World Series Game Two Open Thread

SAN FRANCISCO - OCTOBER 27:   Cliff Lee #33 of the Texas Rangers pitches to Ian Kinsler #5 of the San Francisco Giants in Game One of the 2010 MLB World Series at AT&T Park on October 27 2010 in San Francisco California.  (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

I was a little disappointed to see Cliff Lee's postseason invincibility spoiled so dramatically, or maybe undramatically—I believe very firmly in the uselessness of the average small sample size, but that doesn't mean that baseball isn't more fun when they're around. Mariano Rivera isn't really a 0.71 ERA pitcher in the postseason, but baseball's better for the fact that right now he appears to be one. Cody Ross hasn't participated in an incredibly dangerous possession ritual with Barry Bonds, but my hope is that when the World Series is over it still looks like he has. 

I was reminded while it was happening of game one of the 2004 World Series, but looking back at it that one was considerably wilder, and closer—and sloppier from the very beginning. This one was always a little off, but it seemed for a while like it would be a game played within our reasonable expectations of a Lee/Lincecum matchup. 

The Giants have the pitching advantage in game two—C.J. Wilson at Matt Cain—and another win could make this series's resemblance to the 2004 debacle a little more depressing. 

Also, I just want to mention it while it's still true: Mark Lowe, a late addition to the Rangers' series roster, now has a career Rangers ERA of 17.18. One reason to hope the Rangers come back and win this: So that, decades from now, when Lowe's grandkids ask him about his championship ring, he has to lie about it.

He must be getting manic again or something

Bonds always seemed kind of weird and awkward to me, but he seems surprisingly public right now.
Anyway, it’s hard for me to resist the powerful cultural urge to hate Barry Bonds. I can’t say I really like the guy. But, I also sometimes wonder if he really deserves 100% of the hate. In a way he is just the most effective cheater during an era of rampant cheating. This is probably largely due to the fact that he was already the best player of an entire generation.
Part of me even wants to like him because he was so damn good.

True

Maybe it’s going a little too far for me to say he “doesn’t seem like a good person”. He does seem like a jerk, though.

I wonder if he was on ’roids, how much lower he would have been. when you are hitting that many home runs your walk rate is going to go up exponentially.

that said, there’s no question he had one of the best plate disciplines, and he was just all around a great player. dude should go into the HOF, but I wonder if they will make a stink about it.

and he made damn sure everyone knew it. what most people don’t realize is he wanted, no he needed everyone to hate him. he relished in it. for it was their hate that drove him to be the best & rub it in their faces. yes he was the biggest arrogant & cocky sob of his time. and i would have given anything to be just like him for one day.

whats crazy is he didn't need the riods, just just needed the attention they brought him

he was jealous of the Big Macs of the world for their HR numbers, all the while he was playing in obscurity out by the Bay, just being the best damn player of his generation. so what did he do? he hit the gym & the needle & transformed himself into the second coming of Babe F Ruth.

i think that’s why so many in the media hate the guy. it’s not because he was a ass to them, because most athletes are. its the fact he was already a HOF, but that wasn’t good enough because for him because he wasn’t getting the attention he felt he deserved.

I'm not sure if that quote is from an interview or what

not sure what you meant by changeability.

btw, there’s a documentary about this lady that had one of his pieces, but she had a very difficult time getting it authenticated, since there were a ton of imitators after he made his big splash. eventually it did end up being a piece of his, I think she bought it at a dive bar that Pollock used to frequent.

changeability

it is pretty clear to me anyway that he went into the creative process with at best a general vision without specific aims… which is fine of course, but I don’t think anyone who would want to develop an opinion about any painting wouldn’t see that right away.

your technique would likely be different as well.

basically a lot of modern art was created by the inception of photography, and by a need to break away from representational artforms. mostly they are explorations in technique and overall feel.

danup your opening paragraph on playoffs

makes me think you should crown the ws champ based on best overall league record

there’s still a difference between a ’97 marlins ss hitting a single up the middle and and a ’10 cardinals ss hitting a single up the middle…. those adrenaline filled stats will always mean somethin

i still think rangers are gonna roll the next 4 games…plz!

Just watched a screening of "Blue Valentine" starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams

Very, very good story about the rise and fall of a marriage. It’s essentially just a look into 2 days into their lives together, with flashbacks to the good days.

Now, time to party.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'

did you all know the PD wrote a book about Stan?

you can buy it here & read an excerpt from it here

i really want this book. looks like great addition to any Cardinal collection.

and yes, i’m totally stealing from Goold’s Bird Land, but go read it, especially the last part about Mickey & Stan playing together. Oh what might have been,,,,,,,,
