Infuriating!

Since 1998 I have hated the staggered playoff schedule that has, until this year been limited to the first round of the baseball playoffs. That year the Astros played the Padres in the first round and lost to Kevin Brown. Because of the extra day off that was inserted between game one and game 2, Brown was able to come back earlier than he would in the traditional format.

Now they bigwigs of baseball have bowed to the TV gods again and allowed a break in the LCS schedule that should not be there! Tampa Bay is on a roll and should not have to take a day off, allowing extra rest for the Sox' pitchers!

It is infuriating!

Acknowledging Greatness

Acknowledging greatness is sometimes a bitter pill. That is the case for me with the Boston Red Sox of 2007. They completed the sweep of the Colorado Rockies in the World Series last night. There are some who will point to the long delay the Rockies had to endure after having swept the D'backs. But the truth is that the Red Sox were the better team and they took care of business in a professional way in the Series!

Stinkin' Sox

I did my best to pull the Cleveland Indians through against the Boston Red Sox in the American League Championship Series. But the Stinkin' Red Sox won the last three games to win in the decisive seventh game. They now advance to the World Series against the Rockies!

21 of 22!!!

The Colorado Rockies are playing at an unbelievable level. They have won 21 of their last 22 games and are now one win away from the World Series. Last night, in cold damp weather, they beat the Diamondbacks 4-1, with journeyman Josh Fogg doing the pitching. Can they be stopped?

Taveras Scores!

The Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks are in the fifth inning of game two of the NLCS and the Rockies just took the lead with a sacrifice fly from Todd Helton. Willy Taveras had walked, moved to second on a hit and then advanced on a fly ball by Matt Holliday. Go Rockies!
