As a Red Sox and a Giants fan... this trade interests me on both my teams....Time will tell.

That is a very unique combination, I must say. If they were to ever meet in the World Series (talk about fantasyland) who would you root for?

So what did everybody think of last night's games?

Yankees/Orioles - I love how everybody is suddenly back on the Yankees bandwagon. They had 2 good hits. If you watch the rest of the game the Yankees could do absolutely NOTHING against the Orioles pitching. Hopefully the O's can put together a full game today.

A's/Tigers - Wow. Being out here on the Left Coast we've seen the A's totally defy odds this season and even though I like the Angels it's been very impressive to see. They are going to have a tough time with Verlander tonight but since the game is in Oakland and not Detroit they certainly have a chance.

Cardinals/Nationals - Don't even know what to say about what they will be calling the "Borras Curse" in Washington for the next 80 years. I'm not going to go as far to say the Nationals would have won if Strasburg was pitching but I think we'd be looking at a much different series. Just sad for the other guys on the team to work their A$$ off all season and have an agent and GM have so much control over a particular player.

Giants/Reds - I thought the Giants were done for. Wished the Giants were done for. Hope they are done for today. A home team has to win at least one game this series right?

As a baseball fan I make it a priority to watch the World Series every year. But I'm going to say it now ... if it's Giants/Yankees in the WS I won't be watching.

One last thing ... I work from home and I absolutely love it. But there is no better time to be working from home each year than during the baseball divisional series and the NCAA Tourney. So nice to have my TV positioned so I can see it from my office.

I'll just ignore that Giants game from earlier and go straight to ...

WOW!!! What an absolutely amazing final at-bat from Jason Werth. 13 pitches, a whole bunch of foul balls and that gives you the walk-off HR. Game 5 tomorrow.

What's up at Yankee Stadium? Scads of empty seats for a 5th and deciding game of the ALDS. I heard an unofficial report that there were ten thousand seats available five hours before game time. Unheard of.

That wouldn't happen at Wrigley Field, or Sox Park.

Yankee Fans are getting as sick of their team as everybody else is.

Any chance the Tigers might have had in this World Series may have gone up in smoke with the bonehead decision to send Prince Fielder all the way home in the second inning with no outs yesterday. Of course, with the way Posey blocks the plate (not exactly the Mike Sciosia method) Fielder would have scored anyway with a decent slide.

Yeah not sure why they sent fielder home he could have been on 3rd with no outs. They told Posey to not block the plate anymore after his injury last year. They told him to perfect the swipe tag.

What an absolutely boring World Series.

The League Championship series games were fairly onesided too. Rgardless of who won, after a very promising first round the rest of the postseason wasn't very good.
