Hate to say it, but I agree. I would have felt much more comfortable if we had allowed somewhere around 10-13 points instead of shutting them out. Between the comebacks and all the turnovers and now a shutout, I wish the Bills could get non-flukish wins. Can't they just be average?

Zombies would be devoured by maggots.

Occupy WalMart.

That's just 1.5 million more self empowered farmers, though. Or something.

Washington fans think that Beck is where it's at, but I think he's a loser. I sea change and mutations in the way that the Redskins have played since the golden age of Week 1 and I now believe that they're a lost cause. Yeah, I think Washington sucks but it makes me kinda nervous to say so.

If I'm making millions upon millions of dollars, but I think that there's even more money potentially on the table, you can bet your ass that I'm going to try to get it.

My interpretation was that Chef was criticizing the Fox Network for their bizarre fascination with Nolan Ryan, not the man himself. But I could be wrong.

Not to even mention the baffling decision to pitch Matt Harrison in Game 7. The decision to start Derek Holland should have been made immediately after he left the mound in game 4. The kid looked pressure in the face and pissed all over it, not unlike Freese, and you don't put the ball back in his hand? C'mon Ron.

Fair enough. I'm a big believer in OPS, but like most stats you need more than a small handful of games to determine anything. Freese's 2011 OPS was .791 and Molina's was .814. Molina has decent power and has done great things in the playoffs during his career. Again, he's no schlub. If someone like Punto or Schumacker was coming up, I'd be more likely to play those odds. So to answer your question, yes, I would have pitched to Freese. My opinion has always been that walking the bases loaded = asking for trouble because the margin of error sinks to nil. And trouble is exactly what the Rangers got. But you know what they say about opinions...

Any youtube vids where we can check your stuff out?

Another great song for rolling down the open highway is Radar Love by Golden Earring.

The intentional walk of Freese to load the bases in the 5th, when Feldman was having trouble finding the plate, that to me was when the game ended. What a stupid, cowardly move. Yadier Molina is no chump.

I feel sorry for the Rangers and their fans for Game 6. They had the Cards up against the ropes twice and couldn't deal that knockout punch. I'm still wondering how that ball got over Nelson Cruz' head with the outfield in a doubles-prevention set. I don't feel sorry one bit for Game 7. They did the cowardly thing in intentionally walking Freese and the 2 runs that followed pretty well ended the game.

Umm, what? If you have a problem with Sweet Home Alabama, you're either tone deaf or take yourself way too seriously. Like Jim said, one of the best cruising songs ever. I put it up there with Running Down a Dream.

That, sir, was no rant. I just don't see the value in mocking somebody who successfully beat such a tough addiction. "This thing we call failure is not falling down. It is staying down."

We're on the same page, Chef. I thought you were taking exception to the potty humor itself, a well that Matt and Trey have have dipped into hundreds of times. I agree that the current episodes lack depth. I still found myself laughing on Wednesday night though. Anything that introduces the concept of Elton John as a beer-swilling frat bro will get a chuckle or two from me.

I take it you've lived your life free of turmoil?

Your pathetic attempts to convince us that you have two thumbs are becoming tiresome.

Holy **** David Freese! Free blow jobs for life in STL for that guy.

Here we go again! This may be the first time I've ever cursed the lack of a DH.

This is unbelievable. Legends are born in these type of games...if only people cared anymore. Gotta love Hamilton and his story. And again, Buck talks as if we just saw a meaningless 6th inning home run in some random game in July.

Holy crap. Feliz just made an awful terrible horrendous pitch and Craig watched it float by. One out to go. David Freese: Half possible centaur. PS. If I never hear Joe Buck call another meaningful game again, it'll be too many.

Why is it that a thread like this can't exist without people pontificating about how it somehow relates to the imaginary breakdown of American society?

Yet another defensive miscue, this time by Andrus.
