Saw a neat baseball quote today by Robert E. Clancy:
“Unlike baseball, life has as many innings as you want. Until you die, only you can declare the game over.”
Pretty cheery for Halloween huh?
More random thoughts on yet another day of no baseball…

In what will go down as the WEIRDEST World Series in History (the fact that it was the Tampa Bay Rays and the Phillies, notwithstanding), in the battle of the teams with the pretty stars on their jerseys, the Philadelphia Phillies are the 2008 World Series Champions, beating Tampa Bay 4-3 last night…and it took [...]

So, the Rays are down 3-1 to the freaking Phillies in the World Series, last nights score being 10-2 (even their PITCHER hit a homer…), and also losing a heart breaking 9th inning walk-off game on Saturday night, 5-4.
The Big problem? Carlos Pena and Eva(n) Longoria has 15 strikeout and NO HITS between them [...]

And here we are, Day 5 without Red Sox Baseball…with only 459,608 days left to go until the start of the 2009 Campaign…
The World Series of Boring just finished up game 2, with Tampa Bay winning that one 4-2 and they are tied 1-1..So their will not be a sweep this year, and my prediction [...]

As the world waits for the World Series to begin, a smattering of Thoughts, Boston Red, or otherwise….
Can I just tell you how little appeal this upcoming World Series holds for me? Yes, a big part of it is because the Sox are not in it, but a big part of it is that a [...]

5 years ago, I was inconsolable and heartbroken when the Red Sox lost game 7 to the Skanks. Part of the reason, I’m sure, is the year after year after year of abuse the Sox suffered at the hands of the “Evil Empire”. Another part, was the fact that Grady Little left Pedro in far…too…long…, [...]

Special Thanks to my 2 gray cats, Alexander and Salem, who intently stared at the TV screen during the 9th inning, causing the error that got Youkilis to 2nd base, and the base hit JD Drew hit to score him….
Scattered and Random Thoughts in the Aftermath:
HOLY…BUCKETS!!! I am STILL in shock! THAT was one of [...]

At this point, if the Sox do not advance, what happened last night will make THAT pill much easier to swallow: The Phillies beat the Dodgers, 5-1, to claim the National League Pennant, due in large part to Raphael Furcal channeling Julio Lugo and making THREE errors in the 5th inning. This is the Phillies [...]

…Homeruns that Red Sox pitching has given up in this ALCS.
Get out the Fork–and stick it in this team–They…Are…Done…
Holy Buckets! What the hell happened in the span of a WEEK? Is this REALLY the same Boston Red Sox team that beat the Angels, who won 100 games in 2008?
And exactly what I feared would happen, [...]

I had a feeling this might happen–everyone was just…a…little…too…confident that Jon Lester was going to win this game, and Matt Garza was going to crash and burn…
And of course, The Reverse Lock engages and Jon Lester gets lit up (5 2/3 innings of 8 hit, 5 run ball, while striking out 7 and walking 2. [...]
