Man, What A Finish...

[Lord Jim]

A couple of super fielding plays keep the Reds from scoring in the 8th....

Now they are down to their last three outs, but first the Giants are coming to bat....

[MajGenl.Meade]

Just an hour to go then.....

[Long Run]

Or just enough time to hear an eternity of Leonard Cohen music.

Missing Brian Wilson about right now.

This comment on youchewb is too good not to share:

This was the last song I watched on Youtube with a good friend of mine a short while before he died. It was one of those moments I wont forget. I knew he was ready to go by the way he sighed with both contentment and a kind of silent wanton as he listened to "closing time".

Get ready for death!

[Lord Jim]

Oh man, that last at bat for the Reds was more 'exciting" than it needed to be....(more dramatic tension in that half of an inning than in a whole cricket season)

But...

GIANTS WIN 6-3!!!!

First National League team to come back from a 2-0 deficit in a division series, and they did it winning three straight on the road!!!!

Well done Gentlemen!!!!

First Pol Pot, and then this....

Is there to be no end to the suffering of these people?

Compared to this, the killing fields were almost an act of mercy.

Well, Jim................if the Giants end up playing the Nationals, where will your allegiance lie?

Good point. We will see the "real" LJ!

[Lord Jim]

I'm still up in the air on that...(I thought the Nats, but I keep going back and forth...a lot of pressure on the home front to pull for the Giants....)

The Nats are playing now, they're down 2-1 in their series against the Cards, it's tied 1-1 in the fifth of game 4...

If the Cards win I won't have that decision to make, but I'm still pulling for the Nats against St. Louis....

Fnaaarrrr... he said he was going to pull for a giant!!

[Lord Jim]

Just an hour to go then.....

Of course that's never a problem with a Cleveland Indian game....

Three up three down keeps the pace moving along briskly....

[MajGenl.Meade]

Oh boy! Them Yankees be playing Friday!

Nationals...they have already been screwed out of TWO postseasons (1981 and 1994). It's time.

I'm hoping for a Nats-Orioles World Series.

And this is... what, dominoes we're talking about?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Pish man! It's much less relevant than dominoes.

Me too Jar. Go Os!!!!!!

[Jarlaxle]

(You are just saying that because you want them to beat the Yankees!)

(Which, for the record, is perfectly fine!)

[MajGenl.Meade]

I prefer the Baltimo's to be bundled out now and the Yankees to have a heartbreaking loss, at home, in game 7 of the WS after coming back from 0-3 down and then leading 15-2 in the 9th.

It could happen

congrats to the Giants (originally a NY team). I have no love loss for the Yankees and really don't care if they win or not. It is ammusing listening to sports radio and the Yankee fans knowing how it should have been done and how Joe G has screwed it all up. But then again, hindsite is 20/20.
