The Cards are all of a sudden starting to look like, well, the Cubs.

For last night's performance, that's an insult to the Cubs.

:D True story.

Well, that turned out better than I expected.  At the very least, least we won't have a repeat of 2004 (i.e., no sweep).

Yep.  The double steal really surprised me.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah, and the Red Sox fielding breakdown was the icing on the cake.  Now that the game is over & won, I can objectively say that was a beautiful HR by Ortiz.  He got Wacha to put it right where he wanted it.

Awesome game otherwise by Wacha-- he deserved the win.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Bud Light! :wacko:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Ortiz, despite playing for a team as evil as the Red Sox, is a fucking awesome hitter.

Well, I'll be damned.  The Cards win due to stupid luck.

I'll take it.  Hell of a hard-fought game.

Joe Buck seemed really disappointed that the game ended on an obstruction call.  WELL GET OVER IT

I was curious and looked up the rule.  The definition of obstruction (by a fielder) gives an example.  The example happens to almost exactly describe the play.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
