The Cubs Win
An epic game that smacked of the inevitable as well as a strange kind of baseball melodrama. The Indians refused to go away and the Cubs refused to relinquish the game; the curses of both teams seemed to refuse to give up trying to make their team lose, and at parity in the 9th inning, it started to rain.
Cubs winning for the first time in 108 years is surreal to say the least. One would think that a big market team like the Cubs would have had their way far more often than not, but it seems they have been - historically speaking - rather bad for most part of major league history. Far from any wining culture, cut away from forming any traditions, the Cubs seemingly drifted through the Twentieth Century, contending only on small stretches.
'Back To the Future II' was off by one year - it was supposed to be 2015 when the Cubs won, but they did get the 1997 Marlins right.
The Indians Lose
The Indians were also dighting their own 68year hoodoo and it wasn't to be. It's already time to say "wait until next year", and they might indeed be even better next year than this year. They will have Michael Brantley back, as well as having their core of young stars grow another year. Francisco Lindor gets a lot of love being a 5-6win player but the man I'm really impressed with is Jose Ramirez. Then, there are the injured pitchers Carasco and Salazar, who together with Kluber will likely dominate the AL Central. Chances are very good they'll contend and make the playoffs, and if they can keep the players healthy, they'll be as big a threat next year as they were this year.
While the Indians lost, they didn't exactly fold or give it away. They stood their ground and made a fantastic showing right through.
A Game For The Ages
That was some Game 7. You could see both Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman were at the end of their effectiveness. There was no running away with it behind a powerful closer. The Cubs weren't exactly the '98 Yankees, and the Indians weren't exactly the '60 Pirates.
Anyway, it was a game with so many memorable moments, I'm pretty sure people will be talking about it forever; how the Indians were very, very good, but the Cubs had just an abundance of talent that got hot at the right time, when pushed to the brink.
The weird thing about the Cubs is that they'll no longer be the loveable losers, they'll be just like any other team. Except maybe the Padres.
Anyway, what a game that was.

World Series Game 5
Well, that was tense, and then it all blew out in the top of the 12th. The most contentious thing about this loss is that going into the 9th, the Mets were winning 2-1. Matt Harvey was pitching a gem; Collins had his closer up and suddenly there was this shuffle of whether to pull Harvey or not. Harvey apparently instead on going out in the 9th, walked the first guy and then gave up a double. Collins pulled Harvey only then, but it was too late, that was enough for the Royals to tie the game, thus setting up a duel of bullpens. 3 innings later, the Mets blinked, and by blink we might mean completely shut their eyes because the Royals poured on 5 runs. Davis came in to strike out the side and that was all she wrote for 2015.
Collins is going to get grilled about that 9th inning choice for the rest of his career. Had it been Joe Torre, he would have pulled any one of his starters for Mariano Rivera, so as a Yankees fan, it's a little hard to understand how Collins could even flip one way and let Harvey go back out in the 9th. Even Joe Girardi would have sent out Dellin Betances or Andrew Miller, and before Miller, David Robertson and or Mo. It reminds one of Grady Little sticking with Pedro Martinez a little too long in 2003.
The top of the 12th featured yet another error for Daniel Murphy. Daniel Murphy got didley-squat to hit in the World Series - the Royals pitched around him as if he were peak Barry Bonds so Murphy ended up drawing a bunch of walks. the real shame was how everybody else was very quiet with the bats. When it really got down to it, the Royals really could hit bullpen arms like nobody's business, and there was no stopping these guys.
Still, 30years is a long time between World Series wins for the Royals. That goes equally for the Mets who last won it in 1986.
The GST Scuttlebutt
One shouldn't be surprised that the GST debate is back on the agenda as the Federal Government seeks to raise the GST. The old arguments against putting in the GST in the first place have resurfaced, pointing out how regressive a tax it is, but in many ways the Federal government can't restructure taxation in this country without addressing the GST.
The curious thing about the GST is that in its original guise, it was meant to usher in a reform of taxes back in the late 1990s, but of course nearly two decades later the government finds itself short of cash again, and so we must contemplate the GST once more. You really wonder where all the money got squandered.
