The World Serious

[Guest Edgy DC]

It took seven pitches to get Spilborgh.

hawpe is it now. He's had his moments. I'm just hoping he extends the inning enough to turn the lineup over at the start of next inning.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nihil.

Last inning of baseball 2007 roll call.

Here!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ninth inning. We have a Matsui at the Bat situation coming up.

But Yorv preceded KazMat
And so did Jamey C.
The former made me vomit
The latter made me pee

[Frayed Knot]

I always get sad at the last day of baseball for the season.
Whether it be the last day of Met baseball (although anger/frustration was more the emotion of the day this year) or of the overall season.

Let's see if the Rox can extend it just one more day.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Carroll was playing second last inning. I think we missed a Matsui benching or soemthing

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

wow Carroll almost got it.

OK, its up to Seth Smith, or something.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ouch, Jamie. Just a little less conversation and a little more action.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Congratulations, Scarlet Hosery.

Congrats to the Sox..

Oh would Chris fucking Myers stop asking Varitek stupid questions like whick team is better, 04 or this one.....

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not that I care but who's the MVP? They keep showing Manny

[Valadius]

Bah.

At least this will make Steinbrenner have a shit-fit.

No obvious choice.
I could make a case for Ellsbury.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd have thought maybe Papelbon too but that wasn't part of the Meyers conversation.

[stevejrogers]

Yankees have to redo those "Got Rings?" shirts!

HAHAHA!

Answer is...

Mike Lowell.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I hate the off-season.

[metirish]

I would not have guessed Lowell for MVP but then again I would not have guessed he had these post-season numbers, quite guy Lowell.

] Lowell hit .333 in the division series, .333 in the American League Championship Series and .400 in the World Series, with a combined 15 runs batted in.

Taken from the Times.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think that makes 4 shitty, forgettable World Seriousnesses in a row.

07: Boston 4, Roxxx 0
06: St Loo 4, Detroit 1
05: Whitesox 4, Ass-tros 0
04: Redsox 4, Cardinals 0
03 was an OK series, with the Marlins beating the Yanks, but no 2001. It's been since 02 (Giants-Angels) where we had a game 7.

[Frayed Knot]

The whole post-season had a total of 28 games, barely more than the 24 game minimum and well below the 41 game possible max.
Aside from the Bost-Cleve semis going the distance, the seriously, I just used a racist word when I really meant "Guardians" losing a game to the Yanx in round 1 was the only other non-sweep.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I blame Dane Cook.

[Guest Edgy DC]

An extended series would have gone into November for the first time since 2001.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't mind that MLB and the networks made less money for fewer games.

There is only one Mr. November.
