The World Series
Posted by: David Bunch
The weekend was packed with sports action, not the least of which was LSU Football and The World Series. I'm told by a very reliable source that our own Brad McDonald was in Tiger Stadium Saturday night watching the football game with his eyes, but listening to The World Series with his ears via a handy earbud and radio tuner. In fact, said reliable source indicates that matters got so tense at one point that she (ahem, the source) stated that if either the Tigers or the Astros did not win she (oops, the source) was not going to ride home with Mr. McDonald.
Well, the Tigers won.
Barely.
In over time.
But the Astros Lost. Twice.
Game 2 was played last night and there was no shortage of excitement. The Astros tied the game in dramatic fashion in the top of the ninth, but the White Sox came back to win it 7-6 on a home run by Scott Podsenik, who has hit a grand total of zero home runs this season.
This is the stuff dreams are made of.
The good news for the Astros is that the series shifts to Houston, but as Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports says, they are going to have to figure a way to beat a team who has won 14 of the last 15 and 6 straight in the post season.
All that and Clemens is injured, too.
I'm calling on Brad to get the lucky cap, underroos, and tiger paw ready. Looks like they all will be needed.
