Every player in bold should be laying bunts down the 3B line all series long.

Hopefully "bench players" is code for Wise and maybe Flowers, because the other bench players should not be getting any meaningful at-bats.

If you're going to ban Paniagua, you might as well ban bread and water as well.

The problem is that in the current system this is the only leverage they have. The entire American education system is messed up. In most areas of the country, the bulk of education funding comes from property or other taxes that are voted on at the local level. This needs to stop. I'd stop short of federalizing it, but having teacher contracts negotiated and paid for at the state level would be a start.

I just looked it up, and even though Porcello is a righty, Viciedo is 4-11 with a HR against him, so I would go with the regular lineup, bat Wise in Dunn's spot, with Wise in LF and Viciedo at DH.

Maybe if the city didn't have thousands of ghost employees making six figures, they could afford to pay teachers.

This highlights a rule that I think really needs to be changed. In order to prevent teams from stopping the clock by faking injuries, teams get charged with a timeout for injury stoppages in the last two minutes of a half. That's fine, but they do it even if the clock is already stopped. I really think teams should only get charged a timeout if an injury timeout is called while the clock is running.

Last game I was at it was 102 degrees, so anything will be an improvement. Well, except maybe getting struck by lightning.

This thread will add teams as they are officially eliminated from the postseason (both division AND wild card) Houston is the only team on the list so far.

Game 6 of the 1906 World Series.

It should just be in Indy every year.

Mendoza (7-9, 4.48) at Liriano (5-11, 5.11) I will be there, in Section 112, Row 1, rooting on the Sox. I'll be the one in the green hat.

Time to close this section?

Anybody have a source at the Score who knows the verdict?

I'll be there tomorrow.

Especially not when Obama was already going to win by 50+ electoral votes. All the Obama campaign has to do is not f*** things up.

I live 8 miles from an International League stadium, but it seems like I'm always busy with other stuff when the Knights are in town.

Former Browns/Ravens owner Art Modell died this morning at age 87.

Former Browns/Ravens owner Art Modell, 87.

You wouldn't believe some of the Gillispie stories people down here tell.

Maybe we should amend the Constitution to make the Presidency a six-year term with no possibility of re-election? The the President's party doesn't have to worry about re-electing him and the opposition party doesn't have to worry about defeating him and maybe more gets done.
