The MLB Postseason goes on, despite this judge's choice of Matt Holliday in "Man Getting Hit in Groin by Baseball" as most outstanding work this postseason. The scrappy Twins try to win their first game all year against the Yankees behind Nick Blackburn. The Yankees counter with third-biggest free agent acquisition A.J. Burnett, making his postseason debut. This season's statistics would indicate that New York is the favorite, but bear in mind that the Yankees have not been up 2 games to none in a division series since 1999. Twins in an upset, sez I!

The nightcap sees Big Game Pitcher Josh Beckett take on Regular Game Pitcher Jered Weaver. The Angels managed to do what cancer couldn't and beat Jon Lester in the first game, helping to get put all of Boston's postseason dominance over the lads from Los Angeles/Anaheim partially behind them. They can take a commanding two game lead with a win tonight. Beckett seems to shine when he's needed most, but the Sox offense looked mighty pedestrian against John Lackey. Weaver has shut down the Red Sox this year, posting an 0.66 ERA over 13 2/3 innings, and recording 12 strikeouts. Should be a good game, and I look for the Angels to put their boot on Boston's throat and keep them down while they're struggling.

cubs fans...
We were all way off… not a single entrant picked 83 wins (my guess, 93, was just as far off as most people’s). There was one person who chose 84 — Arbusto, who is the winner.
So, one game is “way off”?

Burnett = Nasty.
He’s fun to watch when he’s on, and he’s on tonight. That slider he struck Mauer out on in the 3rd was ridiculous.

What's everybody drinking?
Looks like I missed the Twins taking the lead. I did see that baserunning stupidity in the bar, though.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I have a delightful assortment.
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (The best beer on Earth)
Bell’s Two Hearted Ale (The second-best beer on Earth)
It’s my birthday. We spared no expense.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
I do like Bell's Two Hearted
but when I was in MI I had Oberon, which I liked a lot more. Then again, I’m not usually an IPA fan…
Do you have any other Bell’s beers where you are?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Oberon's a nice wheat ale. I really enjoy that one.
Their Amber is fantastic, their Porter is great for a Porter, and I would rate their Stout as above-average.

Yuck.
I’m drinking Blanche de Chambly. It’s like a 1000X better version of that.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
If you're going to go with a really good (but not too expensive) Oktoberfest
you’ve got to go with Spaten.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I need to try that.
I don’t typically drink lagers, so I’m not as well-versed in the Oktoberfests as I should be. Hofbrau has a good one, as I recall. But I’ll definitely grab some Spaten.

Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I think this one's $25-30
Somewhere in that range.
Save your money and spend $55 on Cotto-Pacquiao on November 14.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
Cotto-Pacquiao will be worth it.
Bring a few friends over, split the cost. No big deal.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
Pac Man
is da bomb.
im very torn that he’s Filipino. Takes a lot of the fun out of watching him box.
"I have found me a home"
Pacquiao is fun to watch...
but Cotto is my boy. I’m really looking forward to that fight. One thing that’s being overlooked is that Cotto is fucking great at neutralizing speed. See: Cotto v. Mosley.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
Yeah, I'm skipping it too.
I love watching Juanma and Gamboa, but they’re both showcase fights. Neither one will have much of a problem. Now, if they make the Juanma-Caballero fight, I’ll probably have to get that one. If they end up with a Juanma-Gamboa fight at some point, oh hell yes.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
Of course, next weekend begins the Super Middleweight Tournament
if you have Showtime. I don’t, unfortunately, but Abraham-Taylor and Froch-Dirrell should both be hella entertaining.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
I didn't realize that Showtime
showed boxing. I mean, I know HBO started out showing a lot of boxing, but…huh.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
If you have Showtime, next weekend will be worth it.
They lined up 6 of the top 8 Super Middleweights in the world (one of the deepest divisions in boxing) for a tournament. Each of the 6 guys (Mikkel Kessler, Jermain Taylor, Arthur Abraham, Carl Froch, Andre Dirrell, and Andre Ward) will fight 3 of the other guys in preliminary matches. Then, the’ll take the top 4 in a seeded single elimination tournament to crown the real champion. I think it’s awesome.

