Musings of a Bassist

Someone pinch me, Marmol just threw two good sliders in a row.

i watched this game on youtube, its a classic

Absolutely, probably the second best pitching performance in a World Series game next to Don Larsen’s perfect game. 10 inning shutout, he got into a few jams, but worked his way out of it thanks to his great pitching and stellar defense. One of the best moments is Chuck Knoblauch’s fake double play to confuse Lonnie Smith. Also the 2-3-2 double play that came right after that was freaking masterful. One of the best games EVER!

They had more mustaches. Jack Morris led his team to victory and was not actually awarded the World Series MVP award, since this award did not apply to their victory. The award he actually won was the World Series MVM award, which (when applicable) is awarded to the player with the Most Valuable Mustache. Honorable mention goes to Morris’ battery mate, Brian Harper, whose stache aided in Morris’ gem of a performance.

On this day, Jack Morris’ Mustache > John Smoltz’s Mustache. 

Glorious.

They say offense wins games, and that defense wins championships. Really, it’s mustaches. No one with a lip ferret like that could abide a loss. Why do you think he pitched a 10 inning complete game shutout? Where did he summon the strength?? How did he retire the side in order in the 9th and 10th innings??!? 

It was all about the soup catcher. Good night.
