We're poor little lambs who have lost our way

Doomed from here to eternity

Lord have mercy on such as we

Baa, baa, baa

Over and out, even though I hear they don't use either any more...

PH Mauer here?

I glanced occasionally at the game and wondered also why not Mauer with two on in the eighth. He batted with two out and none on in the ninth instead.
