- Rambling Series (Sun Oct 24 20:13:05 2004)
Is the Giants brain trust watching the World Series? Obviously, no one is calling it "crisply played." I'm hoping that the Boston defense, such as it is, makes an impression. Don't get me wrong, defense is a good thing, just not something I'd spend much money on. And to a... ...

- World Series Start Times (Sat Oct 23 17:11:32 2004)
Because MLB and Fox want you to watch their junk, it's hard to find the actual "take the field" time for the games. Here they are, as a service to those who can't stomach Fox:Game 1: Saturday 5:05 Game 2: Sunday 5:10 Game 3: Tuesday 5:30 Game 4: Wednesday 5:25... ...

- It's Just Talk (Thu Oct 21 22:55:43 2004)
I logged into Magowan's chat yesterday, although I really didn't have the time to participate as I would have liked. I kept trying to form a coherent question to a difficult concept without being a jerk, which I found was quite difficult to do. Eventually I submitted another question that... ...

- Well Done, Sox (Wed Oct 20 23:02:12 2004)
I enjoyed that very much. Wouldn't have minded seeing Lowe pitch another inning or two, thank you, but it's hard to complain. OK, I will complain. Fox, where the hell were the shots of Steinbrenner?... ...
- Free to Be (4 Games to 3) (Thu Oct 21 07:30:06 2004)
No disrespect to my blogging partner Elbo and his pinstriped heart, but last night's Red Sox victory was the best thing to happen to baseball in years. ...- Petard/Hoisted (Thu Oct 21 13:36:38 2004)
In French, a petard is a firecracker or explosive (it's related to the word for "fart"). I'm not sure how one can be hoisted upon one's own firecracker, but Peter Magowan in his online chat yesterday did exactly that. The question was why don't the Giants get a better hitter to protect Bonds. Here's ...

- God I Love Baseball (Tue Oct 19 21:56:07 2004)
What more could you ask from the Boston-New York series? Although Game 6 didn't have the extra-inning cliffhanging of 4 and 5, it didn't lack for drama. We got Curt Schilling pitching on guts and a bum ankle, his sock sopping up blood. We got clutch at-bats from Varitek and... ...- Portrait of an Artist (Wed Oct 20 14:47:34 2004)
Thank you, thank you, King Kaufman, for making my English degree worthwhile: The ball had hit a fan in the front row and dropped back onto the warning track, but this was missed by left-field umpire Jim Joyce. And then Red Sox manager Terry Francona asked Jim with his eyes... ...

- Best Playoff Round Ever? (Mon Oct 18 23:00:43 2004)
With three of the first five games absolute classics, the Red Sox-Yankees series is shaping up to be one of baseball's best ever in the post-season. Lieber's performance in game 2 was pretty damn good, too, but the game didn't quite have the roaring, epic, chew-on-this magnitude of games 1, 4 and 5. ...
