There&rsquo;s no poetry in watching 350-lb. behemoths do the electric boogaloo after every half-decent play they make; however, there is something quite lyric and literary about a hometown kid throwing his helmet between his legs just as he&rsquo;s about to touch home plate after smacking a homerun that carries his boyhood team to a date with destiny and a decisive Game 7 in the World Serious.<\/p>\n<p>And, really, now, did you honestly think the godsz of baseball were going to let a pitcher with the name of &ldquo;Feldman&rdquo; be immortalized as having recorded the final out in a World Serious clincher? Nevah! Oy gevalt!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Herr Feldman may yet do so tonight! As always, we root for good baseball. As long as it&rsquo;s like last night and the Cardinalsz prevail. Please, you know where to send your bomb threats.<\/p>\n<p>We were going to go on about &ldquo;The Rum Diary&rdquo; and the legacy of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson in today&rsquo;s lede, too; however, the baseball last night was simply too good to go unmentioned. The cinematic adaptation can wait. Baseball is always greater than the Puerto Rican Bowling Leagues, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynthiapublishing.com\/pick.html\">Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Belmont<\/strong> 4, 6, 9<br \/>\n<strong>Calder<\/strong> 4, 5, 10<br \/>\n<strong>Santa Anita<\/strong> 2, 7, 8<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the worst nine ever on offer for the free side.
