    I'm sure one of the local affiliates will broadcast live. One could catch its stream. WTMJ-TV covered the parade after SB 31.

    If I ran operations, I would have a full sized cardboard cutout of Ueck to bring to the platform during the trophy presentation.

    94% The Rays have only one path to victory.

    The win was nice obviously, but inside a bit upset they didn't win by 4 or 5.

    Statistically, 81% chance of closing this out. Trust the science. The Rays have five paths to victory. The Brewers, many more.

    I went to my first Brewer game in 1971. I’ve been die-hard since 1973. I remember attending a game in 1976 when the Brewers were still considered an expansion team and on their way to another 95-loss season, asking my dad when the Brewers would go to the World Series. His answer was “in 20 years”. I was in 11th grade during the 1982 post-season. I was on a state-ranked team entering the championship phase of our season, chasing down a conference championship and possible state berth. One only gets one shot at high school sports. So, way too much stimuli to absorb. Watched as much baseball as I could, but my attention was divided. I didn’t get to see any of Game 3, only the last half of Game 4, none of Game 6 after the rain delay (I also couldn’t the games in ’81). As a poor-but-proud sixteen-year-old, I didn’t have a lousy $20 for a souvenir World Series T-shirt. That has always stuck in my craw. I did attend Game 5 with my dad. I left that game thinking it was in the bag. Now, I am able to appreciate this World Series even more. I understand the X’s and O’s of the game much more. Modern statistics help me follow the players better. I will be at Game 1 with my wife. The cost was not an issue. I’ve years to mentally to prepare myself that “I will be there no matter what”. And yes, I bought my WS shirt the day after the pennant was secured. The next nine days will have my full attention. What does this World Series mean to me? Other than my imminent retirement followed by world travel with my wife, a World Series title would make my life complete.

    Sold out in 17 minutes. I had two seats in 227 selected for Game 3, but took too long to long onto my Ballpark app. Gone.

    Reading the discussion regarding Woodruff makes me think back to the 1986 Red Sox and Bill Buckner. John McNamara wanted Buckner on the field for the final inning and we all saw how that ended up. The team needs to come first.

    If he has to go on blood thinners, his career is likely over. I was diagnosed with PE, put on thinners with the explicit written statement from the doctor "No football".

    Running for Governor?

    The stadium will be open tonight. Tickets are $15.

    How many people living in Florida are transplants? I could see them supporting their team from growing up years. Not Florida teams. Then again, how does that explain Vegas...

    First observation, much fewer Dodger fans in attendance than last year's Game 1. Last night, didn't see any "Ohtani" fans like I did last year. Not as loud with the roof open. Didn't compare to 2018 Game 1. I thought it was neat gesture to introduce the entire 40-man roster. Priester, nice to see you again! Get well soon! Can't recall Zerpa being introduced. OK, I didn't know Murph is officially number 00. And of course I missed the Turang homer, as I was reading the scoreboard. Did you know Brice's 5.7 WAR was fifth best in MLB? A neat thing to know!

    I had been posting best WPA in the IGT during the season, but stopped. So I will post Man of the Series. Chourio (WPA = +0.61) Ashby (+0.44) Megill (+0.40) Contreras (+0.33) Frelick (+0.19) On the flip side Merrill (-0.46). The two nice catches didn't come close to making up for the lack of offense. Nothing to fret over, Murph.

    After the win, I turn to my wife and go "Oh, that's right. I have to look for tickets now."

    I remember when he was playing in Madison.

    My dad played basketball against him in high school. So yeah...old.

    I was convinced as well. I thought their WS was a year early, but the first of to be multiple. Haven't been the same since Game 163 + WC coin flip.

    OFF: P Lyon Richardson, DFA The 40-man roster is at 38.
  21. Jimbo
    Padres. Luis Rengifo is out for the season, so they don't scare me as much.
  22. Jimbo
    I find the timing somewhat strange. I would think this is something that is done at the end of spring training.
  23. Jimbo
    Glad I tuned in early the second half. If I would have seen any of the first half, I would have turned it off for good.
  24. Jimbo
    As much as I enjoy Al Michaels, that wasn't enough to prevent me from walking away after the opening second half drive.

    Herb? (If you're old enough to remember)
