I bet he gets better run support too
which means he makes the Twins offense better with his leadership
It could be worse
It could be Clement in center, Yuni DHing and Wlad at short

This seems to have more potential for hilarity.

It also probably has more potential for Strasburg
but the way they’re doing it now isn’t bad either

I was living in Memphis when they were the local band trying to hit it big.
I remember driving in my car one day back up in Alaska and hearing them on the radio. I was like Holy shit Saliva! I was actually proud of them.

Only good line in this movie:

Only good line in that movie:
The entire movie
Wasn't nearly as good as FF1
and FF2 had Tyrese which led to incredible hilarity

I have to admit, that is a tough play for a catcher.
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
When should that ever be the catcher's ball? I don't understand why no one called him off, even if he was calling it
You got a funny shaped glove and the spin of the ball is falling in a way that it’s easier for someone coming in on it.

Beltre really should have taken it IMO.

Great.
Yuni’s bat is starting to “heat up.” Now we’ll never dump him.
Even if he doesn't give up a ton more runs,
his pitch count is high enough where he won’t be able to go 7 innings. It looks like a 5-6 inning start max.
Why is this comment a 'reply'?

He'd be worse at SS.
But I don’t think he hits enough to play third, not at his defensive level.

We're still 3-3, right?
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
Riggleman is letting the young lefties throw a lot of pitches.
I don’t know if 100 pitches is some made up magical pitch limit, but RRS was up around 110-115 his last two starts and Feier just went to 114.
So the score is what now?
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
JI threw me off.
He must have known about the Raul funk blast before it was posted here.

You're being obtuse.
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
Remember when Sean Green was good?
And they didn’t bring him in to face good left handed batters?
And it's not like lefties kill him
Morneau was 1-3 with a single against him before today. Just an off day.
Really, really off.
He's seemed to have an off month
everytime he comes in now he either gives up a run or two or gets in trouble for someone else to bail him out of.
That combined with WAY TOO MUCH rest
before bringing him back. He didn’t pitch for over a week after pitching just about every other day.
Well, stuff happens when I abandon the game.

It may be, but I agree.
Looking at the bright side of losses is one thing, but actively rooting for losses is another.
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
Rooting for losses now = rooting for wins later
So you’re really not rooting for losses at all, you’re rooting for meaningful wins in the future instead of pointless (actually harmful) ones now.
It is another. I happen to think it better. I see far more benefit in losing games this season than winning.
So I root for losses. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me, but I try to avoid chastising those that don’t or somehow insinuating that they are less of a fan than I am. We all want the same thing.
Beltre style?

It's a few weeks old.
And your appeal was denied.
Will replay come into effect here on Thursday as well?

Gomez is as good as Span out there in CF.
by Not Loving Batista on Aug 27, 2008 3:56 PM PDT reply actions
Huh? Gomez is arguably the best CF in baseball, whereas Span is a RF.
Did Gomez just boot a ball or something? Satire would be easier to detect if I wasn’t ‘watching’ this game by refreshing the box score every once in a while.
Damn it.

I know I shouldn't be the one pointing this out
but with this loss the Ms are mathematically eliminated. Strasburg is the prize now.

Huzzah, I can collect my 50 bucks from a coworker.
"All I’ve ever done is be Juan Pierre when I wear this jersey. They’re sticking it to me this year for whatever reason. "
.277/.324/.316

Wait I spoke too soon.
Their E# for the division is now zero. At the start of today, their E# for the wild card was 4. Which means it’s 3 now, and will drop to 2 if the Red Sox win.

I still get 50 bucks.
The bet was weather or not the Mariners would win the division.

I think it did.
Because there’s more than one team ahead of us, the math gets pretty ugly.

So Arizona just got swept by the Padres. Awesome.

And yet despite that, they have lost no ground and are still 3 games up because the Dodgers just lost their 6th in a row.
