Here’s a place to talk World Series baseball here on Free Kraut. Depending on the interest level this one game thread might be enough for the entire Fall Classic.
Your match up is the Kansas City Royals vs the San Francisco Giants.
Play Ball!

Englishmajor wins the game thread…and really wins in life too. Well done.
Seconded
Tremendous
BwaHaHa!!!
Taglined.
Too cool.
It is impossible for me to adequately put into words how awesome this is.
You’re all too kind! I really recommend the Millicent Fenwick Vogue Book of Etiquette, by the way. My mom had a copy and I loved to read it when I was a kid, not that it was much of a preparation for a life in which I have not needed to know what my parlormaid should wear during the day or how to address a letter to an archbishop, but you never know.
Go… fuck it.
I have been trying to watch soccer. I feel like:
i see the problem. half way through your movie the NASL closed and you had all that canned coffee you didn’t know what to do with.
go seattle venti sugar-free non-fat vanilla soy double shot decaf no foams! (unless of course you like the red bulls. [rolls eyes])
that movie’s so dated, when it opened the royals were good.
I am disappointed in schulman/boone instead of sciambi/singleton
I confess this is not as enjoyable as I had hoped.
If it makes you feel any better I’m working my way through an endless book about educational theory…which hasn’t been as enjoyable as I had hoped.
Boo.
Over/under on total runs scored by the Royals in the Series is 3.5 and I’m taking the under.
it was a legit win for the giants. one of 4 so far this post season.
I’ll take the over.
risky
Fuck everything. Whatever.
Thanks, and go As.
Just so you all know, if the inevitable happens I’m basically done with baseball. I’m just tired of seeing this fucking bullshit team luck into wins at the right time, and DFA said it best I think when he said he likes seeing the RIGHT moves rewarded, as opposed to giving Barry Zito, Aaron Rowand, and TIMMEH “fuck you” money or lucking into Cody Ross or Hunter Pence or Marco Scutaro.
Fuck it. The game is bullshit.
Thanks, and go As.
I’m really not sure what we’ve done to deserve having the Giants (probably) winning the World Series 3 times in 5 years. Thanks, Obama.
Why is baseball such a dick?
I bailed in the top of the first. It was what I think we all expected. Midnight hit as soon as the G’s show up.
The good news is I was able to put together a bunk bed for the boys so they arent sleeping on mattresses on the ground for the first time in a couple of years. I may build a desk tonight to hide. But then come game 3 I am in trouble-may need to read about how to refinish my dining room table or something.
When I got home last night, the TV channel was changed immediately. Thank God for on-demand Sopranos episodes.
The story of Marlins Man with the great seat.
Don’t leave me, Mike!
My mom wants me to hook up with the Marlins Guy in the front row.
Hold out for a Tampa Bay fan.
Uh, no. From the story linked above:
He did have a girlfriend who didn’t like sports for nine years…you’d think he could have found that out on the first date.
I have hd a special lady friend that doesn’t like sports for 20 years (maybe 18, I don’t know, and don’t care enough to do the math)
But if she is in beautiful HD it’s worth it isnt it?
If she comes with a healthy supply of Dibs, yes.
I still have 6 minutes to fix this comment and make you two look like FOOLS!!!!!
HEY, TIMMY, HOW WAS IT WHEN YOU FUCKED THE A’S CHANCES IN TEH PLAYOFFS BECAUSE YOU GOT INTO A BARFIGHT IN BOSTON THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR START?
Thanks, and go As.
That was a mess.
well look at the positives… if it hadn’t been for the crappy defense forgiving an out and the crappy defense conceding a run, the crappy defense might not have gotten that lucky out!
que?
“that was a mess.”
nice inning so far.
That “bench clearing” was like Cinemax “porn”.
Hot?
A lot of movement but no real action.
Thank FKing Jeebus.
If you had told me in 2001 that we would still be doing this GBA shit in 2014….I would have believed you. But still.
The only upside of this game not being at the Coliseum, where it ought to be: none of us has to stand still for God Bless America, or risk national scorn for being caught singing “God bless my underwear, my only pair…”.
They should have done O Canada tonight.
Lincecum’s alive? You learn something new everyday.
Not for long.
and on the roster. I mean, If you are not going to use him in an 18 inning game, when the hell are you going to use him?
Christ, what a redneck asshole
And he got into it with harper? wow, this guy has some problems.
