But it will be justified... Our starters will lead the league in warm-up era.

Wallner steals. Way to go!

Are the School of Rock clips from the Jack Black movie? Or something stemming from it? Or is that something completely different? I been meaning to shoehorn some tenacious D into a game thread discussion.

What i miss? 2-2 in the 4th? We still got a shot at this...

Do you want the short version or the short shorts version? Some people got injured. New folk came up. We lost more than Cleveland.

What i miss?

And i think technically i think we have the tie breaker with Seattle if they lose out and we win out (and the in-between teams lose enough for it to matter) so we're not entirely eliminated. Never say die! (What, never?)

And in case no one else mentioned it, i checked the score: Winnah!

I give up... Is there more excitement in the west? Or does it have to do with the Spanish Maine? Which o think is somehow responsible for planer rain? Or maybe it is all the milling around in the east?

I stand corrected. Now that i'm standing and not on my head. Sigh... Sorry i had (have) other things to do. What i miss?

RALLY CAPS! Gratuitous use of poor formatting practices in the hopes that it will allow that 1 in a million chance to come through. I checked the standings earlier today, and our elimination number for the wild card is 1. But i also vaguely recall we had tie breakers for the wild card folk ahead of us, So maybe westill have a chance? Do we get in if we win out and either Seattle or Tampa Bay lose out? And the other teams ahead of us lose just enough? I am too lazy to look. So i will keep left justifying this intro to show i still have hope. I have it on good authority 1 in a million chances come up 9 times out of 10. The trick is they have to be exactly 1 in a million. I also like to explore L-space whenever i get the chance. But i don't have the heart of gold, nor know where my towel is... But more importantly, let's get this over with! Play ball, White Sox: 0. Lance Lynn (R) P 1. Elvis Andrus (R) SS 2. Yoan Moncada (S) 3B 3. Jose Abreu (R) 1B 4. Eloy Jimenez (R) DH 5. Gavin Sheets (L) RF 6. AJ Pollock (R) CF 7. Andrew Vaughn (R) LF 8. Yasmani Grandal (S) C 9. Josh Harrison (R) 2B Twins: 1. Luis Arraez (L) 1B 2. Carlos Correa (R) SS 3. Nick Gordon (L) 2B 4. Jose Miranda (R) DH 5. Gio Urshela (R) 3B 6. Jake Cave (L) LF 7. Gary Sanchez (R) C 8. Matt Wallner (L) RF 9. Mark Contreras (L) CF

I am still confident we'll make some noise, but i probably should do something useful with my afternoon... You all, hold the thread down, and perhaps the game as ya can.

The authoritative text on the subject:

So... As if we got a bunch of werewolves on our team?

Just a single play. Rally is only mostly dead. Big difference between mostly dead and all dead.

Rally... Now that's something i haven't seen much of... I like the sound of it.

Winnah! Oh, sorry. Wrong turn.

My impression is experiments work if you collect useful information... So If this didn't work, then i guess we don't know if it is safe to say anything? My personal experience, it is safe to say things, though it probably depends what one says... as well as how, i suppose. Celestino stranded at second. This makes me sad.

A compound blunder...

i see we just tied it too. Good for us.

So... that makes it a tie for first?

I hope we win that one too...

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of mlb managers?

The trade? or my way to refer to it?

Old style* (except i am lazy) 1. Angels... Should we pity their stars who play so wel, but whose teams somehow fall out of competition? Or have they become a model franchise for us? 2. Strike. Did the lock out accomplish useful goals? Closing in on one full season, and if we can review the Pagan-Rooker trade, perhas we have insight to offer on the labor situation. 3. Fall weather. Is it all it is supposed to be? i am looking at cloudless blue skies and crisp autumn air, myself, but i am in New England... Right, it used to be game thread intro requirement to have a comment on game conditions... 62F, 14% chance precipitation. 4. AA is gone (Seattle?). BB is surgerying. CC is back in the line up at SS. Where is BC? BC obviously stands for Bruce Campbell, an underrated B movie star. I'm pretty sure our sports teams would be winning if only he'd said the words... 5. What do you put in waffles? I keep changing my mind... Them: 0. Reid Detmers (L) P 1. Luis Rengifo (S) 2B 2. Mike Trout (R) CF 3. Shohei Ohtani (L) DH 4. Taylor Ward (R) RF 5. Mike Ford (L) 1B 6. Matt Duffy (R) 3B 7. Matt Thaiss (L) C 8. Mickey Moniak (L) LF 9. Livan Soto (L) SS Us: 0. Joe Ryan (R) P 1. Jose Miranda (R) DH 2. Carlos Correa (R) SS 3. Luis Arraez (L) 1B 4. Gio Urshela (R) 3B 5. Gary Sanchez (R) C 6. Gilberto Celestino (R) CF 7. Jake Cave (L) LF 8. J. Palacios (R) 2B 9. Matt Wallner (L) RF *in the high and far off times, o best beloved, the elephant had no trunk, National League pitchers batted, and the TD member who went by the moniker of RiverBrian wrote introduced each series, the location and opponent with some intellectually stimulating prose... His style was to give 5 things.
