MLB 2014 season thread

I like both teams, but I was leaning toward the Cardinals. Still, at least we're spared the stories about Don Denkinger.

 

No we're not. There just won't be as many.

 

Wait ... Denkinger stories were going to be a bad thing? I was kind of looking forward to Best Fans eating shit again 29 years later. It was going to be the only silver lining of the Cardinals beating the Giants.

 

I'm pretty happy with the way this series ended.

 

Yeah me too.

BTW @BestFansStLouis is on fire.

 

Unsolicited call from my father. He's 75 and we don't talk that often. Up and down relationship since I was 7 for all the usual crummy reasons. He was largely absent in my life.

"You and your son are huge royals fans," he starts.

He asks if I have landed any World Series tickets. I say no, just not in the budget. I say they are going for $800 to get in. $1250 in lower concourse.

Then he says... without hesitation.

"Go spend up to three grand for the two of you. I'll pay. This is too important."

Then he pauses. Struggling for the next words.

"I can't make up the past but when you're a grandfather like I am, do something like this for your kid."

Speechless.

Now going to Game 2.

 

Greatest. Twitter. Account. Ever.

 

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

And exmediahack, that's awesome. It's amazing how this run touches people. The past few weeks have been a reminder why its always been sports for me.

 

This is one of the coolest posts ever in the history of SportsJournalists.com.

And yeah exmedia ... what it's all about.

 

What he said. I'm very happy for all three of you, for multiple reasons.

How cool is that?
