If you’re like me, Game 5 of the World Series last night
played out more like a David Lynch film than an actual baseball game. To wit:
·
FOX interviewing Derek Holland for a whole inning
as he did an impression of Will Ferrell doing an impression of Harry Caray
·
Adrian Beltre actually earning a paycheck instead
of phoning it in like he did for four seasons as a Mariner*
·
Albert Pujols hanging Allen Craig out to dry twice.
I get that Pujols was walked three times and might not be in a rhythm, but man,
put the bat on the ball
·
LaRussa pulling Rzepczynski for Lynn, having Lynn
intentionally walk the next batter and then pulling Lynn for Motte. Did Tony get
his bearded pitchers mixed up?
*Yes, I’m still bitter about this. Shame on the M’s for
signing him to a large contract after one allegedly steroid-fueled
contract-year season
