Will the chat room be open tonight!?!?

Nothing interesting coming out of Boston??? Really? Rumors of drinking beer in the clubhouse/dugout during a game.
American League MVP. I vote for Granderson.

Hey. It was in a Gatorade cup. That makes the beer a sports drink. Beer's gotta have some electrolytes. Right?

Only the third time ever in World Series play that a team has trailed 1-0 entering the ninth inning and won the game. EVER!!

That's not quite as big a surprise as I originally thought, tho. The first time I saw the stat, I thought it said 3rd team to win after trailing entering the 9th. And I didn't really think that could be right. But trailing specifically by a score of 1-0 entering the 9th. There probably haven't been all that many games that were 1-0 entering the ninth to begin with.

Anyway, Series tied, I'm happy to say. Of teams that won Game 2 to even the Series, 29 of 54 have gone on to win -- but just two of the last seven, the 2002 Angels and the 2009 Yankees. So there's a better than 50% chance of a Texas win!

I have to say that I was rooting really hard for the Rangers, so I'm a little disappointed by the result. But it really was a fantastic World Series. Game 6 was just unbelievable. (How do you blow 3 separate save opportunities in one game?!?!?) The bullpen screw-up in Game 5. Pujols just blowin' up in Game 3.

I've heard some commentators call it the best World Series ever, but I still remember the '91 Series and that one may still get my vote for best of my lifetime. ('75 was great, too.)

Now, I'm faced with the prospect of Theo and Francona teaming up again in Chicago. But no way am I becoming a Cubs fan. I've done my 86 years in Purgatory, thank you very much.

(There's also talk of Francona replacing LaRussa. But if I had to bet, I'd say they go with Jose Oquendo, who has been the 3rd base coach there since 2000, for continuity's -- that means "Albert Pujols' " -- sake.)
