ALDS Game 4 Blogdome: Hello Indians, Goodbye Yankees

What they're saying out there in the ether about Cleveland's 6-4 win over New York that ousted the Yankees from the AL Playoffs ...

• Suck It, New York. So I was a bit wrong on Paul Byrd. I convinced myself that I wanted to see Sabathia go Monday night but Byrd pitched well... 5 innings, 2 runs, 8 hits... can't ask for much more than that. Well done Paulie. Now C.C. and Carmona pitch Game 1 and 2 in Boston. That is gonna be fun. Please everyone pick Boston (oh God... the Sports Guy's team in a playoff series against a Cleveland team... I may go insane).

Baseball Blogdome: Rockies Vs. Padres

What they're saying out there in the ether about Colorado's 9-8 win over San Diego in the NL tiebreaker ...

• Rockies Celebrate ... But He Still Has Not Touched Home Plate! Matt Holliday never touched the plate and Tim McClellan knows it. He absolutely knows it. He stood back and did not make a call because he knew it. A thought process happened, and then he made the call in slow motion. They are interviewing Matt Holliday on TBS at this very moment and even he won't say he touched the plate. Quote, "The umpire said I did, so..."

What's more, I am flat out, right now accusing Tim McClellan of making a call that, if not downright influenced by a desire to punish Sandy Alderson and the Padres, was at the very least a call that ended a ball game which he had no evidence to make. A call that ended a team's season. I can't prove that it was consciously or subconsciously influenced by any bias. But I believe it. See, the non-call was already a call. It was saying he did not touch the plate. Never seen an umpire reverse a call? Guess what? You just did. [San Diego Spotlight]

Life As A Scout

Of all the professions involved in all of sport, the one that seems the least glamorous to us, save for maybe being the guy who pretends to be Clinton Portis' hands, is being a baseball scout. You drive all night to watch some teenagers play a game, you write in your little notebook, a bunch of parents notice you in the stands and come to bother you and then you pick up and drive all night to another town in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, a bunch of Harvard guys keep telling you you're irrelevant and a waste of an investment. Tough gig. More »

Coming Out Of The Blogging Closet

We didn't get to this yesterday, so we're gonna load you up on it now. Those two handsome gents right there are the fine minds behind Faith And Fear In Flushing, one of our very favorite blogs and definitely our favorite Mets blog. Yesterday, in the Wall Street Journal (or online, at least), WSJ.com's "Daily Fix" author Jason Fry let it be known to the world that he's the man behind Faith And Fear, ending months of speculation by ... well, anybody as dorky as us, we guess.
