Henriquez has been, shall we say, inconsistent.  A walkoff is a pretty strong possibility now.

I'm guessing you haven't been keeping up with the SOX lately.

[ashbury]

Full-speed Buxton from a few years ago gets that sinking liner, IMO.  He's favoring the injured hip now, and clearly is not willing to lay out for any difficult flyballs.  Meant to mention that pre-game and then didn't get around to it.

Heh.  We'll find out, won't we.

The resistible force meets the movable object.  😀

[ashbury]

Meanwhile the Orioles took care of the Tigers.  Scoreboard watching in September has never been more pathetic.  😀

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

To remove 'pain tolerance' from the equation, the SOX should definitely shut down Devers.

And when I post 'pain tolerance,' I'm speaking of my own.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran should be the guy making 30mil this season. Now he needs to steal home.

SOX need a wild pitch or a balk.

His service time is a bit low to be just handing him a wheelbarrow of money yet. But he's on track to collect big paydays soon.

[ashbury]

Quite the heavyweight battle tonight.

16 K's on a dead team's chest.

Casas is saving some runs tonight!

If your Twins clinch a PO spot, they should invite the White Sox team to share in the celebration.

He is excellent at scooping up bad throws.

[ashbury]

And the two combatants go to the 11th round.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing one of these teams will win.

That's good stuff and very descriptive of this impotent game.

You misspelled important.

Oh wait you didn't.

I've got better words I could employ, but then I'd be in trouble.

And to think that so many viewers thought The Irishman was long and boring. BTW, it was.

[ashbury]

Do you know Margot holds the record for failure in pinch hitting?  29 straight.

[ashbury]

Welp.  30.

Sounds like it might be a record.

My son texted me: "More like Blew Wet with all this rain."  Enjoy.

Not anymore.  Future generations will have to aim for 30.

I like your work. Hope you're around for tomorrow's shame, er, game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Before you get overconfident about the Twins' pitching, a couple of weeks ago Woody Allen struck out 15 SOX batters.

I haven't even resorted to my Carnac the Magnificent schtick yet.  😀