The original version of the GST skipped food, health and education. It appears part of this exemption has come back on the table for reconsideration. This gives rise to a four way grid between keeping the GST at 10% or raising to 15%, with or without the exemption of food, Health & Education. One imagines the Libs would like to raise the GST to 15% while keeping the exemption while the ALP would like to keep the GST at 10% even if it meant losing the exemption. Put more bluntly, the rich bastards who send their kids to expensive private schools would much rather have a 15% GST and keep the private school fees off the GST discussion. If you saw them yourself, you'd understand why.
The ALP has far less of a worthy position on it. The last three times there have been discussions on the GST, whether it was Keating's 'Option C' in 1985 or John Hewson's Fightback, or John Howard finally bringing us the GST, it's not really had a economically credible position in opposing it except to say it was regressive and they were against it. When it finally came in, they said they wouldn't repeal it, and such has been the ALP's rather wishy-washy position on it.
Of course, there isn't a good position on it. It's all going to cost the average punter more; that's the point of all this tax review and shoring up government income. Either way it goes, we know the GST price rise is coming and there's probably very little we can do to stop it. The states simply need that money.

Couldn't Stand The Weather
The news today is that this October was the hottest on record in 106years.
"The extreme monthly anomalies were a result of exceptional early-season warmth at the start of the month and persistence of above-average temperatures throughout the month as a whole," the bureau said.
Compared with the previous warmest October in 1988, last month was 0.7 degrees warmer.
"Certainly it's an October that was hotter than most Novembers," Karl Braganza, head of climate monitoring at the bureau. The national mean temperature came in at 25.6 degrees.Make of that what you will.

The World Series Game 2
For the first time in a decade, I was able to sit down with my father and watch the World Series. The post-season used to be more fun in the late 1990s and the early 2000s when the Yankees were there almost inevitably, and with good teams even if they didn't win. This year's post-season didn't work out well for the Yankees who were one-and-done as they bowed out to the Astros, who then lost to the Royals. What can I say, if you don't hit, you can't win.
Anyway, it occurred to me that there aren't too many World Series left where I could sit down with my father and take in the game. Who knows what my circumstances will be next year, and having just turned a venerable eighty, there are far more MLB post-seasons in the rear mirror than ahead for my father. It was just good old family stuff I've been missing out on because I've been at the Events Lighting company all these years. It's nicety get off the carousel of work and experience family life.
Game 2 was notable for Johnny Cueto pitching a complete game 2-hitter for the Royals. The first guy to do so since Greg Maddux in 1995. The Mets looked like they were never going to hit off Cueto. They also looked terrible in the field. The Yankees outplayed the Mets this year and the hallmark of those games were the errors the Mets made when put in the crunch, which allowed the Yankees to get on top. The Mets didn't look to have improved with the glove since the Subway series, so it's really not looking good for them as they fell to 0-2.
A 2-hitter is a terrible thing, given the context where you're botching it up in the field. Curtis Granderson looked out of sorts with the bat; David Wright looked like he couldn't hit a watermelon travelling at 92mph; Yoenis Cespedes looked like he was drowning in a deep slump; and Daniel Murphy who might be the Mets' hottest hitter right now, went 2 strike outs, 2 walks, and no hits. What can I say, if you don't hit, you can't win.
Sort Of Unrelated...
I went to see Fleetwood Mac on the weekend with Walk-Off HBP. At some point during the concert he offered the opinion that some of the songs were a little too sexy and jarring to be sung by a 70year old (Stevie Nicks is actually 67, but you get the drift). I offered up the counter opinion that Fleetwood Mac were like Wilmer Flores, the shortstop for the Mets. Quite serviceable but it's not like he's A-Rod or Jeter or Nomar. Fleetwood Mac are quite a serviceable pop rock band, but it's not like they're Led Zep or The Who or Pink Floyd.
I tried writing up a crit for Fleetwood mac, but couldn't be bothered finishing it. Ultimately, I feel I've got them well pegged as the Wilmer Flores of rock music.
From The Reading List
I'm still working my way through Piketty's 'Capital in the 21st Century' on my Kindle. It's actually too big a book to have on Kindle in my opinion, as it is hard to reference multiple pages on the fly, unlike a physical book.
