I looked this up the other day when it came up ... we were 4th behind the Nats, Phillies and Cubs ... but that could have changed since then

Thank you. I'm honestly surprised. They must be ticked off and suffering just like we are. 

[stringer bell]

I’ll write this before Chief responds—“yes”.

DPs made, or GIDP? Because what I said above was for GIDP, which is what I thought you meant ... and I looked again, we passed the Cubs and are tied with the Phillies. Nats still lead.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

Prediction: he'll put two runners on before inducing the third out when Pache swings and misses at ball four.

Yes...GIDP's. Well, at least we can't hit into one right here. There's two outs!

Nothing interesting, at least compared to the **** storm about to happen in the top of the ninth.

Isn't that like, a flagrant foul for taunting?

 

How long does he go to the penalty box for that?

Oh no! You've just negated the reverse jinx! Now Pagan is going to lose the game for us!

[glunn]

Gordon should have called that.

And so it begins. Maybe it would be best for me to avert my eyes.

 

[stringer bell]

[Aggies7]
