With Tom and Barbara, I think I'd be more comfortable if we could just skip to the time when they're the comfy helpful vicarage couple in a village, possibly starring in a Miss Marple film adaptation. The actors don't have chemistry. Also, why for the love of Pete did Tom have to look for his next girlfriend at Nonnatus? I have to think that all the unmarried women in his parish would have been throwing themselves in his path.

So apparently PBS is just cutting all the Delia and Patsy scenes, eh? That makes it a little confusing to potential new viewers when the feature for which they're cutting to make room is all about lesbianism in the sixties.

I don't know what the production crew fed Don and Jerry last night, but they were like giddy five year olds whose parents gave them pure sugar for supper. I dunno if they were in a good mood because the Sox stomped all over Johnny Cueto, or because Don just enjoys hauling out that old photo of him with Vin Scully, or?

Continuity error alert! The scene in which Fred was waxing philosophical about the boiler and how his predecessor had told him he'd have to massage it every day wasn't quite right - because Nonnatus House had moved since the time that Fred started there!

I'm just getting caught up. I bawled like a baby at the scene in which Dr. Turner comes into the living room and finds all the little gifts from his patients.

So, really - who were the almost 9% of voters who did NOT think that Pedro was Hall-worthy?

Well, like every sports writer in America, I am wondering if the Royals can get their momentum back. If they'd won this game, they could have afforded to treat their next game against MadBum with a little more nonchalance. I don't think Big Game James vs MadBum is really a fair fight right now. I'd love to be wrong, though.

John Tomase of the Boston Herald on Twitter: "Prediction: the Royals end up being the 2007 Rockies. They'll blitz to the World Series and then get swept." I can kind of see that, I guess, but I don't remember enough about the '07 Rockies to draw a reasonable comparison. I was working my tail off at a new job that Fall, and I only vaguely remember Jonathan Papelbon doing the Riverdance. Anyway, Tomase? Right or wrong?

I am pleased but pretty astounded that the Royals took both games in Anaheim. In particular, I've been impressed by how well their pitchers have handled Mike Trout. We'll see if the Royals can sustain this, but the K will surely be rocking on Sunday. And following Sung-Woo Lee on Twitter (their Korean superfan) has been entertaining. Random aside: I haven't watched the Angels much this year before now, and I was admiring Angel Stadium's landscaping. "Hey," I thought to myself. "Those rocks with the waterfalls look like something out of a Disney log flume ride." And then I look it up and realize that Disney Imagineering actually DID the renovation for the stadium, so there's a reason for the resemblance!

You know, I might almost be OK with the Angels winning the whole damn enchilada if it would mean they could retire the rally monkey from 2002. It's been 12 years, guys - you need a new gimmick!

For some reason, I can see Nomar agreeing to do it more than Jason Varitek. Jason is busy working as a special assistant to the Red Sox GM. I'm not sure what Nomar is up to. I assume you mean the former Braves catcher and not the current Giants pitcher? I always get them confused! Anyway, sure, I could go for Javy Lopez. I agree he's cute and if I'm remembering correctly, has kind of a cuddly personality?

I've posted this many times on TWoP, but we need a baseball player on DwTS. It's not going to happen with an active player, because the baseball season straddles both the Fall and Spring DwTS seasons. So, then a retired player. I know he's polarizing for some people, but I always thought Nomar Garciaparra (ex-Red Sox shortstop) would mesh well with the DwTS demo. Plus his wife is Mia Hamm. George Brett, the best Kansas City Royal ever, would also float my boat, but he's 61 and apparently has some orthopedic issues. But he does have some current cred because the Lorde song "Royal" was inspired by his picture. I would die if they could ever get Pedro Martinez (soon to be a Hall of Fame pitcher), but I"m probably dreaming there.

Ermagawd, did Kenny Ortega just really tell Derek that he'd redefined choreography for his generation? Head to desk moment right now.

Honestly, I don't really think I'd even miss Jenny if she just stayed permanently at the mother house and decided to join the order.

Ugh, I just don't think I can take it if Derek wins for a third season in a row. Surprisingly, I have warmed back up to Mark for the first time since Kristi's season, I think.
