I just finished up recording the interviews for BPR ... great stuff. Allen Barra was classic Barra and Jon Sciambi (PBP-Marlins) was fired up. Jon had some great points and really focuses on Game Three - why am I telling you this when I know everyone will listen in tomorrow? Because, of course, Game Three will be over by then. The Marlins NEED Game Three - to beat Wood, to force the Cubs to win one from Clement or Zambrano, that might just shift the thinking and cause the Cubs to tighten up just a bit. Someone once said that in a close series, the team that's having more fun usually wins.

I got an email from someone very close to Mark Prior that gives me some hope. Prior shut it down a bit after the fourth. Maybe what we saw as fatigue was Prior being smarter than Dusty. I have pretty high confidence in the source which gives me higher confidence in Prior.

It makes me feel better to blog during games, so I'll be on tonight ...