Today in out-of-control intellectual property law
I feel safer already
homeland security?
yes, their commandos were in charge of that operation
hey.
o.
IP enforcement might be part of customs. A bunch of other agencies that already existed got put under Homeland Security, including all of customs and immigration.
somebody’s got more than their agencies in a bunch!
that’s why i wear open source. much easier when IP freely.

Keeping your pubic domain in the public domain
Unlicensed underwear has sunk many an empire
I’m enjoying my 80 year old father-in-law’s insistence on call Hunter Pence “underpants”.
I would not be surprised to find out he eschews them
Is it Underwear in the News Day on Free Kraut? No, every day is Underwear in the News Day on Free Kraut. I know Ebola is a Very Serious Story but really, NYTimes:
My favorite thing about Jeter’s Medium-for-the-muscled website is how everybody is a “Senior Editor.”
I like that they have a teaser for the next Senior Editor reveal
They did one of those FB demographic maps for the NFL.
why is there a black dot in the middle of arkansas?
Ugh – that orange stain across much of the west is like cancer.
Also, if they had done one of these in the 1970s, Hawaii would’ve been Rams. And, no Jets?
measuring most of: the kind of person who has access to and the mentality to hit like on an official football team page in FB.
and if they’d done it in ’36, landon in a landslide.
OH ALF LANDON
This does not really seem all that surprising, even despite Maddon’s comments earlier this off-season.
That about does it for Don Mattingly, I would say.
He’s managed to fire himself by FKing up the NLDS against the really underwhelming Cardinals.
I’m not a close observer of the Dodgers by any means, but it has always seemed to me that Mattingly is bad at managing.
I think the last Dodger game I saw LaSorda was still the manager.
The capital S is for Swearing.
He is an amazingly foul mouthed SOB.
A’s have a couple openings on the coaching staff and Gibson and (apparently) Mattingly are free agents…
Hell, why not hire Jeter too? I’m sure the other Senior Editors can handle the website day-to-day.
KTOTD, direct response to David Brooks edition.
Within five years of being out of office President Obama will be one of the most popular Americans in the country.
And I really do think he’s the next one who will really stand out after LBJ.
I like to wait at least 10 years before I judge a President…really 20 years is even better. I think people will miss how calm he is.
Sure, that’s fair. Especially if we get a McCain-esque deranged nutjob next.
McCain would have been a horrible president…if he was in there now he’d be trying to invade Ebola.
Anyone who can win the Republican nomination these days is going to be the opposite of a calming influence. The base of the party is just too addicted to whatever chemical is released in your brain when you are irrationally terrified of something.
I don’t think Jeb Bush stands a chance in hell of getting the nomination but if he got it and won I think he’d be a solid, dull President…and sometimes that’s what the country needs.
OR, we could maybe not vote in another FKing Bush or Clinton.
It’s too bad Bernie Sanders is so old, he’d never win.
Thanks, and go As.
I’ll vote for Hilary if she’s the nominee but I really wish some other Dems would give it a run.
I would rather have Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, but barring either of them winning a nomination I’ll be voting 3rd party again.
Thanks, and go As.
I couldn’t support Sanders under any circumstances. Warren is okay but she doesn’t have much experience. I’m a loyal Democrat so I’ll vote for whoever the nominee is.
Sadly though…I can’t really come up with a Democratic name for President that I really like. There are some Senators and Governors I like but I’m not sure any of them have the juice to be President.
Jerry Brown time
I always say…the fourth Presidential run is the charm.
uck would never vote for him
we’ve got a bigger problem now
I’m pretty sure I have never voted straight down a party line before, and I don’t think I ever will.
Thanks, and go As.
Fine at the local level, but it is getting increasingly irrational to split your vote for national candidates. As far as things happening in DC, there is Team R vs Team D and the particular personalities don’t really make much difference.
and then there is the hope that a 3rd party will get enough of the vote to have federal funding in the next election cycle.
Also, CA votes blue no matter what etc etc
Thanks, and go As.
It’s hard to imagine California going back to voting Republican in the Presidential elections. I’m not sure I could come up with a plausible scenario.
Rising sea levels take out all of Los Angeles is about all I can come up with.
Better take the entire Bay Area too just to be safe.
well, after Governor Kashkari* fixes the [insert something he is talking loudly about], there will be nothing stopping him.
*I had to google the republican nominee
he did a campaign thing where he lived a week homeless in fresno.
why not on sanders?
