Holy crap, how does Minor have all that grey around his face. Is he 70

I have nothing against Harvey, but I really wish we would get rid of him to make room for our other guys, now that everybody’s healthy and Steve won’t yell at me.

Hey guys, great interview, but meanwhile there are some guys in orange black doing bad impersonations of major league ballplayers. You may wish to comment.

[SteveA]

One fantasy football draft done and 13 minutes until the next one starts, so I'll put in a cameo appearance in the game thread.   Pedro throws one into left to cost us a run, ugh.

McKenna breaks up the perfect game!  (Some rookie for Minnesota has one through 6 against the Indians).

[SteveA]

OK Cedric, 3-1 pitch, hitters count!

 

[SteveA]

OK, that works!

[SteveA]

All up to Hays

I see this thread is dead just like this stadium.

What's the count at the yard tonight? 200 people? 

[vab]

Almost 50 games under .500?  In September? With the Royals in town? They're lucky anybody's there. 

[Philip]

It sure ain’t 2014…

[Philip]

Meanwhile, I suggested this in another thread but I’d like to dump Harvey and focus on our own guys for the rest of the month.

Is it really that bad? All time record low attendance besides the no fans game?

[forphase1]

Am I the only one who questions bringing in Stewart to pinch hit for Mateo here?
