Let's GO! Baseball fans!!!!! Verlander v. Weaver and "The Gambler" in G6!
Good morning!
"they are loaded with young talent, especially pitching"
I dare say that the outcome would have been entirely different if the Tigers had Mike Maroth for the Series. Provided they can continue to play as a team next year, Detroit would have the ability to have a 5 man rotation!
"my northside Cubs are next in line!"
Now you've gone and brought a jinx on it, Charles.
Go thee and slayeth a young, unblemished goat! (Then cook it with onions, taters and carrots)
Ok, it's the day after and the Cardinals have won the World Series. So what? This World Series was one of the worst I have ever seen! By the fourth game, I could no longer shake the feeling that I was watching two distinctly inferior teams battling for the championship. When I tried to keep count of the number of strikes taken by Detroit batters, I was dumbfounded! And those were not tricky curve balls, but fast balls right down the plate, waist high! It was almost as if they forgot why they brought bats up to the plate! And in the field, the comedy continued without let-up. Fielders missing balls, overthrowing the first or third baseman, and stumbling and falling down in the outfield! One even crashing into the wall after his missed the ball. OMG! What the hell was this?! I had no favorites in this Series; I just wanted to watch some great baseball. But, not only was I denied that, but I was subjected to some of the worst baseball I have ever seen! Of course, the announcers carried on as if all were normal. Tim McCarver, who is pretty smart about baseball, went on and on and on about drivvel, to the point at which I had to mute my TV whenever he spoke. What he and Joe Buck failed to realize was that most of the guys watching (like me) HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME! We know a fastball from a curve ball and know a screw-up from a mishap! Helloooo! Wake up! This Series was the pits!!!
True. But now, if only some of these talented young pitchers could settle down and stop making wild pitches and throwing errors!
Well it's four days since the Cardinals won the World Series. Still waiting for the stories of overturned cars and fires set in exhuberant celebration. I doubt it would be the same if Detroit had won