I don’t know about that. I think there are folks (probably including Romney) who can project calm as they take bizarre and harmful action.
Since Romney was just a one term Governor in a really blue state…did he really take any bizarre and harmful actions?
No, because he had reasonable constituents then.
I don’t think Romney would have been all that crazy of a President. He’s not a firebrand by nature. He’s a silver spoon kid.
He picked Paul Ryan as his running mate. That’s enough for me to assume he would have been a fairly crazy president.
The first Bush picked Quayle and I don’t think he was a crazy President. VP’s don’t matter unless someone dies.
Quayle was an irresponsible pick, but the guy was basically a blank slate policy-wise. Ryan is a genuine radical.
But again…VP’s don’t matter for the most part. I seriously doubt he would have been in charge of fiscal policy in a Romney Administration…thankfully we’ll never find out.
Thanks, and go As.
I have yet to read anything that made me believe Dick talked W into doing something he didn’t already want to do.
I don’t think W wanted to do anything other than be president before his brother.
I’ve been reading about W for close to 25 years…I’ve always thought he was more ambitious than people thought. He was wrong about almost everything but I don’t think he’s dumb, just wrong.
I didn’t say dumb. I think he’s reasonably bright. He’s just deeply incurious and unmoved by anything other than maybe his own rehab religious experience. He was an ambitious guy when it came to attaining power, and then had no real ambitions for how to use that power. That made him the perfect vehicle for the right-wing shadow government.
Oh, I wasn’t really commenting on what you wrote, GM. I’m talking more about the popular perception that W was dumber than a box of rocks.
That’s fine, but it just happened to be Chaney’s company getting the no bid contracts in Iraq? I don’t buy it.
Thanks, and go As.
Cheney benefited financially being VP there’s no doubt about that.
Less bonkers on foreign policy than the neo-con wing, probably. But he still probably would have surrounded himself with those types as advisers.
No. And Romneycare was a pretty great idea. Which is why he ran
onfrom it so aggressively.Just look at scott brown’s campaign and see the future of the republican party.
Noun verb Isis/ebola
Yep.
I’m going to a somewhat fancy fundraising dinner tonight, and apparently they are going to be showing the game on a screen *behind the people speaking*. I can’t escape, no matter what I do.
Wear Royal Blue.
I did this morning for a meeting in SF. And it was at the Westin St. Francis, which is probably the team hotel and certainly had a lot of KC fans in the lobby, which was good to see.
was just at kaiser building / lake area in oakland and was shocked at how many orange wearers there are. most of them with brand new hats, of course.
It IS about time for Halloween.
who actually wears orange on halloween?? there’s no orange sexy zombie! there’s no orange sexy mummy! there’s no orange sexy kitten!
You forgot about “Sexy Traffic Cone”.
I’m pretty much always wearing blue unless I’m going to an A’s game.
Go naked!
As someone terrified of public speaking, I can’t decide if that would improve things or make them way worse.
That’s funny.
The opt out also begins today according to Cot’s. The guy wasn’t lingering, that’s for sure.
Also funny.
Fighter jets are circling overhead, I assume killing time before an anthem fly by in SF. It would be wrong for me to wish for a tragic stadium crash, I guess. I’ll have to vent my bitterness by rooting for Cancer because of the Steve Carrel – Ken Jeong reenactment of the Jeter/Giambi play.
Rooting for a crash would be totally wrong.
A bombing or strafing, on the other hand…
Tim Hudson makes me sad.
Wtf is this umpire doing
Helluva job by Cain getting the run home despite those awful calls.
I like him a lot. Good name, fun player, good interview even.
Daddy, is that what a hitter looks like?
Shift that.
Bubble gum is disgusting.
Or is it?
It is the only time I have it, which is blackened on my shoe.
No, it is.
As a boy I liked bubble gum ice cream as you got ice cream and bubble gum…of course as a boy I liked McDonald’s, pro wrestling, and Chuck Norris movies too.
My fking turncoat father, a life-long (still) Dodgers fan and former big A’s fan, is at this game (he has partial season tickets…) He has a picture of himself wearing a Giants hat at a 2010 ws game. I need to get this off my chest.
ew
Fox is so unbearably awful.
The appeal of Harold Reynolds is beyond me.
I hear he gives great hugs.
Allegedly.
I’d hit it.
Or would you?
with a brick
Thanks, and go As.