I'm also muddling through 'Who Owns The Future' by Jaron Lanier but I've also picked up 'Ill Fares The Land' by Tony Judt. Amazingly, all three of these books cover the rise of the post-war middle class as a historic anomaly. Piketty demonstrates that it was indeed anomalous through figures; Lanier arrives at it through the weight of anecdotal evidence he has gathered, and Judt goes through the philosophical ructions that led to heavily socialist programs to limit wealth disparity after the two world wars.
While it may be the zeitgeist that we are discussing wealth disparity and inequality in a way we haven't up to now. The Reaganomic and Thatcherite economic program of deregulation and privatisation have essentially undone the efforts of the post-World War II thinkers, politicians an institutions, so it insult natural to see a return to the sort o wealth disparity and inequality we saw in the 1920s. Perhaps this is even why we've seen TV productions such as 'Boardwalk Empire' which brought the disparity in the late 1910s and early 1920s into sharp focus, as well as 'Mad Men' which delineates the pinnacle of society where there was much less wealth disparity and inequality, albeit with terrible, inexcusable sexism.
It may not seem to be an immediately solvable problem, but if politicians don't address these problems soon, they're going to make conditions for the rise of extremist ideologies once again. Dare I say we may even be seeing it already, given that we did elect Tony Abbott to be prime minister, and even after having been removed, he's proven himself to be ideologically indistinguishable from being a flat out fascist.
The Lanier book is particularly instructive in telling us that the creative destruction of capitalism as described by Schumpeter doesn't reconstitute itself in a more egalitarian society, but that it reorganises itself to suit ever smaller numbers of people with the accumulated wealth concentrating in ever fewer people. The Judt book is a little more disturbing in that it dissects the ideological roots of economic thought that has led us to our present day and it is clear that the welfare state that gave rise to a middle class could only offer one-size-fits-all solution, when in fact the middle class got accustomed to being consumers and consumers necessarily demand choice. In the case politics, this descended into the fragmenting New Left of the 1970s centred around a misunderstanding of Marxism and the proliferation of identity politics. meanwhile the return of the Right is merely a self-justification of those with wealth to justify their disproportionate wealth built on the destruction of the middle class.
In other words, the futures bleak, the past was bleak and the present is like a meatloaf going cold on the table. Piketty's massive tome merely gives us the numbers on just how bleak the past was and why, and the likely bleakness of the future based on the slowly dying consensus of today.

Baseball Wraps Up for 2005
88 Years Since Shoeless Joe
The Chicago White Sox beat their 88 year hoodoo and won the World Series in a 4 game sweep of the Houston Astros. It's been a longtime between drinks, going back to a team that had such notable 'Black Sox as Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Ciccote, and Buck Weaver.
Bobby Valentine And The Chiba Lotte Marine Sweep Tigers
Okay, so 31 is much smaller than 88 or 86, but it's long enough to be a hoodoo of sorts.
Bobby V, former manager of the NY Mets who saw the Mets to the 2000 World Series (and lost to the Yanks) has been helming the Chiba Lotte Marines this year and has led them to their first Japan Series win in 31years. The Marines swept the Hanshin Tigers of Osaka.
They love the man over there, and as the MLB clubs looking for managers eye Bobby V once more, Lotte are trying to keep Bobby for the long term.
Cashman Stays
So after all that deliberation, Brian Cashman has decided he'll go another 3 years in the Yankee circus to a tune of 5.5million dollars. I'd do it too.
The Northern Summer is well and truly done in deep October. I think it's time to seriously watch some Cricket now. :)
The Chicago White Sox beat their 88 year hoodoo and won the World Series in a 4 game sweep of the Houston Astros. It's been a longtime between drinks, going back to a team that had such notable 'Black Sox as Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Ciccote, and Buck Weaver.
HOUSTON, Oct. 26 - The baseball gods were merciless once, inflicting decades of sorrow on a franchise for one fateful mistake. They would sit in that mystical corner of sports heaven, firing thunderbolts at teams like the Chicago White Sox, who threw the World Series in 1919 and have defined mediocrity ever since.You can't fault that. The way these things go, it'll be the Cubs who are 97 years and counting, moaning about he curse of the goat and poor Steven Bartman.
All these years later, it turns out the gods have a heart, after all. How else to explain what happened at Minute Maid Park on Wednesday night, when the White Sox beat the Houston Astros, 1-0, in Game 4 of the World Series to clinch their first championship since 1917?
