That's what everybody thought was going to happen here, 75.

Lots of people suggesting in the media that he should be fired but there isn't any announcement out there. Maybe it's true but I always keep in mind that Rosenthal traded JD Martinez just about every week for 6 months.

No, I don't think anybody wants that. There is still a lot of interest in maintaining resource export markets and tourism, and a stronger CAD doesn't really benefit anyone except people who like to cross border shop or spend the winter in Florida. It is true that Canada is the US's largest customer so a stronger CAD would be beneficial there, but it is also true that the US is Canada's largest customer and the current range of 75 to 80 cents seems to be the best balance. It's not too long ago, 15 years maybe, that things were completely reversed and CAD was worth about $1.20 USD.

Bank of Canada announced 100 basis this morning, following 75 basis points 6 weeks ago.

Wow that's old school, some teams used to do that to Dick Allen when he played for those awful Phillies teams. If you could hold him to a single the rest of the team wouldn't be able to drive him in.

No complaints about tonight's game.

I just watched it 10 times in a row, it is fabulous. The dugout scene is really great. That's the second time this year that he has embarrassed KC. Earlier this year he was on third, and he ran Benintendi's arm on a medium-short fly ball to left and scored easily.

That's a good game, lots of excitement

2 out

There, he just hit 100 on strike one to Witt

Tying run at the plate, 1 out.

Yeah...and then he fires 3 99's in there for the K. Maddening.

Yes indeed

Sac fly makes it 7-5, 2 out

Followed by a double and a single, yank him.

Here's Chafin for the 7th.

Tork with his 3rd hit, RBI single

Schoop RBI double! 6-3 now.

CABRERA STEALS THIRD!! SCORES ON THE THROWING ERROR.

Deja vu - leadoff double by Baez, sac fly, Cabrera with the RBI

And gets out of it. Tiring inning though, 79 pitches through 6. That might be it for him?

Brieske struggling just a wee bit with a 7 pitch walk. First walk of the night.

Baddoo also 2 hits

Tork with 2 hits now.

Brieske now 59 pitches through 5, very good.
