Open Thread: World Series Game 2 (cont)

We have an excellent game going on tonight; the score is 1-1 as the Yankees come to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. The Phillies scored on a single and the Yankees on a solo HR by Teixeira. Both pitchers are dealing.

I've never flagged any post on AN

but on the Raiders blog I do it everytime I go on the site which is why I’m going to stop going on that site.

The problem with flagging

is that you’re reporting the post to the mods. In S&BP’s case…you might as well not bother.

I think Derek Jeter is setting the whole arc of the series with his secret powers

so that he wins it in the bottom of the 9th of Game 7, changes his name to Derek Jesus and ascends to the Heavens as the whole world watches.

What is up with that idiot behind the plate waving his hat?

Does he think he’s going to distract the pitcher?

That was my closest Costco.

Just looked on Stub Hub for tix to Yankee Stadium

Game 6. Most expensive ticket was $199,999.00…unreal.

Bring back McGwire and Canseco, that would solve everything
