True, but .....ha, this is why it could drive you crazy......Michael Cain only ever appeared in Cobb's real life and not his dreams....I think......

I finally watched this Saturday evening....I had it on the DVR since June I think but waited for the right time to watch, wife out and son sleeping.......what a mindfuck it is, it really does demand your attention and even then it's all over the place at times......the whole concept though is crazy but once they explained what they were going to try and do I was on board........the ending, wow......the top falls right?, Michael Cain being there is proof no?

I just can't fathom how the Cardinals are here, of course the Brewers were just awful but it's not like the Cardinals starting pitching was good here, some respect here for LaRussa and his staff for guiding them.

Texas

I hope they win it all now, I just can't comprehend that the Cardinals could be WS winners ....if they get through their semis that is.

Dotel is ageless , looked great there.

Heyman with some negative Mets reports, shocker.

Randy Wolf eh? Enjoying the AL tilt more than this....

Apologies, didn't notice it was postseason.

Is it any wonder Pete Flynn hung around for forty + years?

Where is that coming from? http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/beltrca01.shtml

WOW, get this , John Henry's first significant appointment as Liverpool FC owner was to hire a "director of football" guy on advice from Billy Beane....Daniel Comolli was previously in the same job at Tottenham, DoF in England is still seen as a new thing, more a continental approach......but Billy Beane advised him? Fenway's significant first move was to appoint Comolli, the former director of football at Tottenham, into a similar position at Anfield, working with Roy Hodgson, the manager, who Fenway would replace with Dalglish in January. Henry confirmed there had been no wider recruitment process for this most plum of jobs; Comolli was appointed following the recommendation of Billy Beane, the former general manager of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, with whom Comolli had struck up a friendship. "Billy became passionate about the Premier League and he became my initial adviser about the football side of Liverpool," Henry recalled. "Billy was adamant � 'There is one person who you have to hire � Damien Comolli. He has the same philosophy Theo [Epstein, the Red Sox general manager], you and I share.'" http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/oct/13/john-w-henry-liverpool-boston

Future manager right there is Wally.

Ugh, awful, and really, who the fuck is Rob Parker? Couldn't get past the headlines and first paragraph in each, so predictable.

I guess one worry going forward for him when he gets back is the pressure exerted from swinging the bat?, as Phillies go I like Howard , seems like a decent sort, all the best to him.

I guess at some point every manager loses the club house right?, 7/8 years is a long time in management these days.John Henry is now abroad in Liverpool trying to break the current TV deal......and getting zero support from other clubs, this after he admits in an interview that he had no clue who Liverpool FC were , but yeah had heard of Man United. Alex Ferguson talks a lot about keeping the club house, and over the years he has gotten rid of players no matter who they were that were seeing to be a threat to his power....England captains, Ireland captains....Dutch greats...

WOW, pop fly deep-ish to RF and Cruz guns down Miggi at the plate and it wan't even close..what an arm. Miggi of course is slower than a wet week in Ireland.

Didn't like that walk, gotta trust Adams there.
