I didn’t do one of these for Game One of the World Series, and hadn’t intended on doing any, but once I saw how many of you were discussing the game last night, I figured I’d at least do you a solid and give you one clear spot.
The Royals won in exciting fashion in a 14-inning game last night. Not sure the teams can top that one, but I suppose we’ll see. Maybe Johnny Cueto will at least do a lot of that wiggle-wiggle stuff on the mound. That always makes me chuckle.
