Tejada at 2B = renaissance? Wow.

Vogelsong another great start

I dunno fellas. Song at 114 pitches. Facing Bay with a runner on in the 7th. I'd pull him. Now.

OK, sorry. I will change the diaper and go post on the Disney board as punishment. Of course, self-punishment is what Ohio State tried to do today, right?

lol, you saw that, too? I was thinking the same thing.

I am old enough to remember that play when it actually happened. It would not have mattered because the quake enabled the A'ss to go with Stewart and Welch instead of having to rely on Mike Moore and Storm Davis. I will not disagree that Stewart and Welch were the better 1-2 pitchers, but I still think that Reuschel, Robinson, Garrelts and Downs were a better 1-4 than the A'ss rotation.

If the earth doesn't shake, I honestly think the World Series ends differently.

That said, i am happy that since that time, the A'ss have gone into the shitter and the Giants have become one of the most dominant teams in the game year in and year out.

Bay is very ordinary this year

I used to have every one of those Ed Halicki baseball cards.

 

[msgkings322]

Not psyched about the Costas/Michaels nonsense tonight but kinda cool when they replay some of their calls from the past (the quake, Halicki's nono, etc)

 

[msgkings322]

Ross with the towering single. Nice!

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

Mets getting us started right this inning

 

[Stokes1931]

Ross with the screaming shallow pop fly single to leadoff the 7th.

 

[calsnowskier]

Burriss looked out there...

Not a Costas fan as a baseball announcer. But I love Al Michaels, used to listen to him in the 70's.

Also, every time I hear him say, "Do you believe in.....?" I get teary eyed and goose bumps.

Anyone who doesn't get goose bumps at that call is either Russian or dead.

Al and Bob are now off the air, K&K return. Whew!

As do we all...I remember distinctly watching that hockey game live. I was 10 years old, and it was unbelievably awesome, even though like most I didn't follow hockey. But if there's any reason sports exist at all, it's moments like that.

And he ends it with, "Yessssss!"

The most joyous sports call I have ever heard.

I'd put Hodges' Bobby Thomson call a wee bit ahead. He lost his damn mind on that one.

Last one, greatest countdown in a sporting context:

"Eleven seconds, you've got ten seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles?...YES!"
