Prime Time

All right people, we got 10 minutes ’till game time, let’s all gather ’round. I’m not much for giving inspirational addresses, but I’d just like to point out that every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. The local press seems to think that we’d save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves. Me, I’m for wasting sportswriters’ time. So I figured we ought to hang around for a while and see if we can give ’em all a nice big shitburger to eat.

So you’re down 2 nothing in the World Series and you’re going home to get healthy.  There’s really nothing wrong with that, though you’ll want to win tonight because otherwise you’ll be up against it, one game away from elimination and all.

Therefore the Rangers play with some urgency while there’s very little pressure on the Giants.  They’re going back to San Francisco whatever happens and you can’t count on them being charitable and wanting to celebrate in their home locker room.

Now like most pundits I revel in my wrongness so after 11 – 7, 9 – 0 slug fests I am once again predicting a Pitchers’ Duel between Lewis and Sanchez even though they’re only the 3rd best on each staff and the Aces have already gotten lit up.  Who knows, if I am consistently spectacularly erroneous enough I’ll probably get a job at The Washington Post or The New York Times.

This is an early edition.  Since I’m all about alternative programming I’m extending the hours.

College Throwball, Michigan State @ Iowa or Missouri @ Nebraska and Ohio State @ Minnesota or Oregon @ USC, Florida @ Georgia.

Later-

SNL- Jon Hamm Rihanna.  GitS: SAC– Annihilation, Barrage (Episodes 24 and 25)

    2. before my rude interruption, that they expand the roster for the post-season and some clubs have carried 10 or more pitchers.

  23. But don’t despair, did you think the Giants would sweep?

  24. we have 3 dirty uniforms for TX one for SF.

    3 broken bats and 2 SF batters walked because they got hit with the ball.

    Nolan Ryan caught smiling.

  27. What’s up with that?

  31. Rangers fans can feel good about themselves even though their position is only marginally improved.

  32. Top 7th.

  33. Well, you hope for ratings sake, but it ain’t all that as I will explain tomorrow.

    I’m taking a nap.  I had a busy day.
