A week full of baseball and not a single cover that features a hit, a throw, anything on the field, save a capture of Doc from the 1980s. BOOOOOOO These reaction shots, happy or sad, are not sports photo journalism. And they all bore me.
Nice, I am the first voter of the year! I'm like those losers in New Hampshire. As I do every year, I will vote almost exclusively based on a quality action photo. Headlines are almost all stupid.
I watched the 7 minute recap on MLB's web site this morning, primarily to watch their collapse. Totally self-induced which of course makes it better. Judge's flub. A bad choice by the SS to try and get the force at 3B. Cole not covering. I also can appreciate a team that ultimately wins a title by getting two key sac flies to tie the game + take the lead. That's really how you win most of the time, not in a sexy way but by producing runs as you're able. And not leaving those scoring chances on the table. I did turn off the recap after the last strike. I still ain't about watching any non Mets team celebrate a WS win.
My wife participates in a Wednesday night trivia league at a local brew pub with her coworkers. I rarely attend because I don't like to drink late on a weeknight and I find most of the bar trivia to be dull - questions are all in the "you know it or you don't" category as a rule and don't provoke much thought, and I've ignored the better part of the last 15 years of popular music, TV and movies. But she asked me nicely if I'd go with her yesterday, so I consented. Didn't that also mean the MFYs would be showing on two giant fucking TV's and that the place would erupt each time they scored? Which they did repeatedly while we were there? Ugh. I came home and went to bed fully expecting a game 6 and return trip to Cali. So a pleasant surprise to wake up and find out they lost lol
