I at least wanted a Game 3, but it was stille exciting to watch the end of the CWS. All hail the Gamecocks, wow they were good. My big takeaway was in the interviews afterwards: 2 straight seperate players dropped the L word on the nation… “Love.” As in “We all love each other on [...]

Hi: So I was right in my bold predictions:  Intensely emotional battle decided by pitching and defense and emotion management. OK, I didn’t say defense, but that goes without saying… South Carolina came up soooo huge on defense — really amazing. I would love to have had a focused, free, clutch at-bat decide the game [...]