He’s better than McCarver…
Yeah, I don’t mind Harold so much.
I was amused more than annoyed when he said he loves NL ball because the pitcher hitting has the potential to kill rallies.
That was amazing.
Well, that’s a given, FSU. I’m you in the mirror universe.
BindEtagereDowngrade
I think we can all agree I’m a downgrade from FSU.
I don’t mind so much if color guy says things I disagree with, so long as he occasionally has something meaningful to say and is technically proficient.
THAT’S RACIST
Not if he’s staking the moderate position at a union affirmative action meeting in 1982 he isn’t.
I’ve just never heard him say anything interesting.
Marlins Guy should get a hat. Visors are so 1999.
Lane Kiffin disagrees.
1999 is the future to people in Miami
That was a nice commercial.
At the list of going all Helen Lovejoy, shouldn’t I be able to watch a baseball game with my kids without seeing an ad featuring dudes punching and kneeing each other in the heads? Not that I’m exposing my kids to the Giants, mind you.
Yeah! It’s 2014 for FK’s sakes. Those dudes should be KISSING!
I have always wondered why seeing endless E.D. commercials is less question provoking that 2 dudes kissing?
With the dudes kissing, if my kids asked I could just say….what the fuck they wouldn’t ask anything because 1) its pretty obvious that the 2 dudes are like any other couple kissing on TV and 2) they have plenty of friends that have 2 dads (or know plenty of gay dudes because we do too)
With the E.D. commercials? what do I say? a pill for grown upss? it gives boys boners? I don’t want explain THAT to them.
Did someone already post this Beane article from the Guardian? Turns out he really likes soccer.
a lot of us laughed at his cinema maths. i forgave him because he wrote moneyrounders.
I am kind bummed that Matt Cain is not playing. i would love to hear dan schulman say “cain stpeeing in against cain, no relation”
it’d be like brother against brother!
though i guess matt’s not black.
Would be better if there was a Giant named Abel.
or if everybody on the royals was named david.
nice AB.
did you accidentally hit caps lock?
rather, i haven’ figured out ACRONYM SMALL CAPS for the web yet.
well, boom MF time!
and i realize i’m daring to dream / getting ahead of myself, but man would it be nice to have the royals celebrate at ATT.
And then we could find out whether Giants fans would torch Muni buses and whatnot for a loss too.
I kinda miss you FKers.
I blame AV.
for what?
The run. Premature celebration.
oh i see. in my defense, i was on my way home during that.
so was brandon crawford
oh my god flanders!
hunter pence is like those guys who try to do messenger style but end up rolling the wrong leg, times 2.
sliding into first at the world series.
capitol corridor!
Look who it is!
“all the ginats fans here going crazy thinking it might have a chance but it was no even close” Dan schulman
nice job roy roys.
Ok, more of that.
things said by actual people actually paid to say things:
“well-played, well-pitched, well-defensed”
this series is like watching two sub 90 win teams play a home and home series in october instead of June.
OK, so I’ve postponed the parade until Thursday at the earliest. And if the Royals win this evening, I like their chances to prevent it entirely.
On another sports note, there was something sad and pathetic about Cal playing in Santa Clara last night before what looked like a crowd of nobody. Plus, it ruined my daughter’s Great America plans.
We’re enduring a severe drought; heavy rain on parade required.
Poetic
Oh lordy.
Needs more gamer babes.
My mom talks to the Royals on TV like she’s coaching a little league team.
There we go, Infante.
Omar Infante making a push for the World Series MVP trophy.
I don’t recall seeing whole sections of visiting fans in the Series before. Maybe it’s just the vibrant Royal blue that makes them stand out. Or perhaps they’re just larger humans.
Bochy hamstrung by National League rules. He’s got his star starter/reliever available, but won’t use him because of his league’s rules.
That’s stupid, though. He’s gonna pinch hit in the bottom of the inning anyway, so double-switching now doesn’t use up any more bench players than he already will use.
hashtag strategy!
Thanks, and go As.
his mistake was starting vogelsong instead of Petit. Petit profiles well for the royals
@FSU Cornfed midwesterners.
More red meat consumed this week by that one section of Royals fans than by the entire rest of the stadium. And the Royals fans are happier. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
We had 2 random cows and some deer show up in our yard this week! Free meat!
A grand slam by a Royals pitcher would make me happier than Christmas morning.
LOL!
