Jeff Sullivan: Hey guys

Jeff Sullivan: A world champion was decided last week. Now that feels like forever ago!

Comment From Marty
Where do you see Ellsbury landing? Is Seattle the favorite based on what you’ve heard?

Jeff Sullivan: Let me put it like this:

Jeff Sullivan: I don’t think the Mariners are going to sign Ellsbury, but I think the Mariners are the most likely individual team to sign Ellsbury.

Jeff Sullivan: Need’s there, money’s there, willingness to overpay is probably there

Eno Sarris: see you at the top of the hour

Eno Sarris: lyrics of the day are totally inane but still germane

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there’s air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

Eno Sarris: Okay, let’s get… intimate.

Comment From person hscer
It’s the offseason! And Eno’s chatting! Regularly?

Eno Sarris: We’ll see.

Comment From Sadwick
A wild Eno appears!!!!

Dave Cameron: It could be the final day of the 2013 season. Cardinals try to live another day, Red Sox try to win it all again.

Dave Cameron: This should be fun.

Comment From Jaack
It could be the end of the Tim McCarver era as well!

Comment From chuckb
Which number is larger — the % chance that Matheny leaves Wacha in too long or the % chance that Ortiz wins the MVP?

Dave Cameron: 100% = 100%.

Comment From Aussie Mariner
If the Cards come back to win the series in these two games and one of their hitters goes all Freese like, do you think he could win the MVP over Ortiz? What would it take for a Cardinal to win it at this point?

Dave Cameron: The baseball season could end tonight. Let’s talk World Series. Or off-season stuff.

Dave Cameron: And, despite the hypocrisy because of my “no fantasy questions” rule, I’m going to plug my own fantasy league for a second. I started an Ottoneu league two years ago to help raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. In the last two years, we’ve raised about $8,000 for cancer research. Now, the league has two openings, and we’re auctioning them off to the people who will offer to make the largest donations to TNT.

Dave Cameron: If you’re interested in joining the league, send a tweet to @dcameronfg stating how much you’d be willing to donate to get one of the two teams. Once we have a list of bidders, I’ll send those folks more information.

Dave Cameron: Okay, let’s get this thing started. We may be looking at a shortened chat again today, as the puppy might have to take a trip to the vet this afternoon if she doesn’t stop throwing up and start showing some energy.

Dave Cameron: But I’ll be back tonight for the Game 6 live blog, so there should be hours of time to hang out later.

Comment From JEB
World Series? End tonight? With Wacha on the mound? Nawwwwwwww.

Jeff Sullivan: Hey all. Late today because whatever

Jeff Sullivan: It was a late night and I don’t have enough respect for you to show up four minutes ago

Comment From Justin
Hey, it’s 12:04, time for the Sullivan chat!

Jeff Sullivan: It matters!

Comment From Bret
Farrell or Matheny – who would you rather manage your team?

Jeff Sullivan: Farrell, because I’d be in the AL and there would be fewer opportunities for managerial mistakes

David Temple: Hello, all. Jeff should be here shortly. Get your questions in now.

Jeff Sullivan: I’m right here guys

Jeff Sullivan: I got confused because David opened this before I did

Jeff Sullivan: WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO DO THAT

David Temple: Early bird and whatnot

Jeff Sullivan: oh right I did

Dan Szymborski: Coming up on Dateline Monday, hardball veteran reporter Dan Szymborski tackles the disappearance of Shelby Miller. Why are the Cardinals covering up Shelby Miller’s disappearance near Howland Island? Is he working for the NPB? Or has the NSA blackmailed him into going into hiding?

Comment From GSon
Better WS, 2013 or 1997 with all the quirky plays?

Dan Szymborski: 2013’s been great fun

Dan Szymborski: 1986 is still my favorite.

Comment From Guest
Who’s going to win the series Dan? WHO IS IT?

Dan Szymborski: Still have Red Sox.

Brad Johnson: Good luck getting to sleep after that one. Bye all.

Wendy Thurm: OK friends. Got to get my kids to bed, I’m out. See ya around the twitters.

Brad Johnson: The funny thing is that I agree. With a slow lefty up and Koji on the hill, your best bet is to get the hitter

Comment From Josh
I like the part where McCarver said the Red Sox shouldn’t hold the runner. That was cool.

Brad Johnson: A risk anytime you bring in a reliever. Especially a sinkerballer, even a slight miss in location can lead to terrible results.

Comment From Frank
Watching the Gomes shot again, wow Maness just missed there. Should never be that far up with his stuff.

Matt Klaassen: Welcome to my first chat in… a long time. That’s just how desperate things are around here: I’m running a chat on a Saturday night World Series Game. Send ’em in and we’ll get going pretty soon.

Comment From Sgt. Pepper
Provide content damn it

Comment From BH
How many grandmothers will be startled when OU/Texas Tech suddenly starts airing on Fox News at 6:30 CDT?

Comment From Z S
Hi Matt, what do you think of Kelly getting the nod for game 3 over Lance Lynn (and the long lost Shelby Miller, for that matter)?

Matt Klaassen: Well, I think Lynn is better than Kelly, but obviously Matheny likes Kelly here. There is objective evidence that Miller may have been gassed near the end of the season, and the Cardinals seem to agree.

Dave Cameron: I think James Taylor just sang the wrong song…

Comment From Sgt. Pepper
WHY DOES AMERICA NEED SO MANY SONGS

Comment From AJT
BECAUSE AMERICA

Comment From DCinSTL
Because… ‘Merica!

Comment From Helladecimal
I love American. Mass obesity has its charms

Dave Cameron: For those wondering, no Sullivan tonight, but Zimmerman might swing by later to keep our Jeff quota going.
