Steve- I can definitely relate to that: I was stuck at an out-of-town Retail Management Convention in October of 1991 - and the meetings went on 'til 9PM EVERY F**KING NIGHT!

-So, you KNOW what I missed!

But I'm retired now and don't value jobs that much anymore...the World Series is MUCH more important! LOL IMO LOL

Not sure if I am watching the World Series or or episodes of Home Run Derby.

Not only have the games been some of the best I have seen but I think it is important to call attention to the way Darvish and Roberts responded to Gurriel's gesture during game 3. The two guys could not have showed more class. One of these teams will win the series but humanity is the real winner.

Awesome and exciting game last night; so many lead changes - quite the contrast from the pitcher's duel of Game 1.

I was texting with my son while watching the game - he's a freshman off at college - and suddenly I noticed that he stopped texting back. This morning he texts that he fell asleep and missed the end.

Guess the old man can still hang with the young boys

There are too many home runs being hit in the game today. So far the two teams have had a seven HR game and an eight HR game out of the five they've played. The five HR's hit in extra innings in game 2 was a first in the history of the game, including regular season. Players hit what appear to be lazy fly balls that carry out of the park. There needs to be a little more action on the field.

And the games have to start earlier. First pitch at 8:20 Eastern time is simply too late. I never see the end of any of them. It's been an exciting series but kids are going to be tuning out baseball if MLB doesn't smarten up.
