Well, this is off to a not so great start. 😛
Glad I'm not posting K thumbnails, Sawks setting records this post-season
He struck out the first six consecutive batters. So when he writes his name in capital letters in the record books, that “W” stands out even more than the A-I-N-W-R-I-G-H-T.
hey look! PSLCB got a hit!
I think I'm pulling for him. But as an indication of how much I'm paying attention, the WS game is on previous channel and the "Parks & Rec" bloc on FXX is my main viewing this evening.
the cable company had FXX on for 3 weeks, then it disappeared. boo-urns.
THAT WAS BALL FOUR
I just looked at what gameday said happened.
Did Matheny really sac bunt the runner at first with the batter before the pitcher?
Kozma tried to bunt for a hit.
That was how I saw it, too. Came up about six inches too short at first.
ok, when does David Ortiz's name change from Big Papi to PSLDO

Holliday out!
That HR sounded really good, like Holliday couldn't have gotten it more on the sweet spot.
that's pretty much what the KMOX talking heads said, too
Either that or his bat is corked. 🙂
Maybe it's one of those wood/titanium composite bats.
Maybe that would prevent batters from getting stabbed in the neck by bat splinters.
Alternatively, they may get stabbed in the neck by titanium splinters.
Two loud outs after the HR.
WTP
Strikeout bunts, all part of the glorious beauty of strategic National League baseball!!
I might even argue that striking out on a foul bunt is the lamest way to get yourself out. You purposely set your sights low, and you still failed. Even with a strikeout looking, you could be giving a decent effort to get a hit.
So, when will we be able to have the crowd noise option?

Christ, I may not be alive.
Turnover.
Robot broadcasters now!
Don't bogart the hits, bro.
the Cards got a break when the ball bounced in the stands
Who doesn't love the sportsmanship of mutual butt slaps after a play at the plate?
Yeah, that was pretty unexpected / awesome. I can't believe I just said mutual butt slaps are awesome.
/buttslap
I'm predicting an epic comeback.
I didn't say that inning.
I don't think they had Ross at the plate.
Maybe. I don't feel like he did anything artful to avoid the tag, though, so I'm cool with not being too technical about it to keep the catcher somewhat more safe.
Oh, the ball, and the tag attempt, totally beat him. I was just commenting on execution.
Sure, yeah. Actually, on the replay, it seemed like Ross may have landed on Molina's glove before any part of him hit the plate. Weird slide.
It was an awkward play, but an epic butt slap.
Ross almost bounced over the tag
That is a hilarious hit for Ortiz. Such a slow, deep roller that even he could run it out.
Well, he did lose some weight.
I'm not quite ready to start calling him "wheels", but I might be willing to call him "wheel".
Insert spare tire joke here.
Where's my like button? I swear it was just here...
Paging jobu. Jobu to the joke isle.
Yeah. Of the inane things said tonight that one qualifies for the competition of most inane.
Here it comes!!!
Oooh, double switch, everyone break out their thinking cap, this game's about to get cerebral!
Is Adams so inferior to Craig...why is he out there?
edit...nevermind me.
It's safe to assume the Cards will come back in the 9th and win it, right? So I can go to bed.
I might not put money on it.
The "not" in that sentence is meant ironically, right?
Oh, mama. The Louisiana lottery just broke into the feed to announce the winning numbers. Baseball is dead (in Louisiana).
to be fair,most of the times when the Red Sox play, 10pm is only the 6th inning
Left-handed Red Sox starters in the World Series--yeah, I bet that's a big group to begin with.
Well, this is off to a not so great start. 😛

I think that knocking the ball out of the pitcher's glove while running to first is the lamest, but a bunt strikeout is a close second.
High five!
I forgot about that one.
But but but no specialists in NL baseball!!
this Wainwright guy is pretty good
Howdy, y'all.
Why hello, you savory steak.
