sabretooth Posted September 21, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewsieg Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Just now, gehringer_2 said: 4 under 500. Is the first time ince April we have finally gotten closer than 5 under? 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).

I thought we were 3 under for a fleeting moment in early August. Let me check Baseball Reference. Update: 57-60 on August 12 and 58-61 on August 14.

IdahoBert Posted September 21, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of the benefits of just doing a tiny bit of play-by-play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I had ad-blocker I'd still somehow see them on MTS after the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
