Superstition and Favoritism
The second, first. So, I mean, I know who is going to be the favorites of a Fox broadcast. Ian Kinsler. Sure. Small, white guy. But, come on, Brandon Inge? "You know what Inge can do... we'll tell you about the rest of the infield." What can Inge do, again? Besides be one of the worst regulars in baseball? Delmon "remember that guy who threw the bat at the ump" Young makes a great running catch in left field and McCarver and Buck go on and on about Brandon Inge POINTING AT IT? I'm sure Delmon Young tends to just watch the third baseman to see where each ball is hit.
I'm not anticipating good things for the Crew if they make it to play on Fox. Firstly, all the action previews are all Cardinals except for one showing the 1982 Brewers. In tonight's pre-game, RIGHT AFTER the host was saying how Pujols was mimicking and taunting the Brewers' Beast Mode thing, which is only for their own amusement, Eric Karros just stuck to the script and said how the Cardinals play the game "a certain way" and "don't go in for antics." Why are all former players white dudes with sticks up their tails? I mean... A.J. PIERZYNSKI? The guy who punches his own trainer in the balls when the trainer asked how he was feeling after A.J. took a low foul ball?
Anyway, Jessica is coming over tonight which is good news. She was here when the Crew finally clinched. She was watching with me for the first two games of the NLDS, not the third and fourth. She came over in the fifth mid-way and the Brewers immediately did better. Game One of the NLCS, she was here late, on her way just in time for the crazy good inning. She missed Game Two.
So... I'm just sayin'!
