Well Detroit will be at Fenway tonight guess who I'm rootin for

Tottenham Hotspur?

At least you didn't try to compare it to Cricket

Tottenham Hotspur

That sounds like some sort of fancy cocktail....

But I looked it up; it's a footsies ball team....

At least you didn't try to compare it to Cricket

That comparison would be similar to this one:

That was pretty amazing. I am always glad to see a team's relievers blow the save when the manager follows modern orthodoxy by pulling a pitcher that has good stuff going.

Boogers

Leyland takes the blame for not reminding the pitcher that he doesn't want to get beat by Mr. Ortiz.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Still, the Tigers will prevail in 7.

Bet the house.

I wouldn't bet the house. The Sox have a way of making things happen, even against stellar pitching shown by the Detroit staff. But is it a gimme they will win, definitely not -- this is the series I was most worried about. But whoever comes out of the AL will cream the NL representative, that I might bet the house on.

Dave is still feeling the sadness and regret resulting from the home town team, which made the playoffs for the first time in forever (well if you aren't over 21), being sent home early. That and 'burghers still have a soft spot for Leyland who did a good job for them back in the day.

I well remember (but them I'm over 21).

Those damned Pirates were the cause of one of my first and greatest baseball heartbreaks -- when they beat my beloved hometown Os and my adored Scotty Mac, in game 7 of the 1979 World Series.

Another classic October baseball game. Who woulda thunk Lackey would out-Verlander Verlander (by the slimmest of margins)!

Man I can't catch a sports break

Looks to me like it will be Boston vs. St. Louis.

[YAWN]

Is there something important happening in baseball this month?

Not that I'm aware of...

For Toronto, I don't think anything has happened in baseball in October for 20 years (when they beat Lenny Dykstra, Darren Daulton, John "I Ain't No Athlete, I'm A Ball Player" Kruk and some kid named Curt Schilling in 6 with a 3-run walk-off homer).

ETA:

No, it doesn't hurt at all; why do you ask?

Sore losers, the lot of ya!

Don't worry...they beat the starter this time!

And note: pulling Lackey in the 7th worked out PERFECTLY.

I'm sorry, are there baseball games still being played?

I thought the season was over...
