World Series Game 2: BMFS live blog, installation 2

I forsook the scotch for a V-8. I'm still fuming, but less likely to barf later this way.

Howard is now 2-for-2 and about to be stranded on third base in the fourth inning. Greg Dobbs looks absolutely lost against Shields. I've never seen him like this. He may as well just stop swinging and hope Shields misses the strike zone four times, because he's not coming close to anything he's swinging at. He looks like Mr. Fuji just threw salt in his eyes.

(Now there's a Simmons line for you!)

Phils leave another one to die on the vine. I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue. Still 3-0.

The Phillies have now given up a fourth run... On a fucking squeeze play... with Cliff Floyd scoring from third... Who has had about 30 knee reconstructions... After the batter bunted the ball foul on the previous pitch...

To quote the late Hall of Famer Rich Ashburn after his final major-league season, with the '62 Mets, I can't take this anymore.

Gonna go play with the cat for a while or something.
