At the Game 7 Café...

fullsizeoutput_3d8

... talk about anything you want. That picture is from earlier today, when I walked down to State Street, which was teeming with Badger fans and where the weather turned insane — very windy with sleet, ice pellets, and snow. But it's nighttime now, and Game 7 is about to begin. Are you with me???

What are the greatest Baseball songs?

"Take Me Out To The Ballgame", of course.

"Centerfield" by John Fogerty

"Paradise By The Dashboard Lights" by Meatloaf

"Love Is Like Baseball", by Michael Franks

"The Greatest" by Kenny Rogers

Any others?

We are in Detroit this weekend with my older daughter and her husband, she will run in the Detroit Marathon in the morning. Weather turned nasty this evening while we were eating pizza in Greektown, first light rain, followed by sleet, a little snow, and wind. She is going to freeze in the morning running across the bridge into Windsor, ON. We did have a nice day today at the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, what a great experience.

For those of us who beleive the whole #MeToo meme is part of an elaborate, polically calculated, years in the making scheme starring The Clintons and designed to keep undesirables off the Supreme Court- today comes the announcement from CNN of all places that the case against Hillary’s good friend Harvey Weinstein is falling apart. He may never see a jail cell. Surprise, surprise...

Burn it all up fighting each other. Wear out those arms so there’s nothing left when you face the Red Sox.

Watched game 7 of the 1952 world series last night. Yankees vs Dodgers, Brooklyn Dodgers. Billy Martin saved the day for the Yankees by catching an infield fly on the run. That play has its place in world series lore, and I recognized it as soon as Robinson popped it up and McDougall, Rizzuto, and Lopat all stood looking lost. This is Martin Makes The Catch!, I was thinking just as he came dashing into frame. Really cool to actually see it after all these years.

Dodgers lost, by the way.

Orly said...

Yup, watching the blue crew for the win

Ann Althouse said...

I don’t know about the World Series. This, this, feels like the biggest game.

Michael Fitzgerald said...

Unknown@7:01 There's a tune from Take Me Out To The Ballgame in which Jules Munshin confesses to a sexual relationship with an 11 year old. Yes indeed...

Where does Harvey Weinstein go to get his reputation back.

FullMoon said...

Was wrapped up in the game earlier today until my wife came in and told me it was a rerun. Good thing,'cause you guys were losing pretty bad..

No longer a baseball fan, so how long do baseball games last (in dog years)?

Democrat turnout clearly will be lower than it was in 2016.

The question is how will republicans turn out.

Big Mike said...

@Althouse, until the next big game.

FIDO said...

Off the baseball topic, because it is boring.

When Democrats 'lost faith' in Democracy, they have spent the last couple years trying to break the government with bouts of irrational violence.

However, I submit that Republicans had as visceral a reaction, albeit in a different direction. We bought and stockpiled a LOT of guns and ammo. ENORMOUS amounts.

But...there was no surge in political violence nor did Republicans try to make the entire government inoperable. We did not, however, give Grasping Obama everything he wanted, which Dems call 'ungovernable'.

But they are biased violent gits.

Are you with me???

I'm with her.

stephen cooper said...

in case you missed it creep Machado made a sexually insulting gesture to the crowd after Bellinger hit a home run

if he worked in any normal workplace he would have immediately been fired

narciso said...

Not surprising the lead accuser had to dodge the da, who was investigating her instead of Weinstein, maybe because he was following the crumbs provided by black cube, an outfit composed of mostly dives in the security establishment.

stevew said...

The Democrats never had faith in democracy - which, in any case, is not our system.

Cannot make any sense, structurally, of the wooden beams in that photo. They must be decoration.

I'm with you Ann, Go Brewers!

There's a work NY contest winding down; I picked up 36 NY stations today but the few left on now are ones I've already worked. Also there seems to be a Germany contest, and only two of them on the band (I guess it's 3am there), so I picked them off too. DP6T and DR4A. Probably contest stations because who else is up at that hour. No ballgame in Germany.

Drago said...

Joe Biden spoke today before 193 people in Las Vegas.

I know what you're thinking.

How long did Biden speak before approximately 180 of those people realized it was not a Brooks and Dunn autograph signing?

Sprezzatura said...

The Pot Bowl was played today. UW won. Not the Badger one, the pot (some say crackpot, e.g. Mock) one won.

We went into the big city* and caught part of the game at a "restaurant."

*That's Forks WA, 'round here.

P.S. Did you know you can take your boat to those games?

It's tailgating. But more unique: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b5/b2/13/b5b213e0f3083fe3a2c86285186f76f0.jpg

This is a better pic of a game:

Just shuttle into the Conibear Shellhouse. (That's where the players get grub during the season. And the rowers use it too. The lower level.

Orly said...

Crushed it!

LETS GO DODGERS!!

Big Mike said...

Bottom of the sixth and it goes not look good.

gspencer said...

And here I thought the Brewers wanted to play in Fenway. 5-1 in the 6th! Get a rally going.

FullMoon said...

Turn out the lights.....

Sprezzatura said...

"Turn out the lights....."

I guess it's back to the other fandom obsession.

R v D.

Any new polls or absentee data or pre-November surprises? Here it's still only the top of the seventh.

Boilermakers are dominating. I know it is not baseball ...

Iwent next door to my fab loft at an exclusive lounge and no one knew where Milwaukee was. Sad city in a gross state. Bring on a very blue coastie World Series.

No such thing as a blue coast World Series. The players are from other states or countries.

Total LIE!

Ignorance of HRC's pubes is very fab.

I have a dilemma. I really hate this year's Dodgers, but have been unable to root for an American League team since they instituted that God Damn Designated Hitter!

I hate it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!

Sprezzatura said...

BTW, I have socks made for my feet. So, obviously they're way beyond being just made for left and right. Though they are that, too.

Anywho, I, like Ed Willers, get emotional re devastating situations. So, the time a staff gal incorrectly sorted a left w/ a left, I (justifiably, obviously) went berserk.

Anywho, at first this seems like an insignificant thing. But, WTF would be the point of having aristocrat socks if the GD staff is gonna Fing mismatch the pairs? That's worse that store bought shit. I hated it. Hated it. Hated it. etc.


Carry on. Now that I'm done doing so.

narciso,

that florida guy is not reliable as he spins everything as the best for the GOP. I remember the day of the 2016 election he predicted Trump was winning Florida by at least 5% based on early voting and turnout. Trump won by 1.2%

narciso said...

Well I'm basing it on actual votes tallied so far, who else came close to that result, silver I don't think so.

Interesting Adams podcast (267). Says Saudis were supposed to throw Trump a bone with a semi-plausible "rogue elements" story so he could work with them, instead they f***ed him with the fist-fight BS. Not sure why as it does not seem to be in their interest..

Eighteen people that's a full soccer scrum. I don't see why you would more than one or two.

Wrong. I know it's hard to keep track of, but, that would be three women - three who, regularly, start sentences with "My psychic told me..." - being treated as though they're just those three women.

The true number starts at 4 - but may be 6 - and up,...

Giants fan here - I made the decision years ago that I would rather have an AL team win the Series than have the Dodgers win. If you ever question that logic, just picture Tommy Lasorda in your mind!
