[Squirrel]

Woohoo. Another run. We're coming back!

[ashbury]

Just tuning in. Yes, they meshed well today.

 

Don't be sarcastic. Not even Doumit's pitch-framing skills could have saved Albers today.

Sarcastic? Moi?

[Squirrel]

Hmm nice catch, Presley.

[Squirrel]

Where'd everyone go?

[IdahoPilgrim]

3 innings in 90 minutes. This is the kind of pace of play that is going to kill the sport dead.

[roger]

Top of the 9th in Rochester, Wings winning 13-3. Norfolk lost 1-0...three outs and the Red Wings are in the playoffs.

A pitch has to get past a hitter for there to be pitch-framing skills to discuss, no?

Mauer's response when he gets back off the DL?

C'mon, who doesn't want to watch two of the worst teams in baseball play a four hour game?

I think SABR is working on a new stat for next year, to compensate for that: Batter-independent pitch framing.

It's better than sitting with my dad at this rehab facility doing nothing

[Squirrel]

Damn it Plouffe

[IdahoPilgrim]

That's it. Rochester is in the playoffs - bring on Pawtucket!

[roger]

Red Wings win, 13-3. Begin the playoffs Wednesday night against the Pawtuckett Red Sox. Speculation is that Cole DeVries will get the start.

The really sucky part is that the Twins still have a chance to come back - so I can't in good conscience turn it off in disgust.

Is this what Terry meant by meaningful games in September?

[big dog]

Twins cut it to 6-4. Let's roll, boys. Swarzak needs a W.

So you'll watch in disgust instead.

It should be 6-5 but it's better than 6-1

I'm thinking of going through sig lines like Ash goes through avatars. This will have a spot in the rotation.

And my man-crush on Dozier just get a little bit worse.

[big dog]

My prediction- the first team to 14 will win this game.

OK. That did it. See ya all.

[ashbury]

It will come down to which team wants it more.

 

/ the first draft pick, that is

[PseudoSABR]

What the heck was that?

[big dog]

Wow! Runners on first and second. Base hit up the middle...for a double play. We end up with no runs scored, two outs, and a man on second. Must be seen to believed. Willingham and Plouffe made like Abbott and Costello.

 

Time for Chief's new sig line...
