  1. Has there ever been a good pitcher who goes by "Buddy"?
  2. I was thinking meteor striking the ballpark, but yeah, that would be a form of mercy too.
  3. I'd sure hate to be in our shoes right now.
  4. Unless the game is called early, they surely will.
  5. I like how you think one step ahead of the opposing manager. Send the team your resume.
  6. Nothing spectacular, just a good read on a deep fly in left center. Some major league CFers would make that play, many would not. Very satisfying, and yeah, it probably kept the two baserunners from scoring.
  7. No, but not a better idea either. And Slegers isn't IMO disposable, so if letting him develop a little more consistency in AAA has a chance of working, leave him there. He's not currently ready to keep the ERA below 7 in the majors.
  8. Ladies and gentlemen, Byron Buxton, major league centerfielder.
  9. Quick scouting report on Nik Turley, for the benefit of teams scouring the waiver wire: major league stuff, zero command. I tuned in with the score 4-0 and 1 out, and I found myself hoping Nik had the presence of mind to savor his final major league pitches, even if he's deeply disappointed in the momrnt. This has to be the end of the line, right?

  11. Maybe Alice is buying a stairway to the 3rd floor or something, and the song reminded her.
  12. Disconcurs: (Or, is that "unconcurs"?)
  13. Make sure the coach takes you for ice cream after the game!
  14. Gonna update us on your season stats?
  15. On a related note, when you have Dysentery it does not mean you have Unentery, because there is no such word.
  16. Not a good idea. His Achilles Heel will always be his heel, then.
  17. Buxton kind of caught that fly on the heel of his glove. He did an amusing double-take.
  18. Now that's a major league look. http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PNXNxObcIE8/VdPpMZywizI/AAAAAAAACQs/5Wz_H6yM3RQ/s1600/__3-43.jpeg
  19. Berrios looks like Rodney Dangerfield tugging at his neck collar, after that sharp fly ball was caught by Grossman.
  20. "No, don't pull just one finger. I dare ya, pull ALL of them."
  21. Tuesday night, June 20, Aaron got the decision in a 4-3 win over the visiting Buffalo Bisons. In what has become something of a pattern, he pitched well in the early innings, but weakened and needed relief help mid-game. Until the sixth, the only run was a solo home run by Christian Lopes in the third. But in that sixth, he gave up a couple of walks and a couple of singles, resulting in a pair of runs, and with two out he was lifted in favor of Jake Reed who got a key strikeout to close the inning. He had reached 91 pitches. Altogether, 5.2 innings with 3 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks to go with 6 strikeouts isn't bad, but isn't really of great stature either. He was so close to getting out of it, though. His season ERA ticks upward to 4.11, and his W-L record improves to 6-4.
  22. Peter Cetera was with them from at least the first album, and was IMO part of why they were good.
  23. "Be sure and tell 'em, Large Mrs O'Leary sent ya!"
  24. You should consider signing up to do a game-thread starter sometime.
