i thought that was just in the disney adaptation of his life. it's true?
Fratboy said:
True, but baseball.
I can still recall Bob Costas starting the 1988 World Series by stating that the lineup the Dodgers were starting in Game 1 against the A's was arguably the worst ever to start for a World Series team.

It was absolutely electric night. The only thing that rivaled this was PNC Park last year, and that was unreal with the blackout and everything.
It's definitely in the book too, whether that was for good copy I don't know. But I bet at least he's not hanging out in camera view, I've never seen him once during a game.PseuFighter said:
He does weird stuff, like drives around and checks the radio every 15 minutes, or he goes to the gym or even a movie.PseuFighter said:

then i'm just going to assume he's alone at a darkened mausoleum slowly shedding tears from the 200-level while grasping to an old am radio.

It's like a budding first round upset in the NCAA Tournament. You root for the story even though it probably means the team that advances is going to get reamed in the next round.
The 1-2-3 second inning Soto was still in the game wasn't he? It's not the first game ever that Jon has had a poor 1st inning.E5 Yaz said:
You pretty much just outlined exactly why a lot of people are rooting for KC. Underdogs are more fun to see win because the odds are stacked against them; it's much of the reason the general population rooted for us vs the Yankees in 2004 and why they hate the Yankees, Lakers, Patriots, Duke, etc.MentalDisabldLst said:

Not at all, Boston sports across the board since birth. Just can't pull myself to root against all the former Sox players and Beane is literally "all in" this year.
An OAK LAA series would have been fantastic.
Ill be rooting for the Pirates tomorrow if that makes you feel better.

He was on the Men in Blazers podcast recently and talked about how he never watches the games. He said that he needs to remain unemotional to be an effective GM and watching the games has the opposite effect on him. It was pretty interesting to hear, actually.
I have no idea how the GM of a baseball team could not watch a playoff game but Beane is a bit of a strange egg.

Melvin: Lester pitched well, gave us the chance to win. Blaming the bullpen and Norris without coming right out and saying it. "Lester just tired in the 8th".

Root for the drama. PNC is gonna rock tomorrow. They're not gonna let the Royals upstage them.
Orioles/Tigers will be fun, Cards/Dodgers will be a rematch of last year's ALCS, and you know Puig will do something stupid.
Nice to see fans refraining from interfering with Hosmer's hit to left. I really think somebody in the stands could've gotten a hand on that one.
I'll give the TBS guys credit for one thing: they were silent for a couple of minutes after it was over, letting the pictures and noise tell the story. That was rare, and cool. Also, pretty cool that SoSH generates 1300+ posts for a non-Sox game. What a game.
Um, Pedro, honey.
