    I was joking, actually. But I rarely drink at home. And I don't particularly like wine ... although you wouldn't guess that by seeing all the wine I have ... all gifts.

    Man, the Tigers announcers were just as enthusiastic about that catch as anyone ... I mean ... gotta appreciate that kind of a catch no matter who made it.
  3. Squirrel
    Yes, and on the Tigers board, too.
  4. Squirrel
    Holy crap! What more can one say about that catch! Sheesh!

    And on a Tigers board somewhere, someone is saying that Upton didn't even try to jump for it.

    Oh, heh ... well ... I wasn't really drinking during the game. I was out and about and had been drinking and came home to watch the end of the game. I mean, who drinks at home alone?

    What bag? Are you calling me a bag???

    At this point in the summer, it's just difficult for me. Work tires me out. But I'm on vacay for 3 weeks after the 20th.
  9. Squirrel
    heh ... guess not.
  10. Squirrel
    And now Castro will homer.
  11. Squirrel
    Oh well crap.

    And I don't think playing well since then is a coincidence, either. It can go either way. And yes, credit to them. Something lit a fire and I am merely suggesting that if certain things can be called 'coincidental' to dampen spirits, I think they can be fire lighters, too. And I'm not over valuing ... I think I was very clear in being a believer in 'It ain't over 'til it's over ... but I think looking at those teams and looking at possibilities ... I just don't think it's the year to put all our eggs into one basket or another ... I don't think taking all factors into account, and that being but one, is over valuing that one tidbit when there is more that goes into such decisions.

    I don't think it was overreacting at all. The Twins played very poorly against the best teams in baseball at that point, teams they will have to beat in the playoffs and the WS, should they make it that far. While still not impossible, the probability was nudged in not getting there. Then they played poorly against the A's, a NOT good team. While maybe some of us hoped they'd stay the course of small buying to help, I don't think it was as egregious as overreacting. I am a firm believer in 'it ain't over til it's over' and have a lot of back and forth on their quick unloading of Garcia, but I can't exactly fault them either. And who knows, maybe it's that move that lit the fire of 'We'll show them!'

    Lol ... are you 70?

    I checked his IMDb page and I don't think I've seen anything he's ever been in. No, I don't watch Modern Family. I've heard of it, of course, but haven't seen it. I don't really watch that much television, outside of a very few things.
  16. Squirrel
    Your editor was a bit confused ... 'if they last long enough' ... was that in reference to the bumps?
  17. Squirrel
    Who?
  18. Squirrel
    Yeah, neither Park is all that great but for different reasons.
  19. Squirrel
    For the month to change to September, I guess.

    Although, listening to Counsell talk about that balk after the game, he basically said they've done this a lot, shifting and with men on third, but that maybe he could have gone out and talked to the pitcher to make sure his 'twitchiness' wouldn't get the better of him, that the runner wasn't really going anywhere. I guess that makes sense ... but ... I'm not sure I'd want to do that with a runner on third, particularly with certain runners who would use their energy to induce such a thing.
  21. Squirrel
    It wasn't so much for 'wanting to trade' Rosario as it was looking for players who might be more expendable in order to get a return for good SP. I've always liked Rosario and don't want him traded, but, if we can net good pitching, that's the way it goes. But yeah ... he was certainly a gamer last night ... hitting in the tying run and scoring the winning run with his balk-inducing motions.
  22. Squirrel
    Yeah, I wondered that, too. I guess he was more focused on getting the out, but still.
  23. Squirrel
    Or maybe his frustration we've seen him express lately is creeping into his play mentally?
  24. Squirrel
    Lol ... not on a regular basis, but I have done that before.
  25. Squirrel
    Lol ... always fun reading the game thread after a come-from-behind win, and knowing the outcome as I read through.
