Wasn't Plawecki at first last night too? Or the night before?

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, how about that? I had missed game two of the DH.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I off-the-air baseball news wise, but unless Smith is hurt it would have been
nice for him to get the last start at home in my mind...

[Guest sharpie]

Considering that it seems he can't hit lefties with a paddle I don't know if the hometown crowd really wants to see him in there.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Just kinda thought (felt) he was the plan, but I guess the plan is pretty
much up in the air after 2017.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, he hasn't hit much of anyone lately.
Article in one of the papers this morning about him being worn out from the long season and hoping to come into ST next year in ... wait for it ... the best shape of his life (or words to that effect)

[Guest d'Kong76]

At least he didn't invoke, "monster year!"

We're #3... in disappointment!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Talk about disappointment: YoungerPooper and I are headed for a short-notice Home Closer dinner date at the park, and not only do we get GsellMySoulForGsomeGsoddamnFastballCommand, but no Smith or Rosario, to boot. Way to reward the diehards, Terr.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Also, train delays due to signal problems! #irishblessings

[Edgy MD]

Michael Conforto in the haus.

[Edgy MD]

Keif caught checking out in the boof.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Cabrera is at a stage where Duda could pinch-run for him.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Reyes vote, in that other thread.

[Edgy MD]

Man, the catcher battle is on. It is SO on.

[Edgy MD]

Siddown, Peterson. They can thank you for the draft slot.

[Edgy MD]

If they want to re-boot Little House on the Prairie, I nominate Jason Motte to play Mr. Edwards.

[Edgy MD]

Whoah, got distracted by late dinner and missed a three-run pinch bomb by Smitty.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I missed the the pinch-hit homer too! Gold Terry, gold!

[Edgy MD]

Hey, José Reyes! THIS is how you end a contract before going to free agency.

[Edgy MD]

Ten walks! This is what life should be like!

[Edgy MD]

A Dan Warthen jersey in the crowd!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Books, sad to see the season dwindling to an end...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Good times.

I may or may not have screamed myself hoarse barking g-rated non sequiturs at Braves rightfielder Lane Adams, mostly about how proud his mother must be of him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

What fun is a g-rated non sequitur?
