Let’s strive mightily to win

 

Let's dedicate the win tonight to Dusty Hill.

 

I say we got those Kansas City Royals right where we want 'em.

we could be the fucking twins, they got hammered 17-14 today to fall to 17 under .500.  I will not take these winning seasons for granted that's for sure.

Or the Yankees, who cemented their superiority over the White Sox in April but are going to miss the playoffs.

I would not write them off.  For all the bitching and moaning from their fans you'd think they were like 10 under .500.  Last time I checked they were like 4 games out of the WC and 5-6 over.  TB is scuffling a bit and so are the As.  Mariners are a joke, the Tribe, er, Guardians? Probably will finish with 85 wins at best. 86 wins might take the 2nd WC, Yanks can do that.

We couldn't do jack shit in this division for 15 years.  Pop the fucking champagne and hang a banner when we wrap this up in late September.

Mogen David and diet soda.

Oh yeah.

Gonna get me a couple bottles of Cold Duck, blast a Bangles CD on 11 and walk like a fookin Egyptian.

lets dong it up

Hopefully Tony doesn’t try to push it with Lucas and Rodon the next two days.

Its 97 now, will go 100 tomorrow with heat index close to a dozen points higher.

Like to see 80-90 pitches, ample use of the bullpen, get back home healthy.

Some more awful at bats from the top of the order.  Couldn't square up 90 mph down the plate.

Jose swung at ball 4. We haven't had anyone reach in the 1st inning since the Minnesota series. 

Nice at bat jose?

for a smart hitter jose can be really fucking stupid sometimes.

he had to hit that ball with a boat paddle.

I suggest Lucas throw strikes.

He decided to swing super late too. You'd think with Eloy behind him he'd stop pressing so much. 

Abreu would probably be the best hitter in the league if he learned how to lay off the off-speed low and away

That changeup was gross

Really nice change ups from Lucas after falling behind 3-1.

Seby framed that first strike beautifully

10 pitch 1st for Gio

Dominant 1st inning for Lucas

any chance you guys think Seby is the backup C over Collins in the playoffs?

Yeah Collins is awful back there.

some clown called me out in another thread awhile back because i said jose didnt have a good batting eye/strike patience.

its like have you ever actually watched abreu?

as good as he is.. he could have been way better.

The approach by the hitters is just terrible. Everyone swinging at bullshit.
