    Great news. The radio in my latest vehicle can't get the Buffalo station (1520 AM) that used to carry their games. My ride home late at night on Rte 684 was perfect signal skip distance to pick up that station. Later

Bauer has never gone on three days rest. The catchphrase here in Cleveland is "In Tito We Trust", but I'm not feeling great about this. I kept hearing the Indians say, "Don't worry. Bauer is a horse. He can do it". Well, if he is, he performed like the kind of nag that looked destined for the glue factory. You have to overcome situations that aren't your fault. I just hope Cleveland can win this tonight in front of all those cretins in YS III. I don't want to take a chance that the MFYs can get lucky in a game 5. Later

    10-3 is the final. I never thought I would be able to use the word "final". The game seemed like it was going to go on forever. Later

    I know. The flashback got me. Totally unexpected. Later

Being a GM is like being Trump, I guess. Yes. But he'd be terrible in our rock and roll threads. He thinks Purple Rain means the hookers were drinking grape juice. Later

You owe me a new keyboard. Or at least another cup of coffee. But you'll have the same reaction when you notice my Ted Turner vote. Later

    If I were doing the interviewing (OK, I can dream, can't I?) the first question would be "describe your toughest loss". If the answer contained any flavor of "we battled", my next comment would be, "Next!" Then, when I ask what they would expect from their players, the key words I'd listen for would be "fundamentals", "Heads-up", "opportunistic" and "Productive outs". That would at least get them to the second round of interviews. Later

And his 1960 team beat the MFYs in the World Series, too. Later

    That turncoat Lee Mazzilli should never have the honor of wearing the Mets uniform ever again. Later

    Why is Mr. Incompetent (Angel Hernandez) umpiring a playoff game? I recall that he was rated the third worst umpire in the majors. There were higher rated options. Later

    I'm not sure if given a vote, the relief pitchers would vote for LaRussa. BTW, I wonder what Jerry Dybzinski is doing these days. Later

    JD Martinez hit 29 homers in 62 games after joining Arizona mid year!!! According to ESPN radio, he hit 16 home runs in September, which tied the all time National League record held by ........... wait for it...... Ralph Kiner. Later

    When Frank Cashen joined the Mets, I remember reading that when he was with Baltimore, he instituted a "playbook" - a procedure manual for how things were to be uniformly taught at every level of the organization. It included how to react in situations on offense and defense. This reduced the need for players to learn new systems as they were promoted through the system to the majors. By the time they reached the majors, things would be second nature to them and they were prepared to do things the right way. Cashen did the same thing when he joined the Mets, down to the detail of having the dimensions of all the team's minor league ballparks modified to conform to those at Shea Stadium (where it was possible). And the Cardinals have had a similar process for years. Maybe someone should find and dust off that manual and implement it again. Later

    They only played .500 ball or better in one month (June?) and they were 14-14. Later

    Can't wait for group B. If I had to pick one, Vukovich. But only if I HAD to pick one. Later