“That’s happened before.”
If Hunter Pence was on my team I’d like him a lot, I admit. But as it stands he’s like a scurvy twitchy mongoose I want to run over with my car. Also, chance he takes speed has gotta be 100%, right?
thought about this in depth earlier today. i don’t think i’d like him on my team. closest example is rajai. glad when there was a rajai run, but the embarrassment of watching his gracelessness represent my dudes overpowered that.
reverse schadenfreudeshame-nfreude? and with mr underpants, it’s that to the nth.but really asking here… what the hell is his (physical) deal? he can’t throw or swing without everything above his belt turning in unison… are his eyeballs attached to his shoulders or something? and why can’t he run without putting his hand on the ground at some moment?
He’s way better than Rajai
and way scurvy twitchier. like i quantified, to the nth.
And Pence is a smart baserunner. Rajai is…not.
“ack.”
I had a friend that got a bill the cat tattoo. we lived in So cal so he was shirtless a lot. Which was unfortunate because we had lots of time to stare at the tattoo and wonder if he realized that his bill the cat was red.
If he was on your team, you’d be holding up a “Hunter Pence takes his Ritalin every day” sign.
Ugh.
Wow. Ow.
That was pretty darn exciting. The slow mo of Dyson’s face on the desperate run and dive catch was tremendous.
Damn.
Nassau, Harold?
fuck baseball
Thanks, and go As.
This game has taken several bad turns. Back thinking about a Thursday parade. The BART trip to San Francisco on a parade day is just awful.
Ned Yost is fucking horrible. Just completely fucking horrible.
Thanks, and go As.
Whenever I think about shitty Yost is (and he certainly is), I cannot help but think how badly Melvin fucked up in the wild card game.
Which is why I wish Beane would give Joe Maddon an offer he can’t refuse.
Thanks, and go As.
Ditto.
Context pls?
Thanks, and go As.
he is at the game. he is watching the giants staf kicking someone out
i had a lovely meal at haven tonight. rye manhanttan, and beets and burrata and quinoa, and pinot, and porridge and egg yolk and trumpet mushrooms, and chocolate pudding with pignole ice cream, and nary a jaw ache. never had the urge to check the score. win or lose, life is better without the giants, is what i’m saying.
Did they charge extra to put all that stuff into a blender for you?
funny. but the other night i was damn ready to put a burrito in the vitamix.
he brought his own blender, there was a $5 plugging in fee
We must get more horses. Vote FK.
Who ever knew that “Segway Trampling” was such a hot-button issue?
BTW, Rebecca Kaplan looks like John Travolta, and that’s kinda creepy, although that’s way more John Travolta’s fault than Ms. Kaplan’s.
amazing. can’t figure out which of his answers i love the most. the sports one is up there though. battling with the digital divide.
– Peter Liu, mayor of Oakland candidate.
Scott Boras says Barry Zito is working out for a comeback next year. Gonna try to improve on his career OPS of 1.000 in World Series games.
I’ve never heard of Aaron Lewis of the band Staind, but his voice is unpleasant and that anthem went on forever.
you clearly don’t remember 1999
I once got a piece of fan mail (full of bad poetry and self-pity) meant for him from some 15-y.o. girl in Kentucky or somewhere like that. I don’t know if she tried every A. Lewis in California, or just picked the one at random.
Mail? wow that’s great
I hadn’t either, but I saw the story on Deadspin about him fking up the anthem and I watched the video.
He seems like an asshole and I like tim lincecum.
Just watched the video. Weird coincidence (isn’t it ironic, doncha think?) I have a copy in my MP3s of him doing a cover of “In Your Eyes”. He makes the EXACT same mistake – taking part of the second verse and putting it into the same spot of the first- on that.
Also, I did not think it was possible to dislike Journey more, but this series has disabused me of that notion.
It is not possible for me to hate Journey any more. Hearing one of their “songs” on the radio usually evokes a scream from me, followed by a hasty change of the station, or possibly a bullet through the tuner if a gun is handy.
Hearing Journey on the radio causes me to bop my head and do the white boy groove as I sing along to the music.
boo
I can prove I’m actually pretty cool because I also like Coldplay…(crickets)…hello?…anyone still here?
I like coldplay
If anything was going to get a DF-invasion, it had to be this topic.
They’re the 72″ TVs of music.
how so?
In that it is always fun to bring up the big TV arguement and we are almost in the offseason so it’s time for some METAWARS!!!!
