Ha. Yeah, and a lot of people probably felt the same way.

This is an apples and oranges comparison here bc of the circumstances, but I was so much more upset by any walk/hit (hell it seems like even a strike called a ball by the ump) in NLDS game 5 than I was by Hamilton's HR in Game 6. In that game 5, it just seemed the cards were going to have to hang on to a 1 run lead all game long and even if they let the Phils tie it, they would likely lose. In Game 6 of the WS, it felt like they would win...no matter what. I'm probably in the minority, but I was never as worried - even in the bottom of the 9th or top of the 10th - as I was for the entirety of Game 5 NLDS.
Totally opposite feeling. I could not have been more confident with a 1 run lead in Philly, but I was a broken man after Hamilton's HR.
I thought for certain the game was over after Hamilton's HR.

i mean honestly, we had descalso, jay (0 for 1000 in the playoffs), and the pitcher spot (with no available pinch hitters) coming up in the bottom of the 10th

to get 2 runs from that was a miracle

I'm a little surprised nothing about the Blues made the list; Halak's bad year after the big contract, Oshie/MacDonald injuries, Perron concussion, etc......some possibilities that may qualify.

To add to the level of difficulty, Texas also had a lefty on the mound (Jay .727 OPS against, Descalso .518). Absolutely the most underrated part of that game and the series. Those two guys being able to scratch out two hits against Oliver to lead off the inning.

Sports wise, I don't know if he has one. [expletive] was probably the wrong word. I always think of him more of a perverted talk show host that tries to keep up in the sports world.

I take it you like him?

I'm in the minority here, but yes, I do like his shows. If you are awake at 7am there isn't much competition until Mike and Mike come on - and I don't like them.

Npr, music, silence and nails on a chalkboard are all preferable.
