Personally, I'm anticipating a 19-inning 1-0 ballgame tonight between the Red Sox and Indians, because no two teams in the playoffs can expect to deliver Major League-caliber performances without at least 9 or 10 days off between games.
The Indians try to close out the Red Sox in Boston at 5:21 Pacific Time.

cal season is down the toilet

I know, what a bummer.
Got to my hotel in NY just in time to see the finale (but not in time to get to Brooklyn to Pacific Time). Depressing welcome.

I hope we get to see Dane Cook tonight.

Go Tribe!
The reason everyone hates the Yankees is that they buy there players instead of "growing" them. Well look at the Sox, same approach just less money.
Go Cleveland!

Dane Cook's hair looks like someone
crapped on his head.
by Jennifer on Oct 20, 2007 6:09 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
A combination of that and...
you know how to test the stiffness of egg whites? It looks like someone did that to his hair. Someone formed stiff peaks out of his hair.
by Jennifer on Oct 20, 2007 6:12 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's a perfect match, then
since his material sounds like someone crapped on his script.

I tried to give him a chance...
but I ended up asking myself Why are these people laughing?

Maybe they're the ones
who crapped on his script.
Or his head.

Did Kevin Youkilis just skip to first base?

Does Fausto realize he might have to throw strikes at some point tonight?

Call it a gut feeling, or maybe
just terrific baseball savvy, but I think there's going to be a Game 7.

I'm not really enjoying this
(and that's with the sound off), but I am sorta enjoying the fact that this isn't the A's being smacked around.
Because if this were the A's blowing Game 6 in Fenway after being up 3-1...well, I'd be swearing so much that the cast of Deadwood would blush.
by Nick on Oct 20, 2007 6:56 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
This game reminds me of Game 4
at Minnesota in 2002, where the A's went into a loud visiting park, and as everything else went wrong, the defense fell apart to seal the deal.

It's reminding me
of Saturday morning at Ohlone Park.
Except Cheese and Bones actually knew how to catch and throw.

A crappy day
The highlight was my daughter's soccer team tying an undefeated team from another city.
Other than that, it's been miserable.
Cal loses again.
Cleveland getting crushed. And by the way, baseballgirl, I'm holding you responsible.

I'm really getting sick
of that vintage/distressed batting helmet look. Particularly with a guy like Trot who hasn't been with the Indians long enough to get his helmet in that shape.

This game may lack suspense
But over on the Food Network, Battle Eggplant has been captivating. Mere minutes until we find out whose eggplant will reign supreme. The tension is palpable. You might say you could cut it with a knife. I predict the winner will be the side that didn't make the eggplant cupcakes.

Only the Red Sox could be so evil
as to take me from "resigned to the thought of the their championship" to "open to dreaming they might not win" to "gleeful at their impending demise" to "agonized at the thought of their championship."
All in all, it is better to have never loathed at all.

by 3Chavy3 on Oct 21, 2007 8:02 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah
Game 5 win you could just chalk it up to Beckett being dominant no matter what Cleveland did. But Schlling was totally hittable.
I was wondering when they read the lineups, why at least Martinez and Hafner weren't switched in the batting order. Hafner's in an ALCS slump, while Martinez has been their most feared hitter.
by OaklandSi on Oct 21, 2007 11:42 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Martinez is also literally
hitting .650 lifetime against Schilling.
