World Series: Pregame
World Series: Pregame
Well, plans for Game 1 of the Series fell through. That sucks. Because they have one of those supercool plasma screen HDTV's.
But they're Cardinal fans, so maybe it's not all bad....
Live blogging it? Don't do it much....
Maybe a little:
Just watching the pregame show.
I hate Fox, by the way. Getting to the roster introductions right in the middle. At least they didn't miss the whole thing.
It's a small thing, but I always enjoy that part of it, the roster introductions along the basepaths. I like putting a face with the dramatis personae.
Man. I'd give a nut to be at Fenway tonight.
In having the Red Sox in the Series, it's nice to have a team in the Series that I care about, rather than just rooting against somebody, which has been the case more often than not.
And I'll second the notion that I saw at Steve Silver's. Boston and St. Louis are two of the best (if they aren't the best two) baseball towns in America. It's nice to have the Series in a couple of towns where the fans live and breathe their teams. Where you can run across old timers who've been lifelong fans of their teams, dating back to the 20's, like the couple of fellers Fox had on before the game (that was a thoughtful touch on Fox's part). A life long fan of the Marlins or the Diamondbacks just doesn't have the same ring as somebody saying they're a lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox, or the St. Louis Cardinals.
And don't get me wrong. Don't think that I'm getting all sentimental about the Cardinals. I still hate them. Not as much as I hate the Yankees. But it's close. Still, I gotta give the devil that is their fans their due. They're passionate, and they're loyal.
Steven Tyler is spooky looking. And he seems to be channeling a little bit of Joe Cocker, tonight, as he performs the Star Spangled Banner.