Two runs. I don’t know how much more of this game I want to watch.
holy crap! this is terrible.
Yeah, like Nick Adenhart from a couple years ago. Such a bummer.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29781978
Adenhart wasn’t the one who clocked in at 0.287 though.
never underestimate a person’s desire to drive a car. I don’t get the appeal myself, hell, I hate driving sober, but some people would rather die than be driven around
On the bright side, in 2002 the Giants won Game 1 on the road and Games 4 and 5 at home, and then rather famously had a 5-run lead in the 7th inning of Game 6. They had to wait 8 more years for their first S.F. championship trophy.
They did. But one more win and they’re a modern day dynasty.
Sadly, this team is not managed by Dusty Baker.
awesome. one more game and i’m free.
No, you won’t be. You will never hear the end of it.
Shoot, I’ve reached a point where I grudgingly admire this team. Why did they piss me off after they got Phone Park? I feel like such a curmudgeon, especially when I used to root for them as the National League alternative. And many friends and relatives are legitimate fans, even if the bandwagon crowd irritates me and the Fox Sports chatter of the Greatest Fans in the Greatest Stadium in the world is, well, annoying.
You folks just need to move to Arkansas. No one talks about the San Francisco Giants here…ever.
meh. it’d be like someone trying to tell you what brand of cigarettes is better after you quit smoking.
so basically, this world series is the patch.
I’m not keeping up. Chili Davis is gone. Well, he may have done a decent job as a hitting coach (last two months of the season notwithstanding) but I never felt comfortable with his domestic violence history.
So, is Big Game James an ironic title for Mr. Shields?
I think it refers to the permit to hunt him that will be auctioned off at the end of the series.
#shame
was it wed, or pot?
it won’t matter once you quit.
What is going on in Boston Jay Zed?
I don’t understand why anyone would ever want to play in Boston.
This is surely why I just work all the time.
Seriously, even the fabled “New York Media” does not appear to consist of 100% assholes the way Boston’s does.
Not to defend Boston’s mainstream sports media (which is garbage)… but the source comes from the New York Daily News.
never let facts get in the way of a good story
that is an ok time to slide at first punto
punto doesn’t hook slide though. or whatever that slide was, which required unpuntolike awareness of where the ball was.
That was weird, don’t see a lot of hook slides at first base. I was worried he would hurt his foot.
it was a weird play but a smart slide. like, one of the few reasons to slide there.
Wow, harold reynolds is as bad as advertised.
Did you find a TV on the street or something?
something like that
LOL
Way to go KC, crush ’em like bugs!
Bottom 2, Royals have bases loaded with 1 out and a 2 run lead at home in an elimination game. The starter has been knocked out of the game.
BUCK AND REYNOLDS WANT TO SUCK PETIT’S DICK INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING HOME TEAM. FUCK YOU.
Thanks, and go As.
BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH FUCK THE GIANTS.
Thanks, and go As.
OK Royals, don’t fuck this up.
yeah, ventura quit nibbling. make them run into their own outs.
Mostly I was thinking that an SF comeback win here would be the most heinous event in all recorded human history, pretty much.
meanwhile i was googling WS triple plays.
Bill Wambsganss, 1920 Cleveland Indians, unassisted! I know that story from a book I had as a young kid called Strange But True Baseball Stories. That’s also where I learned about Gabby Street, catcher for the Senators, who caught a ball thrown from the top of the Washington Monument in the early 1900s.
i honestly didn’t know if it’d ever happened. and i’m amazed if you spelled that name without looking it up.
I did. One of those weird factoids of youth that embedded itself in my brain forever, like the Bull Moose Party or where I was the day Thurman Munson died.
I was in my house, indignant that it got more play on the game of the week pregame than did lymon bostock the year before.
Yes, I have always been an asshole.
Bostock’s killer apparently had a helluva defense lawyer too.
a silver lining!
i was at my mother-in-law’s for joe kennedy, wondering WTF is there a curse after lidle a year earlier.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha …
Ditto!
Okay, Royals.
OK, buck just said cain “became…the THIRD royal…be ceome the ALCS MVP.”
but, I mean, they have only won 3 times, so you wouuld think there would only 3 mvps.
Also that’s an automatic double, not a ground rule one
am i the only one who hears “giddy up, giddy up, let’s go; let’s look at the show,” in the post season song?
