Or not.

Poo.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I got to fulfill one of those "bucket list" things in 2010 and take my grandson's (and myself) to their first World Series game in 2010. Game 4. I knew plenty about the ragarm was we had going out there (Tommy Hunter). Knew nothing about Bumgarner. After 8 innings of three hit shut out baseball, I'll never forget him. Dude was spectacular. Been a fan ever since.

Estrada is the AL version of Madison Bumgarner.

So that's what it looks like to beat Texas.

Now I just wonder how it feels...

Tribe up 1-0 in Sox series.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Well yeah. MadBum is arguably the greatest playoff pitcher of all time and Estrada is nowhere near that.

But Marco has been money in the playoffs the last 2 seasons and they are similar in that they don't throw very hard and use amazing deception to get guys out. Marco has been a stone cold killer.

He has a 1.99 ERA in 4 postseason starts for Toronto (27.2 IP).

Texas fans (yes, plural, as opposed to a single rogue fan) booing trainer for checking on Liriano after he took a line drive to the head. Stay classy guys.

A bunch of hyporcritical pricks.

At least the Jays don't have despicable human beings on their team like Bush and Odor.
