RE: Last night on Sports Center

So after FOX went to local news last night, I turned to ESPN to see their analysis of the game. Feel free to throw something at me for turning on ESPN. The Florida State game just ended and it went to Sports Center, which led with the game. They did their normal highlights/interviews/etc. Next Karl Ravech asked both John Kruk and Chris Singleton who they thought would win Game 6. Kruk said Angels because Saunders has been their ace (along with Weaver) this year. Ravech was shocked, didn't say so yet. Singleton said the Yankees because Pettite is pitching and said how many wins he has. They did some more highlights (of the 9th specifically), interviewed Torii (which was fantastic), and showed Pettite's stats for series clinching games (tied for the most with 5). Ravech then asked Kruk if he changed his mind. When Kruk said "no" Ravech asked him repeatedly if he changed his mind (at least two more), like "are you serious?" and "people change their mind." Kruk said that yeah people change their mind, but not that fast. Ravech said "yes they do" Kruk, "not baseball. I picked Yankees in 7 and that is what I am sticking with." Ravech practically threw his hands in the air, laughed at Kruk, and said "we will be back at midnight and we will see if Kruk changes his mind."

Now, I have no idea what happened at Baseball Tonight at Midnight, I did not watch it. But give me a break, Ravech! Try and debate Kruk on his answer like Singleton did, not something like "come on." If I wanted a debate like that, I will go on Facebook or go to the bars. The scene in 40 Year Old Virgin where they said "how I know your gay" had more substance than this, and I HATED that movie.

Pettitte isn't renowned for his postseason dominance

he’s been very good in it, now doubt…but it’s not like you’re picking against the Harlem Globetrotters here. The guy has the most postseason wins because WHY? Because he was in the postseason every goddamn year, for nearly every goddamn round for a decade. That tends to happen. It doesn’t mean he’s so unbelievably untouchable that a man has to be delusional to pick against him. He’s taking a gut-pick of two very evenly matched teams. There’s no way any credible human being could be aghast at this. Unless you’re a douchebag asshole who works for ESPN.

Maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...

Ravech is pissed that Kruk changes his mind between every commercial break, and really won’t commit his comments to any facts. And must be getting really jealous that Fat John gets all kinds of unnecessary props form the management of EaSsPeeiNg for being a big fat doofus that seems to know squat about baseball except the the East Coast teams are the greatest around.
