We used to do these in parking lots in winter, but we called them donuts

It's cheating if you need snow/ice to do those!  

Dry pavement is the way!

I do not understand the decision to pull Gray. Did he appear to be injured?

You aren’t new here are you?

[RickOShea]

Off hand, I can't think of a current manager who looks at quality over quantity when it comes to make a decision concerning his starting pitchers.  I'm sure there is, somewhere.

And not with the game on the line.

Don't care for the runner on 2nd baloney.

...But it's ok when the batter goes yard!

I don’t know anyone who does, really. At least not the fans. I think the players like it or at the least indifferent to it

First two batters of the 7th inning reached.  Rocco made his move.

Gray has complained about that before, and I would think that this season he has earned some leeway. It will be interesting to see what Rocco says in the postgame interview.

Keep up the good karma work.

I’m afraid to say anything in case I jinx it … and if that was a jinx, I’m doing to anti-jinx spell right now!

So, you’re saying there’s still hope?

Maybe so.

So now you're whipping up spells and potions?  How do you find time for the game?!?!?

And laundry … I’m a master at multi-tasking!

Not really, but I’m really good at faking that

[tlkriens]

Please put Duran back out for the 10th. He can throw 30 pitches. It's fine. They had the same situation a month ago in Boston in extra innings and Moran blew it.

Send Duran back out to finish this?

I hope they have some Gypsy tears in the dugout!

I’m scared to watch … maybe I should now move my washed laundry to the dryer and good things will happen and I will miss them all
