Hmmm. I don't recall the Great Dane's pitch being THAT close to Esky's head. I recall it going about five feet over the plate, more centered. Anyway, I loved Esky's head-nodding response, which I read as "Yeah, that's about right. Should've seen that coming."

I had Alex being thrown out at third as another TOOTBLAN. Thanks for pointing out the reasoning.

Why on earth was Franklyn Morales pitching in a game that the Royals were not two touchdowns ahead or behind? Morales was the textbook example of garbage-time pitching. Never got Ned's thinking on that move.

BTW, without giving the outcome away, Pete Rose is the only talking head who accurately predicted the Series before Game 1. Just saying.
