Giants 6, Cardinals 1: And we head to Game 7, as the Giants continue to only really want to turn it on this postseason once they’re facing elimination. And of course, as everyone predicted, it happened thanks to a great Ryan Vogelsong start,which followed a great Barry Zito start,which all came while people were hearing […]

WPS takes you through Game Six with a little help from Motown: it’s the same old Vogelsong, but with a different meaning as the series goes long. Game 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F Cardinals 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 Giants 1 4 0 0 0 […]

40,000 days ago, one of the best pitchers in baseball history made his major league debut. On April 19, 1903, Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown pitched in his first big league contest, and it was quite a debut. Pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals, Brown threw a complete-game shutout for a 3-0 win. Yeah, that’s a […]

Every generation has some iconic movies, and today marks a “day-versary” in the life of one of them. Ever seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? It’s one of those films that apparently everyone my age (except me) has seen. Well, it turns out that Ferris Bueller’s day away from school was 10,000 days ago. Oh, there […]

A lot of commentators thought this game would be the end of the NLCS. A lot of commentators will have the opportunity to say the same thing about Sunday’s Game Six. Game 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F Giants 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 5 Cardinals 0 […]

No rain delays this night: just pure baseball. Pure, exciting, down-to-the-wire baseba–sorry, what’s that? Aw, man. Game 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F Yankees 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 Tigers 1 0 1 4 0 0 1 1 X 8 (Tigers win series 4-0) WPS 1 […]

Cardinals 3, Giants 1: Thanks to the 2008 World Series, the regular rules with respect to rain delays are out the window in the postseason, leading to days like we had yesterday, with a rain delay that lasted 20 minutes longer than the actual total game time. Oh, well, given how many ducks the Giants […]

40 years ago today, one of the all-time great managerial stunts occurred. I’m sure it’s happened on other occasions, but this time it happened in a World Series, which helped make it so great. It’s possibly the most famous moment in the Hall of Fame career of A’s manager Dick Williams. Oct. 18, 2012 was […]

The Seattle Mariners weren’t expected to be competitive this season, but they were expecting to have some high-points to build upon. One of main causes of pre-season excitement was the anticipation of Dustin Ackley first full-season in the majors, and the start of a new era of Mariners offense. Fast forward six months, and there […]

When it rains, it pours. Both League Championship Series games encountered rain delays, and the Yankees-Tigers contest became the first postponed game of the 2012 postseason. As I was having flashbacks to those grueling bygone days of 9:30 start times and oh-dark-thirty bedtimes (also known as “last week”), I am not going to complain. Maybe […]
