Fear and Loathing in St. Louis

tumblr_mvdx3tP2Ri1qe0lqqo1_500

This is the fear and loathing Whirled Serious for Yankee fans.

Gotta figure the Cards need to win tonight, right? They go back to Boston down 3-2 they are going to need a whole lot of Buckner on their side to pull this shit out.

I got no call on the game tonight–but I’m not feeling especially optimistic. Just hoping the Cards find a way.

Never mind the nerves: Let’s Go Red Boids!

Game Three, St. Louie. Says here the Sox take this one.

Hoping I’m wrong.

Never mind nuthin’:

Let’s Go Cards!

Cards look to leave Boston with the Serious tied one-game apiece. The Sox look to continue their postseason run of undisturbed good fortune.

Wacha vs. Lackey.

Never mind those shaggy bastards:

Let’s Go Cards!

Take 2

Well, Game 1 was revolting now, wasn’t it? Cards win tonight and they’ll have taken care of business. But they were shook last night and dammit if this whole postseason doesn’t have a bad vibe about it.

Sox vs. Cards. Nothing to do but root for St. Louis.

Never mind the bitterness:

Let’s Go Card-‘nals!

Here’s an old record I picked up along the way. Thought you guys might dig it.

The Sox are a win away from a trip to the Whirled Serious. Man, I’d love to see a Game 7 here but I think the Sox will do what the Cards did last night: take care of it.

Never mind those damn beards:

Let’s Go Tig-ers!

Kershaw and the Dodgers hope to live another day.

A trip to the Serious is on the line for the Cards. It says here that they find a way to win.

Never mind nuthin’:

Let’s Go Dod-gers!

Swing Time

The ALCS is going back to Boston. Only question is, which team will have a 3-2 lead?

We’re rooting for the Tigers but I think the Sox will win, which means zilch because I always think they’ll win. Worst case scenario. That’s how I operate. So that says the Sox win. (Then again if the Tigers win that just means I think the Sox’ll win the next two at home.)

Just file me under hopeless hater, Red Sox division, American League.

Ah, never mind the angst:

Let’s Go Tig-ers!

But it’s knocking at the door for the Dodgers today.

Hate to say it but I think the Cards will end their season while the Red Sox take a 3-1 lead against the Tigers.

The Kirk Gibson home run turned 25 yesterday. I don’t have anything to add.  Watch it for yourself.

Belly 2 Belly

Couple of games today. First, the Red Sox will beat Justin Verlander in Detroit. Later, the Cards will take a 3-1 NLCS lead in Los Angeles.

Least that’s how I see it.

Never mind me: Let’s Go Base-ball!

Tough loss for the Tigers. They had the Sox where they wanted them. They were poised to take a 2-0 lead. But they failed.

A split on the road is good. Verlander in Game 3 is good. Losing last night: rough.
