Rat trap
The Arizona Diamondbacks had a suspicious visitor to their dugout during Game 3 of the World Series: a rat.
A very large rat.
"It was a steroid rat," Diamondbacks first baseman Mark grace said Wednesday before Game 4. "He wasn't hurting anyone, he was just hanging around."
The rat, who was loitering in the area where manager Bob Brenly stands, caught the attention of the players on the bench. The out of towners called for police assistance.
"We thought he was bugged," Grace said, speculating on how far the Yankees would go for a win. "They threw a box over him and got him out of there."
Yankee Stadium isn't the only ballpark to have a vermin problem. The players mentioned Wrigley Field, Shea Stadium and, of course, the Astrodome, where cats were kept around to catch rats.
The rat was not available for comment.

In all seriousness Phoenix, it was Kim's fault. . . 100%. . . funny cause he always struggles with 2 outs in a game. . . he has his moments:
I remember in a Colorado game earlier this season when Kim came in the 9th inning to finish a game as the DBacks had a one run lead. First batter comes up and Kim gives up a homer. . . game tied. Next batter comes up. . . you guessed it. . . homer to win the game.
Kim is a funny guy. . . never know what can happen when he's trying to close a game.

Yankees always find a way to win... Can never count them out, only wish I had put my money on them, would have had a heart attack with the way this game ended up though...
Great series, who are the pitchers for game 5?

Phenom,
Always nice to sit back and not have to worry about your money on a particular side though right? Especially in this classic. . .
Mussina for New York against Bautista for Arizona. . . advantage for game 5 is clearly New York. . . can only hope its a great game like tonight!

It was great, I was out, drinking as much as I could, after the Yanks went down 3-1, I was pissed... I really hope the rest of the games are as good as this one. It was weird, everyone at the bar was partying hard for Halloween, then when Martinez hit the home run, it seemed like everyone stopped and were staring at the TV for the next 1/2 hour.. How it should be...
