I just finished watching game 3 of the World Series. I don't really care who wins betwen the Rays and the Phillies, I just like watching baseball. This one was a pretty decent game, all things considered. 45-yr-old Jamie Moyer vs. former Twin Matt Garza, back-to-back dingers from Utley and Howard, plenty of baserunning shenanigans, and a bases-loaded infield single to end the game in the bottom of the 9th. I was entertained. O yeah, and there was also the head-scratching quote from Tim McCarver- one of my least favorite baseball announcers.
In the bottom of the 9th the Rays plunked the first Phillies batter and that sent Joe Buck and Tim McCarver into a tizzy over various pitching, hitting, bunting and fielding strategies. Then Grant Balfour threw a wild pitch which careened off the backstop and back to the catcher, who fired it into the outfield trying to get the runner. On that sequence the runner went all the way from first to third, and we got Tim McCarver's take:
"The best-laid plans of mice and men! (pause) And managers!"
What?!
