Jump back to BB// Cards look very much like they are returning to the WS even though the team with worst regular season record of teams that made playofsf.
i am DELIGHTED to see Detroit break to 2-0 lead against Yanks!!!! Max
p.s. Drew Storen, i wonder if he will recover from blowing game 5 against Cards--he said "i let the whole team down, it will take months to get over this, no , i think i will never get over this" Not like Ralph Branca who gave up "The Shot Heard Around The World"---he has personality much like Mitch--"It is, in the end ,just a game"
Branca says, hell it was blessing, i became famous. He also furthered the superstition about #13, as the photo that was printed over and over, shows on the pitching mound a #13 with a turned down head as Thompson gores LEAPING around 2nd base.
Storen had the Cards down to their last pitch 5 times--man on third 2-outs score 7-5. Has Molina at 2-1, then throws 3 straight balls. Has Freese down 2-2 and throws 2 balls--so now baseloaded 2-outs, the rest is history.
Cards beat Giants tonight. Later, Max For we Yankee haters:) see below comment.
The economy catching up to Yanks--i had no idea about this "No wonder Game 2 of the ALCS featured thousands of empty seats, like Game 1 before it, and like the do-or-die Game 5 of the ALDS, too. New Yorkers understand a fraud when they see it. They pay for expensive seats, drink overpriced beers, buy exorbitant merchandise and fund a $200 million joke, a team that for the second straight game couldn't score a measly run off the Detroit Tigers' Nos. 3 and 4 starting pitchers. These Yankees earned every last boo."
and writer (Jeff Passan savages the new Yankee Stadium)
"Gone are mystique and aura, the two temptresses of the Bronx, who blessed old Yankee Stadium with kismet and joy and brilliant baseball. In their stead are apathy and malaise, a couple of hags from Yonkers. They embody the new Yankee Stadium, a sarcophagus if ever there was one: no matter how gorgeous and ornate the outside, it remains filled with lifelessness." |
