vs. TIGERS, 8/03

White Sox getting after Porcello. It's 7-5 now.

Here is some rain delay information.  Anna Benson stood trial for having someone killed when she was a teenager.  I did not know that.

NYYs have a man on 3d with one out, strand him.

Meanwhile, Singleton and Michael Kaye drive me crazy me discussing how Christy Mathewson invented the slider. Kind of like saying that Edison did a heck of a job with that telegraph thing.

Well, I for one find old-tyme baseball interesting, and Christy Mathewson was a Giant both literally and figuratively.

I know I was looking at it before the game! There was a cell half the size of Baltimore City literally a couple miles away, headed right at the stadium. I'm like what the heck are they doing??

Clever ploy by Buck. Now he can skip Tillman without hurting is feelings. Gausman could pitch . He's had 4 days rest.

I thought before a game starts the home team has control. We saw this with the Nats drama vs us.  Don't get it.

He could catch Bonds if he stays healthy.

I keep forgetting he is only 25. Fingers crossed on the health.

So if they find out who the actual murderer was in the next couple of hours, will they resume tonight's game based on that ???

That Upton HR was 452 feet. That is probably top 10 all-time for OPACY.

He broke the game like he found a glitch.

Regarding Ruth, I am sure you mean you didn't see him play.  It was such a different context - nonetheless he out-homered entire teams.

Yeah.

If I had a time machine I would spend a bunch of my precious time with it...before I was eaten by a Morlock or got my various timelines hopelessly muddled....watching great players I never actually saw play.

Gwynn is easily in my top 10.  All of your guys are great.  Don't know who I'd drop.

Would you add Pete Rose?

[Yossarian]

Trout is unbelievable.  If he can sustain anything close to this pace for the next 10 years, he has to be considered among the best all time.

Interestingly:  There are three active players with career WAR better than Cabrera;  Pujols, Beltre, and Beltran.  I find that interesting.

Goldschmidt hits his 3rd HR today.  9-8 D-backs, top 9.

 

Both #4 hitters have 6 RBIs...

Ruth, Bonds, Cobb, Musial, Gehrig. Aaron, Hornsby, Mays, Mantle, Williams

 

Not in any order but that'd prob be my top 10. With guys like Speaker, H. Wagner, Foxx, etc right behind. I don't know where you put Cabrera.

Cabrera is 44th all time in Runs Created, between Reggie Jackson and Mike Schmidt.

I would love for the Brewers to win the Central and the Cubs to go home.

Wade Davis is having trouble getting out of the 9th
