Strickland looks like an idiot regardless, but if he actually said "Get back in the dugout boy" - which is basically what I thought at the time, and what I've since read - man, fuck him. Whatever. 5 game series now.

Tech N9ne should just come to tonight's game in full concert garb, rather than the more subdued all black he opted for in the above picture. That would distract from the distraction.

Well that sucked. I hear we get to play again tomorrow though, and allegedly Bumgarner won't pitch? That would be cool.

(Still not sure this is reality.)

The Royals were tonight's most over face. Post show, Cena said he hopes the Royals sweep the Giants. Given San Francisco's adoption of the YES chant, I'm not sure I like where this is going.

For the pick play to work, the receiver has to at least pretend he's running a route. Then, "Whoops, what's this defensive back doing here? Oh, sorry sir, move right along. What's that? I seem to have impeded you, regarding your pursuit of that receiver? Terribly sorry once again. My mistake." You can't just straight up block the guy, hands on the chest and everything. The play call was fine, but the execution was poor. Still, fuck Jameis, Jimbo, and the legion of enablers.

Yeah, a shame Jeter has to end without another World Series. He - and the Yankees - really don't have enough. Hard luck team, historically.

For you, Cardinal's fans. As for the series... I have to imagine we're going to lose a game at some point, right? That's probably going to happen. But hopefully not four games. #analysis

World Series result, spoilered if you want to wait and see what happens:

Baseball! I have no words so here is this:

Guthrie, doing his part.

Rationally, I think it's basically impossible to sweep a team that has Bumgarner. Especially considering that our best power bats are all lefties. However, everything I know is a lie, and reality a myth. The Royals will never lose again. Anything is possible. Kevin Garnett told me.

I basically assume the Royals will win every game no matter what now. I don't know this world.

I'm now oddly disappointed not to have been involved in this.

Game gave us this, no however ugly it may otherwise be.

Wait... is this what a "hater" is? Taylor Swift, your words now speak to me with added depth and sincerity. You're a true poet. But I digress, and will indeed shake it off. ROYALS WIN FOREVER

ROYALS WIN FOREVER. I have no idea what to make of this but it's the best thing there is. Just giddy.

Another poster was actually commissioned before the start of the season. 350 years before the start of the season. It's ok everyone... we'll save you all.

My two direct department heads at work are Cardinals and Giants fans, respectively. They already basically hate each other so this should be fun.

I'm all for a "one last run" push built around Mutoh getting some sort of experimental bionic knee replacement surgery, and hitting loaded shining wizards with his new souped up kneecaps. (I know this isn't really the thread for 90's puro legend fantasy booking. But I'm firmly on team "doesn't give half a shit about Corbin", so, yeah.)

We on the other side of the state (and I, happily across the state line entirely - not that my state is without shameful idiocy) are happy to accept band wagoners. Just sayin'.

So in a couple years, it'll take five to finish a match?

I'd spend a paycheck to see Nakamura/Ambrose. BUT I need a pre match press conference too.

I hate Derek Jeter. I like Dean Ambrose. That's all.
