Anyway, it's not like Mo was robbed in favor of Papelbum!<br /><br />Sheryl Crow singing the National Anthem at a major sporting event in St. Louis, when she's from eastern Missouri, makes sense. But she also sang it last year at Yankee Stadium, when we have New York-area artists from Tony Bennett (80 years old) to Alicia Keys (28) available. Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, all known Yankee Fans. Alicia wore a Yankee cap in a video, I've seen Springsteen at a game, and the others have all sung at the Stadium (either Anthems or full concerts).<br /><br />Lisa, maybe you should talk Tyler Perry (sounds like the name of a prima donna pitcher) into making "Diary of a Mad Black Guinea Pig." Maybe he can blow up a terrorist beaver dam.<br /><br />The Red Sox, having home field advantage in the World Series? No. This is the year the universe is restored to order. And before Fred gets all hot and bothered over that, I'd like to remind him that the Mets went 11-1 against the Dodgers in 1988, and the Dodgers went on to beat the Mets in the NLCS. If the Red Sox want to be at the American League's park for the World Series games, they're going to have to start begging the Yankees for comps. Good luck with that. Yeah, right, the Sox used up enough good luck for the next 86 years in the last five.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-74689343003390070312009-07-15T10:26:01.235-04:002009-07-15T10:26:01.235-04:00I'm a RS fan and I think that Wakefield should...I'm a RS fan and I think that Wakefield should not have played given the close score. He does have the highest ERA of any of the AL pitchers. Maddon did the right thing and was managing for the win.

They each play for about 12 minutes; it is the ultimate team effort.<br /><br />I had the same thought about Sheryl Crow when she gave a concert in the "backyard" of the Big Brother House about 4 years ago. Bizarre.<br /><br />Wakefield is a great story. I'm sorry it falls deaf on Yankee ears.

Its not necessary to get everyone in the game<br /><br />Lisa - I credit you with admitting your bias and I certainly congratulate Mo on his record-setting save. However, Mo came in for a clean 1-2-3 ninth. Had he come in with runners on or something slightly more dramatic then maybe it would have been warranted. There wasn't much to choose from for MVP-like moments, but Crawford literally stole the go-ahead HR.<br /><br />I was thankful for the short game - I can't stand that these things start so late. Do they really watch on the West Coast?<br /><br />I had the same complaint about FOX's coverage of Obama's pitch. When the heck is Selig getting out of bed with them so we can try a different network?! <br /><br />Lisa, may I have permission to use your "she'd attend the opening of an envelope" line? That gave me a nice hearty laugh this morning!<br /><br />Enjoy the day, all!
