THE ALCS GAME 3 WAS POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN. HOWEVER HERE ARE A FEW THINGS ABOUT WHAT SOME PLAYERS DID LAST NIGHT IN DETROIT:
1. Miguel Cabrera, Delmon Young, Prince Fielder, and Jose Valverde went back to third base coach Gene Lamont’s house and worked on their rendition of the national anthem barbershop quartet style for tonight’s game. They also ate 12 pizzas and had some cheesecake.
2. Jim Leyland yelled at kids to get off his lawn while he put up some early Halloween decorations for his wife.
3. Alex Rodriguez went with Derek Jeter to the Motor City Casino and put ten thousand dollars on the Tigers for game #4.

Last night’s rain soaked game in St. Louis was, well, rainy. But that didn’t stop the Cardinal bench from soaking up a victory off of Giant pitcher Matt Cain in game 3 of the NLCS. Matt Carpenter carved out the go ahead run with a blast over the right field wall. Even though Cardinal pitchers didn’t have their best stuff, their defense got them out of some tight jams. After Beltran went out of the game, Carpenter picked up the slack with the wood, which has always been hot against Cain. 16 of the last 21 teams to lead in a series two games to one have gone onto the World Series. These teams definitely have a distaste for one another, and you can feel it just watching the game. I like the Giants to tie up the series tonight with game #5 going back to the Cardinals. St. Louis is really a bunch of grinders and refuse to give up, and that is what makes them different from last season’s team, their fun to watch.
