World Series Game 5

"Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails."

"We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled."

Hate to admit it, I turned it off when it was 12-12 after the 9th. The 10th is only inning I haven't caught so far in this series. 1 more boys!

Typically when there are 12 runs scored total, it's considered a 'slug fest'. In this case it wasn't enough to win the game.

Same here.... I had to go to bed.
What a game!

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The ratings for this WS have been way up, no small part due to the NFL self-destructing. With viewership up, MLB has delivered big time.

I don't think it's too early to say that this is the best world series I have seen in my lifetime. I am praying for a game 7.

I wish they would start the games earlier. I love baseball but in the eastern time zone I can’t stay up until midnight to watch the games.

If it wasn't for last year's Game 7 between the Cubs and Indians, that would have been the best game I have every seen. The winning run crossed the plate at 1:39am EST, and with a little post game, I was up until 2am.

And then it took me a little while to fall asleep because I was so pumped up from watching the game.

I don’t know how far back that goes, but I watched Don Larsen’s perfect game in 1956.

These games are certainly at or near the top, two excellent teams, playing for all the marbles, superb plays, powerful hitting, incredible competition.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

My sister had two extra tickets last night and invited me to bring one of my boys.. Unable to choose between the boys, I decided to take them both. I drove them over to Houston, had my sister and her husband escort them to their seats and then meet up with them after the game and walk them out. I watched the game across the street on TV. We got home to Austin at 4:00 AM.
For 11 and 13 year old boys that both love the game, they got one heck of an experience. I hope that long after I am gone my son's will talk about going to that game together when they were kids.

Excellent, and I have no doubt those boys will never forgot the game or the experience.
