Surpassed the August 2011 win total. Hooray.
Good game, boys
Wait! Is that a break in the clouds? A ray of light shines down, with the promise of better times to come.
Suddenly the world feels a little better.
Glass Half Full Comment of the Day: All's well that ends well.
That Mauer robbed HR just cost me a chance at the $1000 in my fantasy league.
I've said before that I'm not ready to anoint Glen Perkins the closer role, but since his last blown save he's run a nice sequence of 16 games with a 2.16 ERA; he's given up runs but not in close games where it cost anything. Closing out a one-run game against a top team today is a nice accomplishment. I'm very hopeful my earlier view that 2011 was a career year for him turns out wrong by several seasons' worth.
I know I've seen that somewhere before...Quote:

Not as certain about De Vries, IMHO his performance has earned himself a major league contract and a chance to compete for a spot in '13.
My list for September callups: Carson and Dozier return. Slama and Vasquez get a look (one open spot + a Gray DFA), Arcia gets rewarded for his awesome season with a chance to impress. I suppose Walters will be brought back and Capps, too, if he can throw the ball straight and over 90 mph.
If you like fastballs with no movement, they should bring back Willie Banks.Quote:
