Ended up 13-3. Denver stays near their average and Oakland beats the spread.

Unfortunately, the spread might be the only thing the Raiders (2nd favorite team) beats.

Carlos Delgado had 5 RBIs last night, giving him 9 for the LCS. That ties him for the Mets' team record for most RBIs in an entire series. And there are still at least 2 more games to go!

I gotta go to bed. But the Cardinals have this one all wrapped up now, I think. Of course, that's what I thought about the other Cardinals last night when I went to bed. . .

Unless you see Urlacher pinch-hitting...

Reyes is still in there for the ninth. If he finishes it out, he'll be the first rookie since '83 to throw a complete game in the WS. That was Mike Boddiker.

Oops!! HR to start the ninth. He gone!

Cards really dominated. Under 3 hours, too. Leyland will get them straightened out for Game 2.

Game 2, bottom of the first: Big BIG fly from Monroe. Good start, but didn't it start the same way last night? Better finish tonight, I hope.

What's with Polanco's ski cap? I bet everybody else in the dugout makes fun of him for it.

Nice catch by Monroe to end the 2nd! He's fun to watch. Looks like Kenny Rogers got caught cheating!!

I'm sure it was just tobacco juice.

Can you imagine how quickly Gaylord Perry's career would've ended if these cameras were around back then?

A little hairy in the ninth inning. Jones gives up a run, and Molina gets to the plate, but holds on to tie up the Series at 1-1.

Perry often claimed, after he retired, that the rumors about him cheating were mostly just rumors. He never disputed them, and even encouraged them, simply for the psychological effect on hitters. Who knows?

I was a little baffled when Leyland said later that he didn't know the ump had talked to Rogers. Is that how they do it? Don't say anything to the head coach, errr, I mean manager?

Yup, I'd say so too. He claims it's dirt, however whenever they show two previous pictures from the ALDS and the ALCS with the same looking substance on the same spot, it's a little fishy.

Since he wasn't ejected, I doubt anyhting happens to him. But, it could be interesting come tomorrow. Time will tell.

Cardinals had a few chances and for only having a few and only getting beat by two runs, I've got to be somewhat happy with that. Back at it Tuesday!

Nope, never happen.
