Game 2 World Series: The Theme Songs

As I was watching game two of the World Series, song titles popped  into my head to describe the action that was unfolding on the field.  The score looks worse than the game actually was for the Rangers.  The Giants had a huge 8th inning, scoring 7 runs to make it looks easy. 

Matt Cain-  Less Than Zero
Giants Pitching - Shut Down
8th Inning - Walk This Way
Texas Relievers - Free Fallin'

Historic Baseball Day

I can't recall a suspended World Series game continuing two days later, but that will happen tonight in Philly. When we last left off Philly and Tampa Bay were tied at 2. The game will air after the 30 Obama infomercial.

In another historic baseball moment, in 1969 Tom Seaver won the Cy Young award. To put his amazing year in perspective, He received the highest numbers from Baseball Writers' Association of America's Hall of Fame vote. Tom Terrific went 25-7 with a 2.21 ERA. He won two more games in his three postseason starts. Here is where the voting stands to this day. It's interesting that two pitchers who started their careers as Mets, lead the pack. Now if only a current Met could throw the teams first no-hitter.
