sabretooth Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 We abandoned MTS just when things were getting interesting....this feels like the win from 2014 where Ian trolled Sale with the pretend binoculars. 1 Quote

Expand They may have in July, it was close at least. Right now though, we have a chance to finish 9-3 in the last 12 games against some of the best teams in baseball. Just fun to watch (or listen).

Update: 57-60 on August 12 and 58-61 on August 14. Edited September 21, 2021 by lordstanley Quote
IdahoBert Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 I am now a “Collaborator.” I guess the memory of the Nazi occupation of France is not a current memory. Collaborator used to be a dirty word. Quote

Expand To my thinking somewhere the combination of either neglect or incompetence crosses over into just plan rudeness. The site certainly has the capacity to at least acknowledge the problem and make a statement that they either intend to fix it or let the fora close. Pretty indecent to not at least do that much.

IdahoBert Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 There’s supposedly a 100% chance of rain for the next 24 hours or so. I really doubt that tomorrow’s game is played. So the team will probably have two days off and then the last 3-game homestand of the year against the Royals before hitting the road. I hope this isn’t like the off days that led to the “can’t miss“ 2006 World Series favorite thing. Quote

That’s one of the benefits of just doing a tiny bit of play-by-play. Quote
