In honor of one of the most exciting World Series ever, here’s a live-tweet account of game seven, according to Nick (@NickTavares), Jon (@JonCouture) and myself (@FutureSpike).
NickTavares: “Michael Young is still an asshole and fuck that guy and I hate him and you.” - Keith Law
FutureSpike: baseball, pizza, and book chapter notes…a true american pasttime
FutureSpike: tim mccarver has an amazing command of counting.
FutureSpike: maybe it’s the crowd, maybe it’s my respect for pujols, maybe it’s rick perry, but i’m finding myself rooting the cards
FutureSpike: the rangers blew 3 saves in game six…that’s gotta be some kind of record
NickTavares: @FutureSpike You’ve joined the good fight.
FutureSpike: @NickTavares: i think the rangers’ pitching staff has joined us.
JonCouture: Same pitch. Awful call. #Rangers#Cardinals
FutureSpike: while i love the “crazy train” SUV commercial, i question how ethnically diverse a family can really be.
FutureSpike: oh my god, he fuckin’ hit the guy.
FutureSpike: i’m pretty sure chris carpenter is a homeless man larussa found outside busch stadium
NickTavares: With that inning and his beard, Chris Carpenter is making New Hampshire proud. #WorldSeries
FutureSpike: thanks FOX news, i’ll be sure to watch your piece on that deadly, common, yet unnamed, home decoration…if it doesn’t kill me by then.
NickTavares: 5-2 leads late in a game with the ace on the mound make me nervous, too. So„ good call. #WorldSeries
FutureSpike: oh david murphy, we traded you for some blown saves with goggles.
NickTavares: Tony LaRussa: “JUST GET DOTEL!” That joke was for three people I know.
NickTavares: I swear I jut heard Joe Buck yawn. #WorldSeries
FutureSpike: took the dog around the block, missed nothing but 3 ranger outs and, apparently, yawning. @NickTavares
FutureSpike: i can’t wait to see how the rangers send this to extra innings.
NickTavares: NO ONE CAN SLOW DOWN FAT ELVIS! #WorldSeries
FutureSpike: holy shit, nolan ryan has aged into ty cobb.
NickTavares: Nolan Ryan has his Kristen Wiig mad face going.
FutureSpike: it may be 44〫in st. louis, but i still don’t see the need for managers to wear batting gloves.
NickTavares: That Michael Young pop-up just made Keith Law’s erection explode.
FutureSpike: i love baseball. no other professional sport can relevantly reference 1925 for in-game stats.
FutureSpike: just noticed the arch in center field…awesome.
JonCouture: Without belaboring the details and differences between them, the #RedSox and #Cardinals each went 90-72 this season. Playoff baseball!
FutureSpike: i’m calling a david murphy, 3-run homer.
NickTavares: RT It’s a hell of a game, this baseball. Even the winners fail more than they succeed.
FutureSpike: for the second straight year, could a pitcher with a burly beard close out the world series?
JonCouture: Pretty short list of managers w/ 3 WS: McCarthy & Stengel (7); Mack (5); Alston & Torre (4); Sparky, M. Huggins, McGraw, La Russa (3).
NickTavares: THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST TIME THE CARDINALS WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES!
FutureSpike: from 10.5 back in august, i’d had to say this was the best comeback in sports history this side of the ‘04 red sox
NickTavares: Baseball is the best.
NickTavares: “I’m glad the other red and white team won.” - Suzanne.
NickTavares: I don’t care, the post-World Series baseball pile-on is the best.
FutureSpike: @NickTavares: i guess sox fans can take solace a similar colored team carrying the commissioner’s trophy
JonCouture: Another year, another bearded closer. Someone tell Jason Motte he’s calling way too little attention to himself right now. #MLB
NickTavares: Somewhere, George Bush is sad. #WorldSeries
