  1. I don't know the purposes behind this rule governing the AFL, but a move like this one to circumvent it suggests that the rules may get changed next time the powers-that-be sit down to think about things.
  2. It was momentary fun and I got caught up in it too. In fact it was the play that had the most statistical impact on the game's outcome. But his other two plate appearances were easy outs to the outfield. I didn't pay enough attention to his swing, but if he's still uppercutting the ball, he's going to finish out the season as he started it, with a low batting average that doesn't produce power often enough to compensate. With his speed, line drives ought to be the goal, so that the occasional ball goes out of the park when he hits it a little too high and he has a chance to leg out a single when he hits it a little too low. I think the problem continues to be pitch recognition - is the uppercut intended to partially compensate for the ball being perennially below where he thinks it will be? I'm no batting coach, though.
  3. Welp, three innings or so, still to go. These West Coast games are too much for me. Have to leave it to the rest of you to bring this game home.
  4. Gah, Bremer going on and on about Buxton's speed getting to that flare that pretty much any outfielder except Willingham would have reached.
  5. Shhhh! We didn't want him to find the awful jokes at his expense buried on page.... well, we didn't.
  6. Maybe if they stopped rewarding teams for lighting the fire, those teams would try harder to put a good product on the field.
  7. I was pretty sure you did, and I wanted to be clear.
  8. Ah yes, Ian "Mr Falsetto" Stewart, the juggler.
  9. Careful. I got caught in a jinx, going down that route an inning or two ago.
  10. “It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precioussssss.”
  11. You've heard of ROM on a computer, Read Only Memory? Game Threads are the answer to that. Write Only Memory.
  12. Yes, that was the gist of the discussion. Do not trouble yourself to read it in detail, you will merely confirm my statement.
  13. "White Sox announcer, give me your tears."
  14. I'll have some of what Scott's having. And then, pour it down the drain. Too strong for me, I'm confident.
  15. Impressive pornstar mustache on Tyler Saladino.
  16. I am known for my speedy results. Mea culpa. I have no idea what to expect, the rest of this game. (Better?)
  17. Headline in tomorrow's Strib: Santana Twirls Nifty Three Hit Shutout. (Assuming he gives up no more hits this game.)
  18. A shutout after half an inning. ESan in typical shutdown mode!
  19. Here we go, Twi-i-ins, here we go! http://animationsa2z.com/attachments/Image/funny/funny52.gif
