PrintThe World Series has been competitive, with three fairly close games and a dramatic bottom of the 9th win last night. Too bad hardly anyone outside of Tampa or Philadelphia or the West Coast saw it. They probably should have postponed the game to today, when there will be no TV sports competition (the NFL has no Sunday night game tonight).

Last night's game
Was huge for Philly. Was great to see Moyer pitching so well.
Any game that the Phils win without Hamels on the mound is a BIG win for them, as the matchups favor TB in all the other games.
I’m thinking tonight’s game will have much more scoring, with the hittability of both pitchers….

Go Phillies
FYI the "media’ critic on CNN ( Howard Kurtz) did a whole segment on how this was the most "boring " World Series
ever. Geez does this guy know ANYTHING about baseball. These have been terrific VERY close games between two very different but interesting teams. We all know that the mass TV audience seen uninterested without the biggest name players or biggest cities involved but this series is anything but boring.

meh, again feel reluctant to watch since I would have been in Chicago for this game as well
but oh well, can’t wait to go to Chicago next summer! two years displaced from the greatest town in the world is too long!!
2009 Cubs: Well, Seems so far away..
Did the NFL purposefully not schedule a game tonight due to the World Series?

wow - Longoria all but gave him an enema with that tag and the ump still blew the call!
and it was right in front of him too… terrible terrible terrible…

Speaking the obvious
It’s going to be a long night for the Rays if Sonnanstine doesn’t get over these jitters soon

Josh Vitters?

actually, I was pretty impressed with that fielding play - scooping the ball and flipping it straight to the catcher
shows me he doesn’t get rattled too easy. Pretty much describes this whole TB team.

ARam got the award for top NL Offensive Hitter?
Hmm….

You know he just has a couple cock fights, so he is now called the top offensive person?
I mean come on!

And...it was fan voting...
…surprised Ichiro and Ken Griffey, Jr. didn’t win. Thanks, fans, for your silly voting!

At least we are not having to watch that team from the South side tonight
Can you imagine how that would feel? (Now we’ll see if Crawdaddy is lurking)

I hear it may snow tomorrow in Chicago
with temperatures in the 30s.
And next year the World Series isscheduled be a week later (into November).

Rollins is really, really good. I don't think they'd trade him for Theriot, right?

I'm surprised by the lack of playoff beards.
Shocking, really.

What about Sonnanstine's?
Or did he have it all year?

He's had it for awhile, actually.

Well, the Rays do have their mohawks
at least some of them do. No beards is nice though. Maybe the Phils aren’t superstitious. Maybe they just want to play good baseball and not get all wrapped up about unimportant side issues.

Heh, or maybe many Rays
are so young that they can’t really grow in beards

It does look like some of them are trying
but all they get is that little stubble on the chin.

These errors from the Rays
Sure are hurting them. Considering how good they were defensively in the regular season, it’s pretty surprising. But it’s not like other good defensive teams didn’t have a bad game in the playoffs….

Wow Jackson sure is a Marmol lookalike.
OMG, Blanton goes yard.

Momentum
The Phillies haz it
Of course, they say momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher…but they have Hamels pitching

Scott Eyre warming up in the bullpen. Good for him.

Looks like the NL will be taking home the trophy in 2008
Kinda makes all that hullabaloo about the All-star game seem….silly :)
That would make...
… three NL wins in the six years (since ’03) that the ASG has determined home field (all of which have gone to the AL).
