a) The picture quality and data rate is astonishing. Maybe they're streaming an HD feed and this is boosting the quality a little?
b) We get no commercials, just a wavy blue background and "Commercial Break in Progress" on the screen, interspersed with INTERMINABLY REPETITIVE AIRINGS of Lasorda as well as two mooks in the MLB.com offices, holding their mobile phones up to each other in some disastrously conceived "ringtone staredown," using audio content from MLB.com.
Anyway, the reason I mention this is that the lack of commercials highlights how RIDICULOUSLY long each commercial break is, a duration that I suspect has been jacked up for the postseason. I haven't timed them yet, but it's like 4 minutes each. Assuming the players only need half that, that's 2*18 = 36 minutes tacked onto games that already begin at 8pm EST. Frank Robinson, look no further.

wha?!? A Superman Returns-Brando style resurrection?
I'm surprised Randolph was flexible enough to use Mota instead of Heilman in the 8th. They need at least one blowout on the weekend to save some bullpen bullets.
I have my 2 t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodie and jacket for tnite.

Got to hand it to the Cards though, Suppon was in total control, and the Mets could not get a hit to save their season (4 walks to Delgado and no hits for Reyes/Lo Duca.) With all the talk of the starting pitching, both Maine and Perez came through big time though. And I'm still shocked at Chavez's catch. How the hell did he keep the ball in his glove when his hand nearly whiplashed forward over the fence back into the park?

Best thing about Games 6 & 7: They dressed like the Mets. Blue caps and pinstripes only, pls.
This stuff affects me much less than it did even in my 20s. When hstencil said "Sorry about [Thursday] night" to me, I had to think for 3 seconds what he meant.
