Public Service Announcement: To be honest, I could care less. I guess I’m glad the Metropolitans lost. I mean, I do remember ‘86. I do remember Coke Head Hernandez in the shower with his teammates still at bat. Later had the balls to say ‘The team never quit!’. I do remember Nancy Lopez’ husband running between third base and home plate like a broad. I do remember a broken bat base hit followed by a passed ball, followed by, well, er, you know. So there’s not much love lost there. However, if there’s one thing I dig, it’s misery for Yankees fans. And if there were one thing that would have pissed them off, it would have been knowing the Sox and Mets won championships more recently than they had. Oh well. I’ll get over it. Besides, it doesn’t matter. No matter who won last night, the Tigers would have crushed either team. The only question now is: Do the Cardinals become the first National League team to win a game in the World Series in a couple of years? Not for nothing, but how bout that Endy Chavez catch. Makes Gary Matthews’ grab look bush. NLCS, Game 7, running at top speed, goes up and into the wall, snow-cones it, gathers himself, then doubles off Jim Edmonds at first. All for naught. Carlton Fisk style. Beltran can’t get it done. Mets lose. How do you not swing at that? You really have to take the bat off your shoulder there. Just embarrassing.
The Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, and Mets are all at home. So are the Dodgers, Cubs, Astros, Braves and Giants. The Cardinals won the National League pennant with the 11th-highest payroll. The Tigers won the AL despite having the 14th-highest payroll.
In baseball, momentum is only as good as your next pitcher. Perez was good, Suppan was better.
