These tight games have been fun to watch. Some excellent baseball. And a bit of dumb stuff. I may have even learned all the names by the time it’s over. Let’s see if the change to Florida has ant significant effect.
I, for one, quite enjoyed the series opener. No lack of tension. Much lack of sleep. Going to bed at 5:30 a.m. can’t be healthy for old guys.
All World Series games will star at 8 p.m. Boooo!
Oh well, it’s not like it would be an outdoor sport anyway.Well, the Guardians are gone. I never liked that new name anyway. I can understand some native Americans didn’t care for the original Cleveland team identifier but couldn’t they find a pretty bird or ferocious animal up there around Lake Erie?
Well fancy that! I watched the first three innings and finally, at 4-0 Dodgers, I gave in to the 3 a.m. sleepies and stumbled off to bed, figuring I’d take a nap before game five.
I don’t need to tell you what joy Friday morning breakfast was with orange juice, toast, tea and MLB replay.
Who are those guys!?
Let’s root for a good midwestern series.let’s send these Dodgers off to their winter vacation and go to work on somebody in the eastern time zone, don’t care which, to improve my sleep schedule.
Happy to see the Brewers give the Dodgers a poke in he nose despite Misi’s difficult day. It’s hard to cheer for those Milwaukee guys but even harder to like the Dodgers.
I grew to appreciate roofed baseball during my five years working in frigid Toronto. What I didn’t like in those early Skydome days, however, was the rubber dojo mats the Blue Jays played on instead of grass.
Despite all my efforts and expectations I’ve turned into an old guy. The worst part is I don’t believe I’ll live long enough ever see another winning Cardinals team, let alone a championship. I think I’ll spend some time this offseason rereading David Halberstam’s “October 1964.”
26 GB. A sad day. A sad season. Of course we leave 2026 behind armed with any number of excuses to offer up over the winter. We’re rebuilding! We’re rebuilding! At least we had some enjoyable moments with this bunch of youngsters.
Some folks here seem to like the current pen. I watch it work with underwhelming enthusiasm. I hope the Cardinal braintrust doesn’t just wait to see what emerges from down below but gets out there during this off-season and make something happen.
My condolences also ATM. You will have those great memories to carry with you. My dad has been gone for many years but I still have a photo of him as a young guy with the rattiest most tattered glove you could imagine.
Let’s hope the Cardinal bats are up to it today. We need to end the season with a show of muscle over the last four.
The CiFs will sit down shortly to a din-din of turkey breasts with a mushroom and cream sauce and brown rice. Dessert will be a couple of chocolate eclairs from the village bakery.
Rah Cardinals!
