More disturbing than seeing an Albert Pujols close up in HD (replete with larger-than-life cold sores), watching the Cardinals win the World Series was painful. Had they made the playoffs, I doubt the Reds pitching staff would have hurt them much after seeing the games this post-season.
At least Sean Casey played well for the Tigers. I’m sure that’s little consolation for him at this moment. It was great seeing his familiar sluggy swing get some hits and at least make the Tigers look like they weren’t napping the whole time.
The best quote of the postseason came from my wife who was doing some work at her laptop with baseball on in the background. Fox was doing its intro for World Series game 4 and I said to my wife that I wondered if two of our friends, diehard Red Birds fans (and coincidentally lesbians at that) who lived an hour away from St. Louis were at the game. Half-paying attention, she asked where the game was being played. Joe Buck answered as part of the intro, “…tonight at Busch Stadium.” My wife said, “Busch Stadium? Yeah, I’m sure that’s where (our friends) are.” I guess you had to be there.
I kept waiting for this World Series to turn into the book the “Tigers’ Revenge,” by Claude Balls. Instead, it was “Twick or Tweet” as the Cardinals won with surprising ease. Okay, I couldn’t come up with a good pun for the Cardinals. I’m kinda glad this baseball season is over. The Tigers embodied what the Reds were to me this year. They came out of nowhere, started with great promise and folded late. Defense let them down and most of their hitters were lost during the series, letting what otherwise would have been good or great pitching go to waste. Let’s wipe the slate clean and start over.
