You know, I really don't like Brett Myers as a person (the smacking-his-wife-around bit is essentially unforgiveable)....

…but I have to say that I love the fuck out of the fact that he brought a bat with him to his pregame press conference. Backing it up, too.

Runs like a slob, though.

You know what was interesting? Manny fucking up again last night, costing the Dodgers a run that would have conceivably tied the game.

If he hadn’t admired his would-be home run that stayed in the park, he would have made it to third base instead of second, and then scored on the subsequent wild pitch.

Fuck Manny. I vacillate on my feelings towards the Dodgers and Ramirez, but for now: fuck Manny.

Yes, but this presupposes a soul-destroying Rays loss.

The WORST matchup would be Phils-Sox, without any really interesting narrative to grab me (though I’d root for the Phils). Rays vs. Phils would please me the most, precisely for the reasons that it would piss off the network executives. I could settle for Sox/Dodgers so long as the Dodgers won out.

I must have missed this. Did Moyer mention that he spanks his daughter?

FWIW, I see nothing wrong with that at all, assuming it doesn’t cross the line into outright abuse of course. I got more than a few well-timed spankings as a kid (all fully deserved), and I won’t lie: that shit worked for me.

Receiving spankings.

I remember them quite clearly. I also remember that nothing short of that would make me behave on those occasions. They were rare, and they weren’t even necessarily painful (I remember it was always the anticipation of it that freaked me out more than the actual spanking), but they were effective.

I wouldn’t be opposed to giving them as a father, when necessary. Emphasis on necessary. I’m a softie at heart, so I dunno if I could ever actually go through with it though.

Only Game 7 could be a walkoff

Game 6 would be in Fenway. And in a 3-0 scenario, a walkoff is not what you want in that situation.

Part of my original Shields fantasy has the Rays winning the game 33-0

Thus fulfilling the requirement of both a perfect game-turned-no hitter AND the highest scoring game in baseball history.

Games 4, ,5 and 6 have to be close

with games 4 and 6 won in extras. In game 7 they have to wipe the Sox off the face of the earth.
