I hope you’re watching the game tonight

You know I am — I’m a Cards fan. I’m putting my faith in the BG* to take me through the end of the month. [Though I fully admit that my team is already overachieving to be where it is right now.]

But you’ve got to watch these great commercials featuring Tommy Lasorda, exhorting all you Cubbies and BoSox fans [sorry, Jamie, Patrick, Patrick and Trocch] to watch the postseason anyway. They are just brilliant.

Kind of like BG.

*Baseball Genius. I have referred to Tony La Russa as the Baseball Genius for years. I am not alone. La Russa is the most maddening kind of man to have in charge of your team. Most of the time he’s doing a great job, so it’s really hard to complain, but you can never, and I mean never, figure out what the hell he’s up to. On the other hand, you hope that the other team has the same problem you do.

And, when he delivers with the results like we got in Games 2 and 3 of the NLCS thanks to his BG lineups, who’s arguing?
