I watched the end of the Rays game. Leadoff out. Then a double. Then a routine grounder to first. First baseman underhanded a toss to the pitcher covering. Easy out. Except the pitcher dropped the ball. So the Rays runner who had moved from second to third tried to score. But was thrown out at home. Except the catcher dropped the ball.

 

BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

 

Beautiful.

Red Sox, BJs and Ms all lose


KC loses too

The bullpen would still be a strength if we only needed it to pitch 13-15 innings each time through the rotation. We lost the depth to cover 4 innings a night when O'Day went down and Brach started slipping a bit.

Hopefully Buck can work some magic with an expanded roster but the problem is so.many of the guys on the 40 man and apparently in the organization are completely useless. I don't use the word Scrub lightly

NL teams should with the SP what Earl used to do with DH.  List Gausman as tonight's starter, if he bats in the first PH with a hitter, then bring in Miley.

 

They'd just outlaw it, like they did with Earl's DH trick...

How about the Baltimore Fire?    Baltimore Bullets?  Too soon?

 

Baltimore Bullets.   Fuck'em if they can't let the team be named what a BAL team is s'posed to be named... Bullets is to BAL b-ball what Orioles is to BAL baseball...

If I ever become a billionaire I'm buying the Wizards, moving them back to Baltimore and restoring the name Bullets

 

If I ever become a billionaire, I'm buying The Sun, creating a megabuck foundation so they don't need to worry, hiring a bunch of trouble-making reporters who got laid off from good newspaper jobs that disappeared, and telling them to go cause trouble here, there, and everywhere...  we'll kick the NY Times and the WaPo in the nuts, and have a special room for all the Pulitzers...

In an alternate universe, would be 'fun' to see the O's lose Game 7 of the World Series, just to see nickle flatline.
 

 

No, it would not... believe me, you can trust me on this one...   

 

We can design better experiences for bnick...

Fair enough about the save rule. In all fairness, Gary Thorne called it a save situation, and Donnie Hart there in the postgame alluded Britton getting a save...so even they don't know the rules apparently.

 

Well, in fairness, it's not a rule about actual baseball... it's just a rule about record-keeping... which is where all the goofy rules are (except for the balk rule and the new Miss Manners Sliding Etiquette rules)...

This is Buck's team. We don't care about the save rule, only the win rule.

Or anything from that time frame.


I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?
