    Hicks catches that.

    Bauer can't handle the Plouffe!

    When I was in school in Ohio in the early '80's the Cleveland fans I knew used to refer to Indian Summer. It's a season that begins when the team is eliminated from the post season. This year it arrived last night when the Astros won. Back in those years it used to arrive around Labor Day.

    Interesting take.

    Most analyses I've read conclude that it's a bigger disadvantage for AL teams to lose the DH than for NL teams to gain it. That said, I've expressed the proposal before that the visiting team in an interleague series should be allowed one totally unrestricted roster move for that series. That would include anything, for example signing a free agent to a 3-day contract, putting a minor leaguer not on the 40-man on the team, anything. There would be no options used, no service time lost, no restrictions of any kind. That would help to negate any disadvantage to a visiting team from either league.

    Agree on the second and third but disagree on the first. The AL has had a winning record in interleague play for the last twelve years. When there's a consistent disparity over the course of that many seasons it's highly indicative that the AL is stronger.

    I once had a job working as the human cannonball in a circus, until the day I came to work loaded and they fired me.

    Man, did I speak too soon or what?

    I liked this because I was going to tell the same one if nobody else did.

    Hey, Ricky had a lot of bend on his benders tonight. Wonder if he'll go back out next inning. Very SSS but it's a lot better than having the outfield running down boomers. If he can give us a few innings like that during the last four games it would be very welcome.

    You call it a whole lot of meh but I call it parity. I'd rather have that than a league with 7 of the worst 8 teams in MLB. I don't think the five NL teams that coasted into the postseason are as elite as it may appear. I think their good W-L records are due as much, if not more, to the quality of their opposition than to the quality of their teams. I have to believe they would have had much more difficulty in the AL, especially the Mets. I'm not going to take the time to confirm this notion, but I'll bet the NL East has the worst extra-division record since divisions came into existence in 1969.

    It's no more difficult to sweep a doubleheader than it is to win two games in two days. I agree that if the Angels did it we can do it. Remain optimistic! I think we have a better chance of sweeping this one than Cleveland does.
  14. spinowner
    Didn't look back at the schedule. Didn't read the comments. I'm just going to be happy with how the team did this year and not play this game.
  15. spinowner
    All the more reason to pitch Santana on short rest on Thursday.
  16. spinowner
    I'll do the necessary: WINNAH!
  17. spinowner
    (Fist pump)!

    Every time there's a shot of Francona in the dugout he's got a mouth full of seeds or gum or who knows what. Looks like a hamster.
  19. spinowner
    Eddie, don't flip your glove while making a catch. That can lead to a very embarrassing outcome.
  20. spinowner
    Very encouraging inning by Perkins!

    I was at the Metrodome for both of those moments. So was my wife. In 1987 we didn't know each other. In 1991 we had been married for one month.

    I still say start him on short rest on Thursday. If there is a playoff game on Monday we can play it by ear. If there's a 3-way tie there would be a second playoff game on Tuesday and he could go in that one. Keep in mind he's a veteran who should know what he's doing and his season didn't start until July so he's in mid-season form. Time to put the accelerator to the floor.

    Even though this continues the off-topic discussion I'll say that I think the Twins' handling of Berrios was based on putting his needs first and the needs of the major league team second (or third or fourth...). My opinion is that this is the correct approach for a 21-year-old pitching prospect.

    Silent treatment is great, but check out what the Cubs did for Kris Bryant. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v108430883/chcmil-bryant-connects-for-first-mlb-home-run

    I'd like it if they were all like that.
