Unexpectedly Watching the World Series

Tommy Lasorda notwithstanding, I tend not to pay a tremendous amount of attention to the World Series when there's no team in it that I'm interested in. (Talk to daisy_knotwise and you may find out that the amount of attention I pay is still "pretty fair"...) But the Cardinals are, much to my surprise, in the Series and have managed to win at least one more game than some folks expected so that they've headed back to St. Louis with it all tied up at a game a piece.

Now I have a stupid number of vocal parts to record down in the studio. But my voice (although improving) isn't quite ready to handle that yet. So I have the perfect excuse for watching the game.

I just have to avoid shouting at the television.

Must Win BB

It's hard to say that game three of the World Series was a must win game for the Cardinals, given that the series was tied at one game a piece going in. But when you're at home and the ace of your staff is starting, well, yes, you really need to win that game.

The good news was that Carpenter pitched a great game. The better news was that the Cards scored five runs, which turned out to be four more than Carpenter actually needed. Mind you, three of the runs came on a wild throw and a wild pitch from the Tigers pitchers, but you've got to accept gifts graciously when they're given to you.

So the Cards go up two games to one and game four is tomorrow. Since daisy_knotwise will be out shopping for decorations for the baby shower with marniegucciard and Bonnie, there's no chance of recording, so I guess I'm free to watch the game.
