1. Hard choice for me because I do not really dislike either team.
   But I'll go with the Mets because I like Mike Cuddyer and it would be nice for him to get a ring.

   1. Plus, I didn't realize until now, that Tim Teufel is their third base coach. According to my parents, he was my first favorite player!

   2. Ouch.

      1. Wasn't paying too much attention to the game, but I think I heard a 2-26 playoff performance mentioned sometime tonight.

         1. b-r stats havent updated yet, but coming into the game Cuddy was 1-8 and a BB during the playoffs
            had a .348 /.375 /.493 /.868 slash line in 72 PA with the Twins during the playoffs.

2. What, exactly, in the hell was that?

   1. I came here to post exactly this.

      1. I can't decide if the replays make it more or less inexplicable.

3. well, that happened.

   1. A fine tribute to Torii

      1. oh man, that made me legit LOL

4. I think I want the technical difficulties to continue.

5. Did anyone even know that MLB Network have an international feed?

   1. This has to be embarrassing for Fox.

      1. It really can't be any more embarrassing than paying money to Harold Reynolds.

      2. I'm hoping they never fix it. Vasgersian and Smoltz so much better than Buck and Reynolds.

         Fox doesn't even give enough of a crap to write a new song for the damn World Series. It's a joke.

         1. I came to say the same. Vasgersian and Smoltz >>> Buck and company.

            1. For real.

6. We just delayed a World Series game because America couldn’t hear Harold Reynolds. Think about that.

   1. Hahahaha...uh....

      Sadface.

7. Former Mankato Moon Dog great Curtis Granderson!

   1. I love the Northwoods League.

      1. It is really cool having a team in town.

   2. There are bobbleheads of him wearing a Moondogs jersey. I've seen them.

      1. My old man has one.

8. I wonder if Buck and Reynolds moved to the MLB booth. I think I hear all four now.

9. I notice that MLB net uses OBP for its batters graphics.
   I wish FSN would show that

10. This game
    

11. I vote for Royals in a bananas seven game Series.

12. I'm in the tank for the Royals.
    I think you all know that.

    New Technology alert: I'm watching a baseball game "broad-cast". That is, the images are sent on a signal that is sent through the air, not on wires to our homes, not on personal data.
    Everyone gets it for free! All because people love baseball so much, they realized that utilizing a "broad-cast" would be more efficient.

    1. Downside: Joe Buck.

       1. Worth every dollar I pay for him.

    2. I wonder if they could use this technology to broad-cast local baseball games just to the local fans, rather than the championship series to the entire nation.
       I certainly hope they look in to that idea! Local sports broad-casts! Imagine how many fans they could attract!

13. I'm slightly leaning Royals, but I really don't care. It would be kind of cool for Wilmer Flores to win a World Series after he was devastated learning about a trade mid-season that never happened. If he walks-off one of the games at home, that would be sweet.

14. E-3 !!! wow!

    1. hmm, that doesn't count as a walk-off

15. "He saved extra bases by getting back up."

    Harold Reynolds, referring to Granderson falling down running to a double, but having the courage to stand back up, and not lady in the ground, as we may have expected.

    1. "Lady in the Ground"
       M. Night Shyamalan's sequel draft that no one has yet asked for.

16. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17. crushed it

    1. 

       1. tee hee. thanks mags

18. WHAT?!!!!

19. Dr LX Gordon
    Spinning tunes in the Fountain Chillout Room

20. Wow. Pummeled that one.

21. Rooting for the Royals. They've been my "little brother" AL team for a long time now, and with the Twins having a future I want the Royals to get their one last shot at glory in the here-and-now. Also, NY.

    But mostly, I want baseball to be awesome, and so far, game 1 is checking that box.

22. Alright guys. My last half inning, then bedtime

    1. but it's free!

       1. so is sleep

23. You west coasters must be loving 9pm baseball

    1. Aye-yup.

24. I think I can make it another.... Two innings?

    1. I'm done after the twelfth.

       1. Crap, thought I wasn't gonna miss anything there for a second.

          At this point, I wouldn't mind seeing Colon get the win, just cuz.

    2. This was a lie. I was asleep five minutes later.

25. Its getting to the point of the game where the local FOX station ran out of commercials.

    PSA after PSA after PSA

26. Who knew Colon could still field his position that well?

    1. Harold sounded like a believer.

27. Colonization!

28. The details Budweiser sweats are how to minimize inputs and maximize profits.

29. I ❤ Bartolo Colón.

    1. Loved that clip of his behind-the-back flip.

    2. holy crap. the repository:

       Colón grew up in a home without electricity, running water, or indoor plumbing in the town of Altamira in the Dominican Republic. He worked 12-hour days with his brothers, sister and father, Miguel, picking beans and fruit.^[1] His mother's name was Adriana. He does major charity work for his old community.^[2] The family could not afford balls or gloves so they substituted tightly wound rags for balls and milk cartons for gloves.^[1]

       1. The New York Timeshad a good article/profile of Colón earlier this year: "Defying Time and Space."

30. A-Rod has a future in the booth if he wants one.

31. THIS IS THE STORY THAT NEVER ENDS!

32. Loaded Breakfast Sandwich at Jack-in-the-Box: bacon, ham, sausage, and bowel cancer.

33. That's a tough error on Wright.

34. It would be a shame for Colon to take the loss here.

    Why walk the RH hitter to load the bases with no outs?

35. And Hosmer de-goatifies. Great game.
