Where music goes to die -- and other Series observations

[sigma7]

Singers at the St. Louis games of the World Series: Martina McBride, Amy Grant, some country music thing I've never heard of and Scott "Messiah Complex" Stapp. WTF? Was Devo booked? Is St. Louis being blacklisted by musicians for some reason? Give me James Taylor and Steven Tyler any day of the week. Based on that and that alone, Boston should've won the series in four games. And actually, you should just give the Rams back to L.A. for this atrocity.

I really like watching Johnny "Unfrozen Caveman Center Fielder" Damon. This man enjoys the game and knows exactly where and how to put the ball in play.

Most dangerous man to the BoSox is Manny Ramirez when he's wearing his glove.

Tony LaRussa deserves better than this series. So do Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker and Albert Pujols. Every major break has fallen Boston's way and done so early -- the Cards just haven't been able to keep pace. And playing game 4 under a total lunar eclipse -- c'mon, Theo Epstein, did you sell your soul for this night or what? How many virgins' blood did it take to distill the unholy pine tar anointing Boston's chosen people?

Also Bruins, Celtics -- your turn now.

Bill f'in Buckner: forgiven.

ETA: Manny Ramirez MVP? Sigh. Okay, one good throw from the outfield, granted, but c'mon.

And the new Nike ad. Sweet.
