Yeah I realize neither of them has made a significant number of errors this season, but they seem to be great with the circus plays in the hole, but make their errors on routine plays - in the playoffs that'll crush your chances and play mind games with you for the rest of the playoffs.
I'd like to see the Phillies make it through in the NL Wild Card. I'm a big Omar Vizquel fan and after he left Seattle to go to Cleveland I became a big Indians fan. During that time I watched Thome develop and learned to like his smash mouth style of gritty play (he just exudes that Pete Rose mentality of overcoming athletic shortcomings with determination - he just looks like a ball player).
And my reason for wanting the Giants to last long into the playoffs is kinda selfish - a lot of my research on motor learning this year is going to focus on baseball swing biomechanics and Bonds has arguably the most efficient swing in the history of the game.
Jeez, it's a quarter to twelve on Friday night and I'm responding to this . . . there's good beer to be drinking and brain cells to be killing. See ya!
