Cain is able

The San Francisco Giants are looking good.  So good in fact that it would be surprising if this World Series goes past four games.  It remains to be seen how much of a fight the Texas Rangers can put up as they return to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.  If the Series goes past five games and returns to AT&T Park, Matt Cain could easily be a lock for MVP.  After tonight's amazing performance, Matt Cain has a post season ERA of 0.00.  That's right, from the Braves to the Phillies and now the Rangers, Matt Cain has pitched 21 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball.  Not bad for a pitcher who had a regular season record of 13-11.  Wonder what this will do for his card values.  Now I want the Series to extend to game six just to see what happens.

It's one, two, three managers out at the old ball game.

It's not a good day if you're a MLB manager, at least not for Ken Macha, Jerry Manuel and John Russell.

Sure, if you're Joe Torre or Bobby Cox, you can write your own ticket, leave on your own terms.

Or if you were a former player of note, taking a turn at managing, you might even wind up with an extra two years to manage like Dusty Baker and Kirk Gibson.

So... let me revise my original statement.  It's not a good day to be a manager if your baseball card can be found in the penny pile.

Cardboard Junkie is telling it like it is.  His breaks are fun to watch and I think his review of the recent Topps Football release is spot on.

He updates regularly and its always an amusing/informative read.