"And A-Rod has come through again"
Words I never thought I’d hear.
It’s not that I thought he’d never come through again, it’s that I never thought he’d be given credit for it if he did. I thought that run would be credited to Jeter’s scrappiness and heads-uppiness.

Go Big Moe! 14-6 at half time over Elder, in the Pit! Suck it, Farney!
In other news, I took my kid to the Toy Story 3D double feature today. The movies look great in the 3D, but the best part was that the movie theater was letting everybody in for free because they only had a single person to work the ticket booth and start the movies and movies were starting late because of it. Our movie started 4 minutes late. So, thanks for the free tix Regal Deerfield! It made up for my 4 minutes of inconvenience!
Definitely a good argument.
As for the last two sentences...

The Twins announcer just complained
about Chamberlain not giving a “good follow-through,” which supposedly would have allowed him to make that play.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
"Joe Mauer has 4 stolen bases this season, all coming in the 7th inning on.
He usually tries to steal one in this situation."
Hmm.
Definitely a good argument.
Uh.
So I didn’t notice that Pujols had so many stolen bases. Leads the Cardinals!

I agree....
but only if it’s followed by “implicated in steroids scheme.”

with the ladies discussing things like catcher’s thighs. I’d like to not remember that.
Yeah, probably shouldn't have given him a fastball
down the middle of the plate.

not the best ballparks, mind you. but the neighborhoods really set the experience apart.

I'm still blown away by how badly the Mauer call was botched...
but even before that, it’s kind of impressive that Nathan blew it so thoroughly.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I didn't realize it was that controversial
Went grocery shopping this morning, and everyone was talking about the Yankees. Senior citizens to zit-faced kids. I ended up having to wait for awhile when the middle aged white woman who was stocking cleaning products got so involved in the post-game analysis with her young black coworker that she blocked the aisle for several minutes.
I’ve never seen it like that: this area probably has as many Red Sox fans as Yankee fans. (As evidenced by this vehicle, which is in the parking lot every Saturday. It’s got even more stickers since I took that photo, including one that says “Yankees Suck!”)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It wasn't really controversial.
It was clearly wrong.
I’m wary of complaining about things that are judgment calls, like ball/strike calls or saying whether or not that player was hit by a pitch the other night. And then there are things that happen so quickly that an ump is bound to get some wrong, like plays at first base.
But there was simply no excuse for this one. This umpire was standing on the foul line all game just to make this call, and when it happened right in front of him he completely blew it.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Rockies - Phillies
Snow began falling Friday night in the Denver metro area as the temperature dropped to 17 degrees in the Mile High City overnight, breaking the record low of 25 for the date, set in 1905. Coors Field was blanketed in snow by Saturday morning, and the white stuff was expected to keep coming down into the day, predicted to dissipate by the 7:37 p.m. game time. Since Coors Field is the only field in the Majors with an underground heating system, the snow might have been cleared away.
The cold is another matter, though.
Denver awoke to icy roads, multitudes of accidents on the highways and snow all around, with the updated forecast for the scheduled 7:37 p.m. game time calling for a temperature of 26 degrees — which would have been by far the lowest for a postseason game in history. That distinction belongs to Game 4 of the 1997 World Series at Cleveland between the Indians and Marlins, with a game-time temperature of 35. The predicted high temperature for Denver on Saturday is 33.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Wimps!
Football players play in those conditions all the time. And they actually have to do stuff!
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
They're "The Boys of Summer"
Not the Boys of Winter.
Might be interesting to play baseball in the snow. “He’s digging it out of the corner” would have a whole new meaning.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
the new park
is going to be dome-less?
That doesn’t seem like a good idea.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Deemed too expensive, apparently.
They will have a large roof covering the seats, though! And maybe heated seats. That would be just as good, right?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I guess roofs are expensive
Steinbrenner didn’t shell out for a roof for the new Yankee Stadium, either. They built it so a retractable roof could be added later.
Personally, I think a retractable roof would be worth it. Especially for the Yankees, where people drive hours to games. Who wants to drive two hours only to find the game’s rained out?
Plus, if Al Gore’s right, the northeast will be getting a lot wetter. Having a retractable roof could be a big advantage over the Sox. Fewer makeup games at the end of a long season.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
unless the stadium is equiped with oxegen and is water tight it wont' really matter if al gore is right.
