I noticed that part too.

T 1-10 T40 Blake Barmore pass complete to Shawn Thompson for 16 yards to the MSPS44,
Riley Curry for 44 yards to the MSPS0, 1ST DOWN TRINITY, TOUCHDOWN,
clock 00:00.

I withdraw my Joe Rosenthal/Iwo Jima accusation.

Doesn't everybody read while sports highlight shows are on? (In my case it was Clifford D. Simak's "Way Station," a wonderful 1971 story I'd never found before.)

No need to answer that.

But you never know when you'll see history. Just ask Trinity College!

If it were a DI game, the NCAA would probably go back and give every player who touched the ball receiving yards. But I think at one point, Trinity was behind the line of scrimmage.

2006 St. Louis 4, Detroit 1
2005 Chi. White Sox 4, Houston 0
2004 Boston 4, St. Louis 0
2003 Florida 4, NY Yankees 2
2002 Anaheim 4, San Francisco 3
2001 Arizona 4, NY Yankees 3
2000 NY Yankees 4, NY Mets 1

Those are the results of the World Series so far in the 21st century. Three were competitive (2001, 2002, 2003), four were not. It looks like 2007 is going to fall into the latter category too.

Then I added a cuss word which I'll refrain from putting in here.

My favorite part of the night was right after rookie Ellsbury got his 4th hit and rookie Pedroia followed with a double and then Buck said "Experience and Depth" is what is winning the series for Boston.

If LaRoche and Longoria both win the starting 3rd base job for their respective teams in 2008, they would probably be the odds on favorites for ROY in their respective leagues.

In the HWB league, Josh Bell is stinking it up. On the bright side Steve Johnson is pitching great and DeWitt is hitting. They may be the only bright spots of all the players in the fall leagues. Orenduff is actually doing okay but he's not pitching much.

Apparently, that keeps the Boston clubhouse happy.

It is kinda impressive how well the junkballers did during the post season. Doug Davis, Josh Fogg, Livan Hernandez, and Paul Byrd all had at least a win or a no decision.

It's like bunting. Most of the time, laterals are a stupid idea, but used at the right time, it's brilliant.

Donnie Baseball for Dodger bench coach?

I was about to ask if anyone on the Dodgers had current or former ties to Mattingly.......................and then I remembered we have Preston. That would certainly be an interesting angle. I definitely think that Girardi will get the Yankee job.

(Rhodes College, class of '01)

1 It was real; no one is that good an actor on dub. When I saw it last night on ESPN, I thought it was radio play-by-play dubbed on to game film. Either way, an unbelievable play.

I think Colorado has had a great season, no matter what the outcome of this World Series.

I have a very bad feeling about the Dodgers for 2008. Extremely bad feeling. Is this justified?

Before he was the Yankee's bench coach Mattingly was the Yankee's batting coach. We have an opening for a hitting coach. So I'm starting a rumor right now that Mattingly will be the next Dodgers hitting coach. You can say I heard it from someone who heard it from someone who is on the inside but doesn't want to be identified because the Dodgers are waiting for the World Series to end.

He might just go back to Indiana if someone else gets the job.

Cashman is said to want Girardi, while George wants Don.

I've been lurking lately for reasons I'll explain later.
