Tigers strike out so much any opposition announcer probably has to a lot of phrases for it researched and ready....

True, but I believe it was a Mariner batter.

I guess Max is the Blue Jays starter for game three. I don’t particularly have anything against players that are traded away or leave through free agency, but I am resentful at the success they enjoy elsewhere and experience it as a betrayal, even though it’s not. 

So I am all for Max tonight although I don’t think I’ll watch the game and I’ll just probably peek in here and there.

I predict you will be experiencing resentment toward Skubal in the near future. I hope I am wrong

He knows our team so well he’ll probably pitch complete game no hitters against us.

When Gibson hit his famous WS homer for the Dodgers, I was watching it on my parents’ bedroom TV with my brother and one of his friends who was spending the night with us. While the three of us were going bonkers, my dad poked his head in to see, said “Gibson.” in a tune of absolute disgust, and left us to it.

This game has had one of the most egregious strike-that-wasn’t-a-strike calls you will ever see. ABS can’t come fast enough.

The strike call was bad, sure.  I think it was the delay that led to the confusion.  Still, Bichette has to be smarter on the base path, and the base coach has to be on top of it, too.

When the Blue Jays screwed the pooch and didn’t score in the top of the 2nd, then Hernandez hit that home run for the Dodgers in the bottom of the 2nd, I was really upset until I remembered I don’t actually have to care about this. The sense of freedom in not being obligated to care is a real delight.

I have been starting to realize that not having to care may be the only benefit of growing older.  I still have a hard time mastering it though.

It would be interesting if this game went 16 or 17 innings and ended in some fluke play that was the equivalent of two winos fighting over a bottle of ripple in an alleyway.

But I’m not really hoping for that. I don’t wish that upon either of these clubs. But it would be quite a spectacle.

Looks like I might be getting what I wanted, but I didn’t really want it. I should’ve hoped for Uma Thurman or something instead.
