It's going to be played at 3:00 CST today. I remember it well.
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.

Right now they have Yankees/Tigers from 1976, featuring Tom Veryzer starting at SS for the Tigers.

I still remember doing cartwheels in my house as an excitable 18 year old when I watched this game live.
It's funny, I can' help but watch this, and all the while wonder what the gameday thread would have been like if we were around back then. I am certain there would have been calls for the immediate release of Steve Trout though.
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.

I was 20--home at my parents house--just watching the saturday game of the week. I was jumping around the room.

Tune in while you can--it's going to get good.

That was the last game that my Grandpa,Dad and I all got to watch together.
Only a World Series clinching win could top that game,for me.
A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Notice that everybody, everybody, is skinnier back then? Players and fans?

I've only ever seen brief clips from this game (being that it was played almost exactly 3 1/2 years before I was born), So I'm glad I've finally got a chance to see it.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

That would be like hitting 2 homers off Brad Lidge in a game this past year. Pretty incredible.

It was a bit different back then in that Sutter was pitching in what--his 3rd inning? But the remarkable thing is that Sutter wasn't giving up shit that year--he had an ERA less than 2. So many things in that game could have gone one way or another.
