Fourth starters going head-to-head sure makes the World Series seem a little less glamorous.

They should at least get the kid a jersey or a jacket or something.
Ichiro Touched Me Girl practically got all that and season tickets just for showing up.

So why is it that fans can't ever tell when a strike-two pitch has been foul-tipped?
Same reason they think every pop-up is a homerun?

This is one of the few hollidays that I don't mind working because I don't have to put up with the trick or treaters
and/or don’t have to go with the girlfriend and her family.
You're dead to me.
Or watching the Sounders.
I’m excited to be home to watch the World Series instead of being at work.

On the international TV broadcast
(ESPN/Gary Thorne/Rick Sutcliffe), the players introduce themselves by home country.
And it’s so nice not to listen to Tim McCarver.
Far cry from Clemens/Piazza there.

That's only because they don't allow Smoaking in the dugout anymore.

You are one of about 5 people that could get away with that.

All the more perfect a case for redemption.
Pitching in the face of sweet, sweet candy and licking it.

Holy shit.
They literally picked the worst play by play and color guy they could have. This is ridiculous.

Z's next project is to acquire a catcher that doesn't suck.
First base was just a test run.

Well you know, theres this guy in the Yankees system...
Just kidding. Maybe we can pick up some talent in the draft.

He probably won't catch though.
There’s one HS catcher in New Mexico who’s going to go in the top ten, but I wouldn’t take him two because there’s pitching available and also Ryan Christianson/Jeff Clement.

I'm waaay too gunshy about a first round catcher, but maybe the abundance of arms will bump someone down to the second round.
Or else Z can just grab Harper from Washington.

Although he might not catch either.

That was quick.
Although I seem to remember they’ve been talking about this since they drafted him.

Particularly a HS catcher.
If we were picking somewhere other than second, I’d consider it because our New Mexico scouting isn’t bad, and if they vouched for him, I could be into it.

I imagine he'll go 1.

I guess I'm okay with six.
But just because of Cliff.

I have been less okay with Cliff since his re-signing became realistic.

D'awwwww I still love him.
Plus they will probably massively overpay. Doesn’t change the fact that he’ll be mowing us down for the next 5 years though.

I got it in during the NLDS.
It’s getting stale now.

That ball looked like it was hit 12X harder than Posey's, but Posey's was several feet back to straight center, while Francour's was short to left field.
