September 30, 200421 yr Author Leadoff walk for Rolen, but Lidge strikes out Edmonds. He is three K's away from tying the NL record for K's by a reliever. He has 148 in just over 91 innings. f***ing awesome stuff...
September 30, 200421 yr Author Renteria strikes out! TWO OUTS! Rolen on first. Two out. Top 9. 6-4 Astros. Mabry FLIES OUT! ASTROS WIN!
September 30, 200421 yr Go Giants!!! Rich Aurilla just homered. 2-1 Giants. Noah Lowry on the hill against David Wells.
September 30, 200421 yr Update on the impending Cub choke: Giants/Padres tied 3-3 bottom of the 8th inning. Meanwhile in Oakland Seattle has grabbed a 4-2 lead in the 8th. Team Moneyball loses tonight and they'll fall 1 game behind Angels. I'm estatic to witness the gradual downfall of self proclaimed genius Billy Beane.
September 30, 200421 yr I'm estatic to witness the gradual downfall of self proclaimed genius Billy Beane. I never heard or read Billy Beane calling himself a genius. Some stats geeks do, though.

Yeah in that book he wrote he sure did make himself out to be the smartest guy ever :rolly
September 30, 200421 yr Giants are going to likely lose cause of terrible defense. Bases loaded with 0 out for Jay Payton. Errors by Torrealba and Alfonso.
September 30, 200421 yr Yeah in that book he wrote he sure did make himself out to be the smartest guy ever :rolly I admire you tremendous ability to decode my subliminal references to Moneyball. Where did I mention it again? I'm even more suprised you didn't find some way to plug your blog. Maybe you could provide a "hatcher job" of my original post? EDIT: Giants lose. RF Moore injurs stumbles attempting to positon himself for a throw to home plate. Cub fans are likely cheering his injury as we speak.
September 30, 200421 yr BTW, I hate ex-Twins players. Mohr would not have thrown the guy out at home.
September 30, 200421 yr It's amazing that Joe Morgan can find the time to post on Soxtalk under an alias and "call" a baseball game at the same time.
September 30, 200421 yr I'm even more suprised you didn't find some way to plug your blog. Maybe you could provide a "hatcher job" of my original post? That's a f***ing zing to the nth power. Goddamn I am in awe of that one.
September 30, 200421 yr That's a f***ing zing to the nth power. Goddamn I am in awe of that one. Why becuase I've linked my blog, with the exception of my signature, what? 3 times here? or the nice misspelling he used to attempt the "zing"?
September 30, 200421 yr Why becuase I've linked my blog, with the exception of my signature, what? 3 times here? or the nice misspelling he used to attempt the "zing"? I am just an unbiased observer, my friend. And I know you're a good guy and you've contributed a lot. Your blog is fun to read sometimes, it breaks down baseball in interesting ways. But at its absolute base, he got you good and hard. That's all I'm saying. As a zing conniseur, I that one.
September 30, 200421 yr s***ty loss for the Giants. However, im totally stunned at the turn around by the Astros. This team was as dead as you could possibly be at the all-star break. Even as late as the trade deadline they looked done. What makes it even more stunning is they've done all this without two of their top four starters coming into the season. It's even sweeter that this all started with them taking 3 of 4 from the Slubs at Wrigley. All they basically have to do now is sweep the Rockies at home where they've been liertally unbeatable the last month and they're in. This is without a doubt one of the most unbelievable IN SEASON turn arounds i've ever seen. Go Astros
