Things I learned during Game 3

For a 3-0 World Series, every game has been really close. This reminds me of the 2000 Subway Series, the Yankees beat the Mets 4-1 but no one won a game by more than 2 runs. Anyways, throughout the duration of the game I learned a lot of things (instead of Biochemistry, which I was supposed to be learning).

• Not only is FOX shamelessly self-promotional, they keep track of how many times they promote their own shows (it was something like 24 times during the first 12 innings, and by the way, don't forget to check out the new season of 24!).
  
• The Astros offense might be worse than the Pirates. From the bottom of the 9th through the bottom of the 14th, White Sox pitchers walked 8 batters. Keep that in mind when you hear about what a lights out job their bullpen did in this World Series. The truth is, they were awful last night, some of them couldn't throw a strike to save their lives. The Astros offense was just that bad.
• The Florida Panthers have more black players than the Houston Astros (the Pens were on OLN last night). I'm not the only one who noticed, either.
  
• Ozzie Guillen has a much better feel for managing than Phil Garner. Garner couldn't have handled his pitching staff worse last night if he just left Oswalt out there forever... oh, wait, a second. He didn't even bother to visit Oswalt in the middle of the worst inning of his life, 40+ pitches, 5 hits, a walk, a hit batsman, and 5 runs. He just hung him out to dry. He only let Lidge throw 17 pitches when it was obvious he had his stuff back. Pulling Lidge early lead to Ezequiel Astacio pitching in the 14th (where was Backe? If Clemens is good to go for Game 5 he's good to go for Game 4). Astacio is flat out awful, worse than Wandy Rodriguez even. Ozzie, meanwhile, pushed all the right buttons including bringing out Mark Buerhle to get the last out (of course if Houston could hit the ball, it wouldn't look like Ozzie pushed the right buttons at all). Win today has to be the mantra in the playoffs. Garner was too concerned about tomorrow.
  
• I'm the 15th match on Google for the phrase Ezequiel Astacio face disease. I can assure you that the first time that phrase has appeared on this blog is directly above you. I see some strange searches that lead people here, but that one takes the cake.
  
• That "What If" Gatorade commercial with Jordan missing "The Shot", Jeter being a split second slow on "The Flip" and Craig dropping "The Catch" is one of my favorite commercials of the year. So cool, and so much better than Prision Break hype.
  
• Did I mention that McCarver, Chris Meyers, Scooter, "Right Now", Prision Break commercials, and FOX in general drive me insane?
