[The Minsky Moment]

Shut up, Meg.

It's not like beating the Orioles, you just need a 12 year old in the bleachers with a glove for that.

You bastard

   This is a crazy inning.  Following a two run double:  Strikeout that got by the catcher, who throws it by 1st and allows a run to score, then catcher's interference that loads the bases, then hit by a pitch to score another run that puts the Cubs up 7-4.

The strikeout should have been the 3rd out.

Ha.  I was looking through old boxes this morning that had been stored in my grandmas garage for years and found some Orioles stuff from when I was a little kid.  I don't remember where we were (either Houston or Arlington), but somehow I ended up with a mini bat and one of those little batters helmets with Orioles logos on them.  The little helmets they would serve ice cream in.  Probably liked the logo and demanded mom or dad get me that one instead of home team stuff.   

[CountDeMoney]

Ha, ice cream...that's exacly what those were used for.

Totally off the hook.  All that with two outs too.

I've recovered sufficiently that I think I can root for the Astros in the Series.  Yeah the Yankees lost but at least they did better than the Bosox.

[crazy canuck]

39 C at game time - In late October!

[The Minsky Moment]

Girardi out.  His ALDS snafu aside, IMO he was in the top quartile of MLB managers, so not sure what the Baby Brenners are thinking.

[Grey Fox]

I think it's Girardi wanting out more than anything.

[The Minsky Moment]

One hell of a pitchers duel last night.

[Eddie Teach]

So it's that time again when I'm surprised to learn the Astros are in the AL.

No shit, right?  And the Brewers have been there forever already, so wtf is with the AL?  All the recent expansion teams have been in the NL, the Nationals, Arizona, Florida...

Stupid sports.

[Admiral Yi]

With their wacko 70s uniforms there's no way they could not be an AL team.

Now the Yankees and Mets, that's the one that I still can't get my head around.

[Valmy]

I know. This is pretty much an all-NL World Series.
