You should have asked him how the wife and kids are doing.

Sir Czar Klein

Wait Klain... I was thinking Calvin Klein.

Because some of the regulars here are fans of professional baseball and because I want to be in the cool crowd, I am trying to find an interest in the World Series and watch a game for the first time since Sammy Sosa hung up his needles.

I am failing miserably.

Rabel -- Husband is watching. He doesn't do chat / comments, unfortunately. Not a fan of either. Just likes baseball.

Lem -- you watching?

Rabel said...

A beanball or two would help.

I'll add some alcohol to the plan, maybe that'll do it.

Yeap.

I'm rooting for the Royals.

The Red Sox have three world series victories this century. Should San Francisco win they would tie that.

Rabel said...

I can't help but notice that most all of the players are white or whiteish. Is that a thing now?

I'm gonna take a visual melamine survey and pull for the darker team as sort of a Crack vaccine.

Rabel said...

Well, it's a tough call. Sandoval, of the Giants, provides a great expanse of bouncing blubbery darkness, but that frizzy headed ginger Giant that hit all the home runs pretty much cancels him out.

Screw it. I'll go with the Chiefs or whatever they are.

I wonder if Pistorius can hit the curve? He's a great athlete and he'll be needing to get out of South Africa pretty soon.

Looks like old Don Porfirio Diaz.

Or maybe Santa Anna

I bailed on the World Series after 15 or 20 minutes.

One thing to keep in mind. If you're sitting in front of the TV, you're not watching a baseball game. You're watching a television broadcast of a baseball game.

What the fuck is going on with the ridiculous lines they draw across the screen to show you the ball path?

And who is that yammering moron in the broadcast booth who jumps in every now and then to play village idiot?

Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

The photography is phenomenal - the release of the ball, the rotation of the ball, things like how Bumgarner's glove absorbed shock of the come-backer - great stuff. Stuff the eye cannot see in real time.

Royals vs Giants? It used to be that only the best of the best, the 100 game winning teams, made it to the Series. Now you might as well pin the tail on the donkey blind folded to pick a World Series team. Does that metaphor make sense? No? Oh well...

Go Gints!
