I bet one of those Medal of Honor recipients could have done a better job.
Just get a band out there and play it. Let the audience sing along.

On the bright side, the planes coming over my brother’s house here in Reading reminded me it was time to turn on the TV. After a brief period of wondering if I had 2 seconds left to live.

I’m trying to think of a worse looking defense in the first two innings and I’m having a hard time coming up with anything. And how was that a hit and not E1?

I can’t decide how much of this is Wainwright and how much is the infield. This is just terribly sloppy.

Did the Cards grease their mitts with butter?

This is painful! Did somebody spike the Cardinals’ Gatorade?

Man, if Beltran had missed that, I was going to head on to bed.

Cards better hope Beltran’s not out for the Series. Saving a grand slam wouldn’t be worth it.

I had the exact same reaction here in Somerville - my fiance and I looked at each other with a bit of horror and then it dawned on me and we turned on the game.
