0-0 bottom 2nd.

Ben Sheets: Baton Rouge native.

What's the M.O. on him.

Why no LSU?

Ichiro is just nasty.

I assume you talking about the fielding, spin and throwing of a strike from the wall in right to the 2nd baseman?

haha, yeah.

The NL will choke this away.

outside of Lidge (cringes) and Wagner (cringes again) do they have any closers?

I have always had an issue with this game and I'll tell you what it is.... The starters are all out of the game in crunch time.

If they want everyone to play, that's fine, I guess, but they should start the reserves and let them have their fun from the 1-4 innings so the best players can actually be in the game in the most critical ABs later.

Who do you want to see with the bases loaded in a 1-run game? Ryan Ludwick or Albert Pujols

It is a stupid game. Either play it with the guys you want in there or dont make it count towards anything.

Or just make it not count towards home field anyways.

I hope there's a tie and no one gets homefield advantage. They'd have to play a true "world" series in Tokyo, London, and Mexico City

i believe tirk and i were discussing mclouth earlier this year. granted i am no follower of marginal baseball players but the guy has really broken out this year to me. dude seems legit.

what a game with the throw, etc...

the double play by rivera, etc...

great ball game.
