AnythingChicago Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Extended fantasy: It's Halloween night, and all eyes are on O.co Coliseum as the Oakland Athletics lead the St. Louis Cardinals 1-0 in the top of the ninth inning. The clock has struck midnight on the east coast, and November is upon us for many baseball fans. The world has just experienced one of the best pitching duels in World Series history; Jeff Samardzija pitched eight shutout innings for the A's, recording ten strikeouts, while the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright allowed one run over eight innings himself; the only hit of the game for the A's was a Yoenis Céspedes solo blast off of Wainwright's only mistake pitch of the night. This Game 7 is just a culmination of an already extraordinary Fall Classic; the A's took Games 1 and 2 at the Colosseum, but fell in Games 3, 4, and 5 in St. Louis before being down to their final strike and coming from behind to win Game 6.In the meantime, Sean Doolittle recorded two quick outs for the Athletics, sending nearly 60,000 ecstatic fans into an absolute frenzy. Doolittle then proceeds to walk Allan Craig and Matt Holliday, and Matt Adams singles up the middle to load the bases; Allan Craig is curiously not sent around to score. There are no words to describe the sound reverberating throughout the Colosseum as legendary catcher Yadier Molina steps up to the plate for the Redbirds. Molina works the count to 3-1, sending the hometown fans into an utter Top Thrill Dragster of emotion. Sean Doolittle's 3-1 pitch is high and tight, just juicy enough for Molina to swing at, but Molina is sawed off, and he hits a towering ball into a seemingly endless world of foul territory. Both Cardinal fans and A's fans will forever remember the few seconds during which the ball seemingly lingered high in the sky for hours as the longest few seconds of their lives. Meanwhile, Josh Donaldson is sprinting faster than he can handle toward the famous tarp down the left field line, but it seems that the ball has travelled too far toward the left field foul pole for Donaldson to corral it. But then suddenly time seems to leap forward as Donaldson leaps onto the tarp, using it to spring himself forward, and flies as if he were a bird into the path of the ball, catching it just before it can bounce anticlimactically to the ground. Donaldson, writhing in pain on the dirt (x-rays later showed that Donaldson broke two ribs on the play), holds up his glove, ball secured safely inside, for all to see, and the Oakland Athletics have defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the most spectacular and fitting fashion in the history of the World Series, or even baseball as we know it.

LordOfBaltimore Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 And this one's not a rant, but MLB should've done some kind of tribute to Tony Gwynn tonight. Nothing against Jeter, though.It was a real shame that MLB couldn't muster up something to honor Gwynn. I thought it was rather insulting that they didn't. I don't want to put the entire blame squarely on him (or should I) but thank god Bud Selig is done after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have to say that last night's All star Game was probably the worst one I've ever seen. The Jeter slob knobbery was downright miserable to have to sit through. Then they don't even mention Tony Gwynn one single time? Insulting doesn't even begin to cover what that abortion of a television show was last night. I'm not sure I'm gonna bother with the All Star Game any longer.

The city, and frankly the state of Michigan, is a mess right now. The Tigers winning the World Series might bring us together and would give us a brief escape from our harsh reality. It would also give owner Mike Ilitch the World Series ring he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Holy back pedal, Wainwright. I can't wait till this Jeter slob knobbery is over for good next season.Agreed. Two straight years of the MLB acting like nobody has ever retired before because a Yankees player retired. Enough already.

dbadefense1990 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If Fox doesn't give a damn about producing quality baseball telecasts and the ratings aren't good anymore, why do they keep signing contracts to air baseball? because they can?Because Major League Baseball can't find any other networks to broadcast games. FOX, ESPN and TBS are the last crutches of baseball broadcasting because of demographic and other factors in play for over the past quarter-century.In my time of existence on Earth (1990), MLB has been subjected to bleeding money from infamous TV deals with CBS (first network to bid over $1 billion for TV rights for a non-NFL league) and the "Baseball Network" (the league's own production of games with NBC and ABC serving as time-shared distributors). When all was said and done, FOX, which in the mid-1990s was in its sports infancy, grabbed MLB broadcasting rights in their attempt to show the Gen X and later the Millennial audience their edgy, "cool" approach to broadcasting baseball (to no avail because younger generations don't like the slowness and pace of baseball to begin with). All other over-the-air networks vowed to never work with Major League Baseball ever again.Today, with the advent of MLB Network and FS1, not to mention ESPN and Turner, there is even less on an incentive for MLB to return to the traditional three networks (CBS, ABC, NBC). That, and the fact that all those networks are pretty satisfied with their current sports designations (CBS with the NFL, SEC and NCAA basketball, NBC with SNF, NHL, EPL and the Olympics, ABC with the NBA and all other shared responsibilities with ESPN).
