Mat Latos really stepped on his crank in the 5th, allowing 6 runs.  Reds have been clawing & scrapping to make up the difference, but it's 6-3 & in the bottom of the 8th.

Marty Brennaman was trying to reassure the masses last night that no team has ever lost the series after leading 2-0 in a best of 5, 2-3 format.  Guess there's a first time for everything.

Glad to see Soriano gets a strike zone the size of a minivan tonight.

Umps have been calling the outside strike for bothe teams the whole series.

Apparently this has spread to the Cards-Nats game.  Two feet outside?  Called third strike.  Holliday just got screwed.

Man I am sort of dreading watching the game tonight.  I am turning it off the second the Yankee lovefest breaks out.

I just got home;  did I hear correctly that the O's have stranded 6 so far?

Fuck, this game has me clenched tighter than grumbler's puckerhole in a Marines barracks.

Back to watching the O's-Yanks in the bottom of the 10th.  Too much shit to watch tonight: debate, two baseball playoff games, a surprisingly good NFL game, and I'm guessing there's a college football game on.

If I were a big league manager, I'd stock my entire bullpen with nothing but submariners.  Love how that release unsettles hitters.

And knuckleballers, too.  I'd bring back Charlie Hough.  Threw more junk than Fred Sanford.

Hey, speaking of knuckleballers, check out this trailer about an upcoming documentary on them:

All you guys with sons need to teach them this art.

I remember dad throwing knucklers at me in the Little League batting cage.  Thought it was sorcery.  Managed to hit a couple of them but told him to knock it off after a while.

Always wanted to see if I could make a "junkball" pitcher in The Show.  Never thought about making a pure knuckleballer.  Don't think it would work without SOMETHING that is relatively straight.

Thing about knucklers is, while they can totally vex a line up and drive it nuts, nothing short of something with wings can leave the park so quickly when it goes wrong.