"I felt all 88 of those years," said the White Sox' owner, Jerry Reinsdorf. "I think I even felt the years that the Cubs haven't won on my shoulders."
The crosstown Cubs are more lovable and more popular than the White Sox have ever been, and they have gone 97 years and counting since their last championship. Maybe now their time will come.
Last October, the Boston Red Sox exorcised their demons in strikingly similar fashion to the White Sox. With no titles since 1918 - two years before they sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees - the Red Sox finally captured the World Series by winning their last eight postseason games.
Likewise, the White Sox followed four consecutive victories in the American League Championship Series with a four-game sweep of the Astros, whose anemic offense could hardly touch the White Sox' pitching.
Bobby Valentine And The Chiba Lotte Marine Sweep Tigers
Okay, so 31 is much smaller than 88 or 86, but it's long enough to be a hoodoo of sorts.
Bobby V, former manager of the NY Mets who saw the Mets to the 2000 World Series (and lost to the Yanks) has been helming the Chiba Lotte Marines this year and has led them to their first Japan Series win in 31years. The Marines swept the Hanshin Tigers of Osaka.
ボビーが甲子園で舞った—。プロ野球の日本一を決める日本シリーズは２６日、甲子園球場で第４戦を行い、ロッテが１９７４年以来、３１年ぶりの日本一に輝いた。４戦４勝での日本一は０２年の巨人以来、史上５度目。米国人として初めて日本一の栄冠を手にしたボビー・バレンタイン監督（５５）は目に涙をためて「素晴らしいですね。このチームは一番です！」と力強く叫んだ。最高殊勲選手には８打席連続安打のシリーズ記録をマークした今江敏晃内野手が選ばれた。日本シリーズを制したロッテは、１１月１０日から東京ドームで開催される「アジアシリーズ２００５」でアジアの王者を目指す。Indeed , the Marines simply thumped the Tigers in the first 3 games, scoring more than 10 runs in each (10-0; 10-1; 10-0) and then edged out a 3-2 win to close out the series.
「あの感触は一生、忘れない」と話した歓喜の胴上げからわずか９日。一度経験を積んで心の準備ができていたボビー・バレンタイン監督（５５）は気持ちよさそうに３回、宙に舞った。プロ野球７１年の歴史で初めての米国人監督による日本一。静まりかえった甲子園に“チバ、ロッテ、マリーンズ”の大合唱が響いた。
「スバラシイ、コノチームハ、イチバンデス」。たどたどしい日本語で、精いっぱいのメッセージを伝える。黄色一色で埋め尽くされた甲子園に「ここは世界の野球の聖地。阪神ファンが日本で一番多いことを実感させられた。でも、ロッテのファンが最高です」
４試合での最多得点３３をはじめ、攻撃面で６個の新記録を樹立したシリーズ。毎日打線を組み替えた“ボビー・マジック”がさく裂した。その姿勢は日本一を目前にした第４戦でも変わらなかった。第３戦で５番に座らせたベニーを外して、李承ヨプ（イ・スンヨプ）を起用したことが当たった。
They love the man over there, and as the MLB clubs looking for managers eye Bobby V once more, Lotte are trying to keep Bobby for the long term.
Cashman Stays
So after all that deliberation, Brian Cashman has decided he'll go another 3 years in the Yankee circus to a tune of 5.5million dollars. I'd do it too.
Cashman's current contract expires Monday, and the Yankees cannot announce the new deal until after the World Series, a high-ranking baseball official said yesterday in Houston, site of Game 4 of the World Series last night.A lot has been said about Brian Cashman but one thing is clear, Yankee fans actually wanted him back and that says a great deal about the support he enjoys in the Big Apple.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because baseball commissioner Bud Selig prohibits teams from making major announcements during the Series. The deal with Cashman still has not been finalized, the official added.
With the decisions of Cashman and manager Joe Torre to stay with the Yankees, New York can start on its offseason moves next week. It appears the Yankees' first priority will be to re-sign outfielder Hideki Matui, who is eligible for free agency.
New York also has a deal that is all-but-finalized with former San Diego and Philadelphia manager Larry Bowa, who would become third-base coach.
The Northern Summer is well and truly done in deep October. I think it's time to seriously watch some Cricket now. :)
