I can’t believe Kyle Lohse was just at the plate in the 10th inning of a World Series game with the Cardinals down two. If that bunt had sailed about a foot to the right, the game would have ended on a triple play. ---

Why do I get the feeling that if I go to bed now, I’ll wake up in the morning to find out that it’s tied at 62 in the 38th inning? ---

Yahoo Sports had a story about a guy who has a $250 bet on the Cards to win the series at 999:1 odds, placed in mid-Sept. I can only imagine the stress on that dude’s heart in the last hour or so. ---

It’s a weird thing about baseball that if you’re a neutral observer, some of the most compelling games are the ones that are the most terribly played. ---
