There is only one October. (Good, now I can quit worrying about my defective calendar.) Unless, of course, your calendar says it is Rocktober, a name the Rockies are actually trying to patent in Federal Court.

There is only one postseason. (I'll bet the NBA, NHL and NFL would beg to differ.)

There is such a thing as over-exposure if one's commercials are played too often. (Hint to Dane Cook.)

One swing of the bat can be worth 70 million dollars. (If you doubt me, go ask any die hard Boston fan how they feel about J.D. Drew after his grand slam last night. But if you tell me you had an ounce of confidence in that overpaid Boras-baby BEFORE he stepped to the plate with the bases loaded, I will call you a liar. I personally started crying when Mike Lowell flew out, assuming the golden opportunity was lost...)

Which reminds me, I loved it when J.D. had to play right field in Philadelphia. Made me wish I had been there with my own supply of batteries. Gotta love those Philadelphia fans, they are hard core :)

Baseball players have some weird superstitions. (This is the only reasonable explanation for why Fausto Carmona always has the tag for his undershirt hanging out on his neck. That would drive me bat shiat, personally.)

Joe Buck is an idiot. (I would give examples, but have no idea where I would start. Or stop.) Ok, you twisted my arm, so here ya go: "Jonathan David Drew, and you can change that to Just Delivered Drew." (Please shoot me. I would use the Mute button, but it's like watching something awful happen, you simply cannot look away...) Actually, his name is David Jonathan, causing me to wonder why the hell the call him JD in the first place. Parental dyslexia?

More big innings are the result of a lead-off home run than are the result of a lead-off walk. (This was debated ad nauseum by the various broadcasters, but I think Stats, Inc. settled the matter. Thank God.)

So much for the memorable statement made by Chip Caray earlier in the season: Lead-off walks always come around to score. Unless they don't. (No, I did not make that up.)

Wearing a bungee cord around your neck is a fashion statement. (But could someone please tell me what is being said?)

I still refuse to watch Frank TV. But the clips did seem to get funnier, or was I finally indoctrinated, er...innoculated...or just plain overwhelmed? I was actually relieved to be switched to Fox, and I never thought I would write that, ever. Heck, after the TBS commercials, I won't complain if Eric Byrnes arrives in the FOX booth. (That's a lie...)

Miller beer is staging a revolt against 12 dollar hamburgers. As if anyone who bought a 12 dollar hamburger would order Miller beer. Get real. Everyone knows a 12 dollar hamburger calls for a Corona and a lime. Duh.

Chevrolet makes America's truck, yet Toyota has reinvented the truck. Now I am really confused. Is the Chevy one still a truck, or not? (Those Toyota truck commercials give me the willies. Deathly afraid of heights.) Personally, I'll take a Ford, you never know when you might need to stop an airplane.

The Rockies have won 20 out of their last 21 games. GOT IT. Yes, it's awesome. So, tell me, who shall they complain to when they are ice cold in the World Series? They need to send someone to check in with the Tigers first, looks like Detroit complained to the wrong department last year.

I think it's wonderful that Manny can be Manny. (Who else would he be, actually? Are there major league players out there pretending to be someone other than themselves? Wait, I forgot about DJ Drew masquerading as JD...) That does not stop me from frequently wanting to strangle him (Manny). Hats off to Terry Francona, I don't have that kind of patience. It must be great to screw off, screw up, and have your teammates defend you to the death, even when you pout, don't play while pretending to have an injury and demand to be traded.

If The Great Texas Con Man (otherwise known as Roger The Rocket) had a different cell phone provider, it would have deprived me of many opportunities to laugh at George Steinbrenner this season.

Who in LA thought it was a good idea to hire Grady Little? And why? Don't you just hate it when incompetence is rewarded?

They sure have some untimely bug conventions in Cleveland, and bug spray makes them stick. But I couldn't help but think the bugs looked natural stuck to a guy they call Joba.

Asdrubal Cabrerra is the only player in MLB history to have the first name 'Asdrubal'. Honest to God, this was a factiod posted during one game, complete with colorful graphics. Really? Coulda sworn there had been 5 or 6. But you gotta love that ESPN writer who nicknamed him Ass-Dribble, well-deserved after his 0-for-life in the postseason thus far. Ass-Dribble. I am still laughing. Go ahead, you know you want to.

The Florida Marlins 'forced' Boston to take Mike Lowell in order to get Josh Beckett. Dont'cha just love it when you are forced to do something that gives you a shot at the World Series? That bare-handed catch for the final out of Game 6 was a thing of beauty. As were the RBI's this season.

And, on a final note: The Red Sox spent a total of 103 MILLION dollars to bring Dice-K to Boston. Now, aren't you glad the ALCS comes down to him on the mound tonight? (So far in the postseason, he has managed only 5 innings against the Angels and the Indians combined.)

God, I love this game!
