Words Fail...

It doesn't happen often, but words failed me as I nervously "watched" developments in San Diego via ESPN's GameCast and caught up on e-mail last night. The LA Dodgers capped a miraculous comeback victory in what could only be described as an epic, climactic game in a great series.

Five home runs in two innings against a decisively superior bullpen may not stoke the competitive fires of our erstwhile host, but they ought to. There's a reason baseball and the networks ought to be ashamed of showing us meaningless Red Sox-Yankees games this late in the year and ignoring this series. And this game showed why. Although I think watching it live would have been left me in a worse state than I already am. While my X's and O's analysis proved absolutely wrong, I was right that it would be a great series. And it obviously was.

I have to go now.
