Just can't beat KC...........

That's right, we played poorly against them last year too. Maybe that was a sign?

Surprised to see they are 7-9 vs KC this year and 5-5 last year, seems like it was way worse,,,,

The premise of this game thread is Danchat is running a simulated game with statistical similarities to the real world, but based otherwise on chance.

 

And he reports what happens each inning concurrently.

 

That way we get a choice of which game to follow.

Gonna miss Buxton,,,,Wish they would just pay the guy.

They still might. After all, they avoided arbitration last off season(s).

Negotiations are complex.

I bet agents are like wizards, in that they are subtle and quick to anger.

And if i am not always alertly following the now 9-4 game with runners at the corners with 1 out in the bottom of the 6th, it is because i just got a sequel to The Skinner, a scifi book by Neal Asher i recently finished.

 

Er... 10-4 on a squeeze. They didn't get the runner at home...

Cooking it seems like a bad idea...

 

And i appreciate bad ideas as much as the next TD poster, but i would be sad to see harm come to this work of art.
