Man for as ugly of a ballplayer Hunter Pence is, that speech gave me goosebumps... After watching him hobbling along in Game 4, it really is remarkable that he is still in the lineup.
There really is nothing that beats October baseball, nothing.
Every series has something special going on it seems. The A's refusing to lay down (though they do get Verlander as a prize), the Giants clawing themselves back to a Game 5 on the road, the Orioles and their bullpen letting a possible three-game sweep slip out of their hands and now face elimination, and the Cards continuining to prove that experience trumps all.
Gimme October baseball all the way till April - the heck with the NHL, I've got my fix and am finding it more satisfying than these chums locked up in a boardroom.
PREDICTS FOR OCT 11:
Tigers (Verlander is just too much for the light hitting A's)
Baltimore (Saunders continues whatever he's got going on, forces a game 5)
St Louis (Lohse vs Detwiler - Lohse outduels in a tight ball game)
SF (Common, we need the "Fear the Beard" for awhile longer)
