Saw a story last week (may have been the ESPN site) that when Brad Asmus returns from the WBC, he could be offered the Astros' managerial spot. Found it: Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Astros have interview(ed) former catcher Brad Ausmus for their managerial vacancy. Ausmus, 43, retired after the 2010 season and previously said that he didn't plan on returning to the game anytime soon, but he's obviously considering it. The three-time Gold Glover and one-time All-Star has no managerial experience at any level, but that isn't a deal breaker anymore with Robin Ventura and Mike Matheny getting jobs last winter.Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Astros have interview former catcher Brad Ausmus for their managerial vacancy. Ausmus is currently managing the Israeli team in the WBC. Later

How is the attendance prediction contest going? Later

Another tight race. Will he get it as a .300 hitter, or will he have dropped below .300 by then? Later

I had the misfortune to hear part of the wrap-up show. (The station was on when I got into my wife's car.) When I heard Sterling say "Ichiro, better than ever", I realized he has probably never even glanced at a stat book. Its one of his lowest season BAs ever, John. Then I quickly turned the station. I didn't hear the final score until we got home. Later

Judging by the highlights I saw, if the A's can field ground balls cleanly, they win the game two or three different times. Ugh. Later

Hope this is the right thread for this. After seeing the recent offensive futility, why wasn't Captain Kirk (The Dutch Treat) recalled? He was on the Buffalo DL a while ago. Was it a season-ending injury? Later

Was it a Hefty Met bag? Later

Didn't hear the score until I got home from work. Looked at the box score (morbid curiosity) and was astounded to see that not one Pfucking Phillie got plunked. I don't care if anyone gets suspended, but someone here needs some extra Testosterone. Later

Speaking of post season kudos, MLB won't stop Melky from winning the batting title. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/baseball/mlb/09/19/melky-cabrera-bud-selig-batting-title.ap/index.html Later

Or the scoreboard showing the video of Lionel Ritchie's Hello. Later

As David approaches the record, I can't get a scene from Harvard Lampoon's Vacation out of my head. Its the one in which Chevy Chase sees the Grand Canyon, pauses for a second, shrugs his shoulders, then leaves to go elsewhere. Will Wright do the same? Later

O's manager Buck Showalter doesn't sleep in the office much any more: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/orioles-manager-buck-showalter-doesn-t-sleep-in-office-much-anymore--even-in-heated-race-with-yankees.html But after last night's game, he may have wanted to. Later

Playing in the PCL can be an ego boosting experience for hitting prospects and ego deflating experience for pitching prospects. Later

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I don't like the idea of committing to Duda, though. I hope that if they do trade Davis, that there's a better player that they can turn to to play first base. First base has been a possible destination for Wilmer Flores ever since the scouts (and fans) saw him run. Later

Then why would Bob Uecker want to sit in the very last row? Later

Toss Jackie Robinson's memorabilia out of the rotunda and replace it with Willie Mays stuff ... NOW! Later

Excellent KTE. Lotsa' good info there. Later

Start lining up for your KTEs, folks. Later

The Brooklyn Cyclones lost to Hunson Valley last night, 2-0, and were eliminated from the playoffs. They were the last remaining Mets minor league team in playoff contention. Wait 'Till Next Year. Later
