Indians Win! SIX down, five to go

All morning long, the media said "Red Sox lose." No mention of "Cleveland wins," or "Colorado Rockies advance to first World Series ever." Often, I say that I dislike sports media, despite the fact that I would give a kidney to be able to get paid to write about sports all day long. But websites like si.com, which I might add is housed in Atlanta, Georgia, all seem to have this fascination with the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and New York Mets. And Barry Bonds. No credit to those who deserve it. Like the Colorado Rockies. And the Cleveland Indians... whom speaking of which:



Tim Wakefield took it up the butt, and now the Cleveland Indians are on the brink of the World Series. Rest up while Beckett pounds them in Game 5, and then rape Schilling en route to the Series.

FOX's "pitcher-cam" or whatever the fuck they call it sucks. The grainy, slow-mo, slightly delayed "cinematic" look, and then boom, back to real-time bullshit has got to stop. I know closeups of the pitcher's face prior to the pitch is good for building suspense and shows possibly anxiety, but with the cinematic cam, it's plain gay.

Anyway - SIX wins down, five to go.
