19. Congrats to the Red Sox for winning the ALDS, I was rooting for them, but not as much as I was rooting against the Angels. And now I can't help but root for the Indians and Rockies. Both the Sox and D-Backs have won it all recently and, seriously, do you ever expect to see the Rockies in contention for the big prize again? I don't. Maybe they can catch lightning in a bottle, I think they're fans deserve it. Besides, if the WS is played in Colorado, maybe the announcers will stop talking about how manufacturing a run is the key to success and realize that home runs are a much bigger factor. Either way, though, I'm anticipating a very exciting finish to the post season.

18. 17 I am cautiously optimistic. Then again, I didn't really get worried in September. I guess that I'm phlegmatic.

17. 16 : I’m excited to host some more game-chatter Friday night. In fact, I’m ready to start chattering right now about the series. The Indians scare me, much more than they seem to be scaring the Boston media hype-meisters who are ready to anoint the Red Sox (and who, three weeks ago, were burying them). It’s going to be a tough series, I think.

16. 12: That made me laugh out lod

13: Let’s not forget the leisure suit.

Josh, two things:

1. I was reading your Angels-Sox posts and enjoyed them. I’m just not much of a Game Chatterer when the Sox are involved. I can’t multitask like that.

2. I forgot how to reference other posts here.

15. 12 : Maybe this scenario helped inspire Lerrin Lagrow to record the save in the Shorts game. I miss the bullpen car so much and will have to pour out my feelings on the subject before too long. 13 : It was an era where pale, previously hidden parts of everyone were bulging and hanging out everywhere. Beauty and nausea intertwined. 14 : Pure painful poetry.

14. The 70's started out great, by 74 I peaked with a MVP Babe Ruth season, graduated HS 76, and ended the 70's by getting married in 79 because a blow job blew my mind and erased my dreams.

13. I don't think I have ever heard the 70s described better than as the age of embarrassment. Looking back I realize that there were some good things about the 70s, but my general sentiment is "what were people thinking?"

12. I like to imagine the '77 Sox using a Chrysler Cordoba as their bullpen car ... and some unfortunate relief pitcher, en route to the mound, wiggling and screeching as his bare underthighs come into contact with the superhot Corinthian leather. Yeah, once the '70s synapses get firing, most anything's bound to come out.
