-
Cairo... wow. He sucked.
-
We're going to the bottom of the 13th.
-
Mesa has a 6.11 ERA.

Welcome a-bordick bcm!

And we head to the bottom of the 12th.

Howard K's.
-
I'm here, for now at least. Damn, I screamed myself hoarse tonight.
-
Myers was a longtime starter.
-
Wow, Troy Percival. Coulda sworn he was done.
-
PHEW. Damn, it's so ironic that we have to root for the fucking Cards now after last year.
-
Kelly Stinnett, I hate you.
-
I could use a damn hot tub right now, but I don't have one. And yeah, I go to George Washington University.
-
Oh good, it's not that serious. Nothing looked wrong with him, it was just really weird.

Back from the game. What a disappointment. Maine got out to SUCH a great start. Then Alou pulls up lame and everything turns to shit. We have an absolutely terrible bullpen, and our bench is pretty thin. We could use Delgado back right now. Edgy, it was an absolute pleasure. Hopefully we can do this again next season. bmfc1, it was great meeting you as well - those are pretty good seats you've got there! Thrilling, eye-opening game, just with the wrong results. By the way, any word on what the hell is wrong with Alou?

Ebbets invented the rain check and was the first to propose a player draft that favored bad teams. So I think he merits some kind of consideration.

Well, players-wise I think the 19th century isn't fully covered. I dunno about managers/executives. But from a baseball executives/pioneers standpoint, let me throw out some names: William Shea Walter O'Malley Charles Ebbets Bing Devine Gussie Busch Charlie O. Finley Bob Howsam Joan Payson Marvin Miller

They might not even be recently retired. There are plenty of people in the 19th century that have been overlooked. And what about more owners and executives? And there are still some managers that could go in that aren't recently retired, but retired for quite a while.

Looked it up. Besides the huge class of Negro Leagues inductees in 2006, they are: Al Barlick - Umpire, 1989 Bill Veeck - Executive, 1991 Bill McGowan - Umpire, 1992 Leo Durocher - Manager, 1994 William Hulbert - Executive, 1995 Ned Hanlon - Manager, 1996 Earl Weaver - Manager, 1996 Tommy Lasorda - Manager, 1997 Lee MacPhail - Executive, 1998 Nestor Chylak - Umpire, 1999 Frank Selee - Manager, 1999 Sparky Anderson - Manager, 2000 So excluding the Negro Leagues induction, which was outside the Veterans' Committee, it's been nobody in 7 years. That's pretty sad, considering that I don't think we've gotten everybody that should be in there yet.

The problem is they picked the finalists for this thing before Wright went nuts in August. Oh well.
-
I'm going to the game tonight! Section M51, row 2, seat 3. I should see you there, Edgy, we're in the same section. I'll be wearing a Mets hat and a GW shirt.
-
Bruce Froemming should go into the Hall of Fame, no? The Veterans' Committee has been awful at electing non-players (or anybody, for that matter).
-
Hey Edgy, I think I'll be at the game tomorrow.
-
WHERE IS OUR DEFENSE?!?!?!?!?!?
