Sports has an important lesson for politics and life: if you always do your best, sometimes you can come from behind and win. Go McCain/Palin!

Hopefully they’ll beat each other to a bloody pulp over the next two games and wear down their pitching staffs, so whoever wins will be tenderized for the Phillies...

As Yogi Bera once said: “It aint over, till its over!” And, as long as I’m throwing out sports cliche’s, I’ll just say: “That’s why they play the game (or hold the election).”

Great story and metaphor for the present political times. It’s NEVER over until its over.

I’ve visited Boston a few times and it a town that seems to have “it” when it comes to sports. I hope the series goes down to the last game and last pitch.

The Outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day:
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play.

Why on earth did Maddon not leave Kazmir in to pitch the 7th. He was cruising and he could have tried to continue. With a few hits, then take him out.

I have seen managers do this consistently. Who say a guy can't pitch 9 innings? Lou Piniella (Cubs) does that a lot also.

I hope the Rays have it together to finish off Boston. Sorry, just not a fan of anything east coast.

Over?

I think not.

(Been riding with my tagline the past week or so.)
