Montas is in, 3 of first 4 hitters to face him have reached, bases loaded.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) Hahn should just walk out there and relieve Ventura and Cooper of their duties right now. The one thing we know for certain is that this roster can't be Rick Hahn's fault.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 02:37 PM) Sale imploding against the Twins again? Yes, already 4-0, just going to enjoy the Bears actually having a 2nd half shot against GB for now.

Man Gould's kicks can be a thing of beauty.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) What is his ERA this year in games he's pitched in besides the Twins? As of right now. 7.84 against the Twins, 2.62 against everyoen else.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 10:34 PM) Cards lead down to 2 over Pitt. Cubs gave up 4 in the 7th and stormed back in the 8th. Dumb Phillies trying to tank. Pittsburgh actually has a legit shot at this but they're going to have to win their remaining series against the Cards to really make it happen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 12:06 PM) I have had sprint forever and had just gotten used to their s***ty network apparently. About a year ago I got a phone for work through Verizon, and I can't believe how much better their network is. When my contract is up, f*** sprint. I was on AT&T for ~3 years through work, then tried T-Mobile for a couple months to see how a cheap option would work while moving, and have had far fewer issues now that on Verizon.

Another game thread. Maybe we can take this series.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) Avi hurt? I think they said something about back spasms but I can barely pay attention to this any more.

2 singles, a walk, and 0 to show for it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) Yet manager has seemingly the job security of Joe Torre during the Yankees dynasty But we only gave up 2 runs. Robin can't do anything better than that with this little talent. It's not his fault, extend his contract. We also have plenty of talent, so we can't blame Rick Hahn. It's not his fault, extend his contract.

"This has been a clinic on how not to play baseball". -Steve Stone.

2 fielding miscues and a passed ball, 1-0 Twins. The only remaining question is how long I keep this on.

So a pair of fielding mistakes in the first inning already.

Apparently Cypress Hill throwing out the first pitch. In the brain.

Well someone has to make a game thread for the next couple weeks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Cardinals about to lose the suspended game also. Lost 7 of 9 and looking awful. I don't get why Broxton is getting important innings for him, he was freaking awful in Milwaukee. The Cardinals have lost 7 of 9. I guess that clearly invalidates 5 months of a .650 winning percentage. They're totally losing that division. They should have sold at the trade deadline. Like how when the White Sox won 7 straight it propelled them to the best record in baseball and clearly established they were the best team. That winning streak still hasn't ended.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) All I will say is this...for as much as some of you guys like to get on your high horses and lecture the rest of us about how morally deficient we are, we had a thread where one of our own posters was faced with losing his home. Of course, not one of you so much as touched it. Not an offer of advice, not any research, nothing. Now maybe some of you reached out privately to the poster, and if that is the case, well then I take back what I said. But many of the same folks that are telling the rest of us all how we should be living happen to be absent when the rubber hits the road. All right I'm chiming back in because this is clearly aimed at least in part at me. I had absolutely zero productive advice to give in that thread because I don't know anything about housing tax law. Anything I came up with would be something I had to Google and frankly there are people better informed than me on financial issues and tax law at this page.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) On pace for best 2nd half ERA in MLB history. Just have to hope Cardinals hold them off forNL Central crown. 6. games. back. Not even in 2nd place.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 10:34 PM) Allegedly So he's hit 63 HR at age 37-38?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 10:47 PM) I needed this laugh. It's a shame there's no decent engineering university in Massachusetts. (Booyeah grad school trash talk!!!).

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) Abreu might have been younger in his rookie year than Pujols He came up at age 21.
