Greatest 1,400th post in TD history.

Thanks for noticing.  I didn't.  I try to keep my posting to a slow drawl.  That's how come it's taken this long to get this far.

This game is so bad so far that the only video highlight on mlb.com is Mauer striking out.

[snepp]

74 pitches and 50 strikes thru 6 for Jake.

 

 

Not too shabby.

[mickeymental]

who is this odorizzi fellow and where has he been hiding?

[VATwinsFan]

Austin really does have a nice swing and he smokes the ball on those sadly somewhat infrequent occasions when he actually hits it.

[Circus Boy]

Gimenez! The Tigers can't stop nor contain his azz.

[Danchat]

So... Sano's back in the lineup and 4 for 4 with 4 strikeouts. Boy, it seems he just can't hit anymore. That and he can't stay healthy either.

Bert read my post

81 losses... If we win out, do we avoid a losing season? Or is there a postponed game likely not to be made up because there are no post season implications?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah...

 

Winnah!

 

(It's like we're so used to that these days, it isn't even worth mentioning)
