Tonight Yasavage became just the second rookie pitcher (after Don Newcombe in 1949) to throw 11 strikeouts in a World Series game. He’s also the second-youngest pitcher (after Smoky Joe Wood in 1912) to do this. He’s also also the first rookie pitcher in WS history to strike out five consecutive batters. And he’s broken Newcombe’s record with 12. Some kinda night for the kid.

Tickles the hearts of TV producers, you mean.

He does, if the baseball player is specifically Yogi Berra.

First time in WS a team has led off with b2b homers. And they both came on the first pitch!

I wonder how many Dodger fans left the game in the 16th last night, to beat the traffic.

If this one goes much longer, every runner will be a ghost runner.

Now the question is whether they can end it before midnight Pacific time.

Holy Jeez.

What was that blurb about Goose Goslin? I love when Tigers come up in historical notes.

He tied a record dating back to 1906.

Damn, what a play to get Kiner-Falefa out.

When Gibson hit his famous WS homer for the Dodgers, I was watching it on my parents’ bedroom TV with my brother and one of his friends who was spending the night with us. While the three of us were going bonkers, my dad poked his head in to see, said “Gibson.” in a tune of absolute disgust, and left us to it.

This game has had one of the most egregious strike-that-wasn’t-a-strike calls you will ever see. ABS can’t come fast enough.

Can’t the goddamned son of a bitch just die already?

“Tearing down the East Wing with construction excavators - in a tantrum over the the ‘No Kings’ protest - did not come out of the blue or occur in a vacuum. “It arose from the same violent impulses and broken personality that allowed him to tear out a chunk of his first wife’s hair in 1989 and proceed to sexually assault her because he didn’t like the scar the plastic surgeon she recommended left on his head after a scalp reduction to help conceal his baldpate. “Donald’s narcissism and god complex were under attack and he lashed out viscously at the mother of his young children. This came after subjecting her to years of his public infidelity and demeaning behavior. “The same kid who threw rocks at the neighbor’s baby and punched his teacher is very much alive and ‘well’ in the current (and perhaps last) President of the United States. The entire world should recognize the threat he poses instead of continually seeking to appease his darker instincts.” https://noelcasler.substack.com/p/breakdown

Two items from today’s Washington Post.

But, by all means, please don’t call them “deplorable”.

The '68 Tigers scored ten runs in the 3rd in Game 6. That's tied for the single-inning record in a WS game, shared with the '29 Athletics.

Even among the Right's rougues gallery of treasonous ghouls, Bannon stands out like a sore thumb.
