Yeah, I remember that game... kinda. Each team hit six, it was in Chicago. Pretty sure its been at leas 7 years, but I could be wrong.

Pretty sure old Eddie Jackson is gonna get us through the 7th too. Given the way the game started, a prety solid effort.

Good title sir. Winning ugly tonight. Will definitely take it. : )

I miss the Expos. Hard to believe its only been six seasons since they were in Montreal. I wonder if it would be cool to get a Bryce Harper Expos jersey?

Milton Bradley in Seattle is a good example.

Damn sir. You are a writer! Props on the solid posts.

Hypothetically, if JR KNEW that giving away $160 million to a collection of ballplayers and coaches would guarantee a championship, he could do it. We just aren't absolutely capped. Now, if you're the Detroit Pistons and you give 90 million to Ben Gordon and Charlie V, then you're f***ed.

The thing about Tony Pena being a "veteran", is that he is only as such because he's been in our pen a couple years, and also was not good with Arizona.

Haha. I know it was a weird post. I like to say unconventional things. I just don't worry about other people's expenses, unless we're talking NBA. So far nobody has said what would be different this year if Rios was making $3 mil instead. Also, I can't fathom that if we run the parallel universe where everything was as it is now, only KW doesn't put in a claim on Rios, that 2011 Cell ticket prices would be different.

My point is, is that none of us are Jerry Reinsdorf. For example, I don't care if your cell phone bill is expensive, unless of course it prevents you from getting Netflix, (overpaid reliever), which I'm not sure that it would.

And lol at Tony Pena getting the win.

Owls win! Owls win! A really nice win considering the flow of the game, and/or lack thereof. Obv Quentin is the nuts, and was nice to see Dunn square one up. Can't wait until tomorrow. : )

Under what conditions is a game suspended rather than scrapped?

I don't want Carlos to lose his stats for today. : (

Other than heavily "overpaying" for a reliever, I don't know what else we could've done.

Of course baseball is a business. And if Rios was making 25% of what he is, we might have an under performing Rafael Soriano. If we were truly CAPPED at $100 million, I would take more exception to it, but we're not.

Why the hell does anyone care how much guys are making? Or what OPS you're getting for so many million dollars? You and I don't pay the salary, and there is no salary cap in baseball. We're not exactly handcuffed by Rios and Dunn's contracts. Sure, Rios is not exactly tradeable, but his salary doesn't prevent us from working with the 24 other active roster spots. What would be different if he were being paid $3 mil this year?

Obv the example I'm going to give is an exception, rather than the norm, but the 1995 Mariners were 15 games back in mid August and won the division, if you think a 4-6 road trip in MAY will kill the season, you're out of your mind, and need to rethink your perspective on things. Just my 3 cents.

Cheese and rice. In the last 15 seconds of that awful 11 minute video, lol. And you don't really even get to see the old boy make contact. 75 years though and he rips a hanger out of the park. Sooooo sexy.

Obv a very underrated video, IMO.

Pretty incredible that he became a left handed thrower in the middle of playing professional baseball. I didn't see if he still played catcher after making the switch.

I've searched much for this, does anyone have a link to the video of the 70+ year old Luke Appling hitting it over the big league wall in the old timers game? If anyone hasn't seen it, its definitely worth a look. For some reason I find it incredible.

What timing do you think is optimal to text Subway in the 5th inning? Do you text as soon as prompted, or do you wait 30 seconds to a minute?

Omar is such a beast tho

I'm optimistic as well. Wish Brandon League didn't cost us a game in Cleveland tonight,but oh well.
