Guy might have trouble hitting
Not only is his bat curved, but he also has his eyes (if they exist) covered.

You just think his bat's curved
It’s actually an optical illusion, due to his amazing bat speed.
Also, his bat uses echolocation, so he doesn’t need eyes.

They took the lead in the 8th, 4-1
An error by Lake County third baseman Karexon Sanchez extended the inning.

Mets Phils rained out again
Wasn’t there a team last year that didn’t have to play a game because it wouldn’t affect the tsandings? Do I have that right?
by ol Pete on Sep 6, 2008 8:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I don't know about last year
But the Brewers only had to play 161 in 2004 because of a rainout against the slightly less worse Pirates.

2:07 minute game
What was the fastest baseball game in Major League Baseball?
Back on September 28, 1919 the New York Giants took on the Philadelphia Phillies in Philadelphia, defeating them 6 – 1 quite quickly.
While the score is not that amazing, the time it took to play the full nine innings was, a mere 51 minutes, the fastest, or shortest baseball game in the history of Major League Baseball.

Imagine how good he would be if he was a winner :)
I wonder how many times I’ve been told that Ben Sheets would never win more than 12 games.

I mentioned the possibility only a few short weeks ago
and when he exited last game, I was seriously worried about it

Why o why did I keep him around. Maholm will hopefully help out.

Only 2 earned for Jason. I thought he was going to get credited with more than that.

He was only responsible for one runner reaching in the 8th

still hoping for a Cincinnati comeback
I realize the chances are incredibly slim, but it would lead to every single Cubs fan’s head exploding simultaneously (not to mention a total collapse in September), so it’s worth dreaming about

Is the AZL team still there?
… or just a bunch of random minor leaguers that get extra instruction? If George is on his team, Yovani won’t have to worry about giving up any earned runs.

Awesome quote from Yost about Gagne
“[The home runs allowed] are more glaring because they’re in one-run games.”
If only there were a way to control what type of games Gagne pitched in…

Right now, Yost asks Gagne in the clubhouse before the game…
Ned: “So, you pitching today Eric?”
Gagne: “Oui.”
Ned: “God Dammit.”

I'm kinda excited about that guy
Not very often that a guy is groomed as a reliever with his velocity, or lack therof- not that it’s a bad thing, I like it. Given his ability to pitch more than one inning and pitch very often, plus his big-game experience at NC, he could be an interesting piece in a major league pen in a year or two if his offspeed stuff is able to fool guys up here.
