Want to know who "the machine" is?

Two feeds -- Fox with sound, ESPN America with sound -- went away, but a third -- ESPN America without sound (and close to a minute ahead of ESPN Radio) hung in there.

The real question: is Wilson's friend a machine... or is he a "Bat"man?

(This is a FAR more interesting World Series just for his being involved.)

Tom and Nancy Seaver, making like Journey and going separate ways...in terms of whom they're rooting for in this World Series and where they're watching it. Only Marty Noble...

Perversely Inspired by Marty's somewhat twisted lede (though it always helps to read the entire sentence).

Great MLB.com headline from last night:

Ten-gallon splat: SF knocks Texas off a Cliff

[Frayed Knot]

Game 2: Cain vs Abel (or maybe Wilson)

Vlad and tubby Molina not in the lineup for Texas
Murphy in for Vlad, Treanor in for Molina

Washington refuses to say that Vlad sitting is on account of the defense last night ... but it sounds like it's about the defense last night.

[G-Fafif]

Game looks good through two innings...and first feed linked to. I swear I'm living in the age of pirate radio stations.

[G-Fafif]

...and there it goes. Trying feed No. 2.

[G-Fafif]

Feed No. 3 brings Matt Cain's base hit to light.

He's still a dick for tipping his cap at Citi Field.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

But that's part of the thrill, isn't it?

C. J. Wilson desperately needs to trim those sideburns-- it's like a toddler smeared chocolate on his cheekbone.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

These don't exactly qualify as scoring threats, do they? ("Vague scoring gestures?")

[Gwreck]

Todd Zeile redux there with Kinsler's ball hitting directly on top of the wall and then coming back into play.

[Ceetar]

About his "leadoff hitter should filibuster so the pitcher has more time to get ready" stuff..is it really necessary? The next inning doesn't start until the pitcher is ready, walks out there, and throws 8 pitches anyway. Not like the ump is gonna yank the guy out of the dugout while he's putting his helmet away or anything.

Dick Young is preparing an article for tomorrow's paper where he claims to have insider info that Nancy is only rooting for the Giants because she hates Ruth Ryan.

My apologies if this got posted already, but it's worth sharing.

Lord, this is brilliant. Thanks for the link.

"The worst thing about this World Series is that with the outstanding ability of the Giants and Rangers to hit, run, and field, and with no real asshole to root against, it just feels like a celebration of baseball," Paul Rockwell of Uniontown, PA told reporters. "And that sucks. Do you know why that sucks? Because I'm a horrible, shallow person, and while I like to think of myself as a fan, I only get off on storylines and personalities completely unrelated to the game itself."

[Ceetar]

Isn't Jeter getting married soon? I'm surprised they haven't managed to bring that up a lot.

[ashie62]

The worst thing about this world series is that I will not see one inning of it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Matt Cain is bucking to tie a scoreless-innings streak... held by Christy Mathewson.

I think my brain just melted.

[G-Fafif]

Walkers...Texas Rangers.

Like I always say, Suzyn, you just can't figure out baseball!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Frenchy's gonna get up in the pen.

Like who would have picked the Giants for 20 runs (and counting) in the first two games.
Their over/under for runs scored in the entire series might have not been 20.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, when you hire Frank Zappa as your pitching coach, you're going to get some uneven performances. (Even if some of them are groundbreaking.)

[G-Fafif]

...and that's what happens when you wait too long to use Frenchy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Matt Cain looks like Andy Messersmith, I think.
