This is the first time the presentations of the Gold Gloves has been televised, and I expect there will be a lot of flashy plays on display. If you're watching and want to chat about the program, winners, and losers, you can do it here.
Let's go Matt, J.J., and Nick!
World Series Game Seven: Rangers @ Cardinals, 8:05 PM

Today is definitely the last day of baseball season. It's a little sad. Do you think the Rangers feel really stupid today? Not only because they blew a bajillion leads last night, but also because they are sending Matt Harrison out to pitch game seven against Chris Carpenter? Where is C.J. Wilson?
In case you miss our old friend Gary Thorne, here he is calling last night's walk off for ESPN radio. I hope you don't feel too jealous when you hear him having a Thornegasm for another team.

Right now I'm watching a feature on the so-called Rally Squirrel in St. Louis, complete with its own theme song. If that's not reason enough to root for the Rangers, I don't know what is.

For those of you who watched Ron Washington last night leave Mike Gonzalez in to face Albert Pujols, you might be wondering if that man has any business managing any major league baseball team, much less one in the World Series. Maybe only the Orioles fans watching knew exactly what would happen in that situation.
Tonight the Rangers will try to bounce back from their embarrassing loss with...Derek Holland? Verses Edwin Jackson? Don't pitchers start on three days rest any more in the world series? What on earth?

The series is tied at 1-1. Here are some facts about tonight's game, which, since it's being played on a Saturday night, will presumably not be inconveniencing the Fox network's programming:
* Josh Hamilton is hurt and will continue batting 3rd.
* The combined career ERA of the starters in tonight's game is 9.13. (Kyle Lohse: 4.64; Matt Harrison: 4.49)
* Free agent-to-be Albert Pujols had a .906 OPS during the regular season, which was the lowest of his career. The highest OPS on the Orioles belonged to Mark Reynolds, who had an .806.
* The over/under on number of lone star flags seen before you hate the very concept of Texas on a metaphysical level is 9.5.
* Mike Napoli was traded for Vernon Wells. Napoli 2011 regular season slash line: .320/.414/.631. Wells slash line: .218/.248/.412. Guaranteed money still due to Wells: $63,000,000.
* The game is being played in Texas, meaning we probably should not have any intentional walks to Nick Punto inflicted upon us, but really, who knows what these managers will decide, because they are in the pressure cooker, the narrative lens of "Is Tony LaRussa a genius?" is turned to them, and the act of observing disturbs the observed.
* No member of the Boston Red Sox will be participating in this contest due to Robert Andino. That's not really germane to the game itself, but it still makes me a little happy.
