Around Baseball - 2013 Postseason GDT Edition

So how is tomorrow night's game going to end. Unbelievable.

Carlos Beltran will come up with the bases loaded with the Cards down by 3 in the bottom of the 9th and he will hit a pop fly to left and a meteor will come out of the sky and redirect it over the fence for a game winning home run. ESPN will then spend an hour post game praising Beltran's clutchiness in hitting the ball just right into the meteors path and tell us that the Cards specifically worked on it before game.

And given that it's the Cardinals, no one should bat an eyelid at the bizarrness of the event. After the last half decade or so, I'm convinced the Cardinals are a real life version of the "Angels in the Outfield" Angels. God himself saw the movie 20 years ago, was amused, and decided to actually give it a shot in real life...the Cardinals were his team of choice. All we need for confirmation is some kid to emerge from the Cardinals dugout at some point late in a close game and start flapping his arms.
 
I am just glad the Cards arent winning. Atleast with the Red Sox winning I know out there somewhere there are a whole bunch of pissed off Yankee fans. I bet the Fox announcers call Koji Uehara the best closer in the game in this last inning.
 
Not much of a Red Sox fan, but there really isn't a place that capture the magic of baseball better than Fenway Park.

Congrats to Rossy!!
 
I know he got a lot of negative comments over the years, but I do have to wish Tim McCarver a happy retirement. He did bring a lot of knowledge to the broadcast booth. That was an outstanding tribute to him Fox did to wrap up their coverage.

Have a great retirement Tim.
 
My Twitter timeline was just awesome to read tonight. I like my friends, but seeing them meltdown and freakout was a treat, because they're your typical douchey, arrogant Cardinals fans.
 
Weird, for a bunch of high energy guys, that on-field celebration after the strikeout was rather dull. Just random hugs, no dogpile or jumping up and down really.

Not to mention I've seen more exciting crowds after a World Series clinch.

It was a foregone conclusion after the 4th inning. For such an exciting series, it ended without drama.
