Suspenseful, sure. Watchable…?
The ALCS is absolutely punishing. Terrible baseball that just won’t end. Blown saves, un-clutch hitting, pitchers that the managers don’t trust.
First a four-hour game. The next night, a five-hour game. Well, it can’t get any weirder, right?
Tonight: six hours of baseball, 471 pitches, 30 men left on base.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals and Astros are throwing elegant one-hitters at each other and nobody in the country gets to see it.
Gang, this ain’t right. This needs to stop.
Man, that game last night was FANTASTIC. Painful, stressful, suspenseful and dramatic. What more could you want to see?
Good pitching. Good baserunning. Clutch hitting with runners on base. 2/3 the length. No Jack Buck or Tim McCarver. And a team from west of the Rockies!
the whole country can watch the NLCS – just tune to your local fox sports affiliate, or in New England, NESN.
