Cole Hamels is lights-out, regardless of that private school haircut. Game 1 turned out to be a true pitcher’s duel, this format favors the Rays in the long run. Tampa sends James Shields and Matt Garza to the hill in the next two games. Philly counters with a wife beater and a 45 year old. Longoria and Upton have to get their bats going if Tampa is going to contend here.
What the hell is with Fox World Series coverage? They kicked off their broadcast with some montage about baseball during times of war. Eat shit. The field was adorned with humongous American flags and the fucking Backstreet Boys crooning “The Star Spangled Banner”.
So Kyle Wellwood returned from the all-you-can-eat buffet and put up a couple of points. This guy is a milkbag, and apparently doesn’t have much interest in doing anything. He’s not the only former Toronto Maple Leaf doing nothing. Leave Mats Sundin out of this, he appeared in an ad for PokerStars.net. He’s not holding out for a contract with a contender, he’s just bluffing. Seriously, what is with the Leafs and attracting lazy fat-asses? Jason Allison, Jeff O’Neill, John Kordic; the list could go on. Mats had a physical at a Toronto hospital, and yes, that captures headlines in my city. I love Sean Avery. More entertainer than hockey player, remember him calling Martin Brodeur “fatso”?
