Thanks for sharing this, although "there is some belief around the game" doesn't sound like very much of a movement afoot. In fact, since he didn't attribute the idea to anybody, not to the commissioners office or even to anyone anonymously by profession, I wouldn't doubt that the idea came strictly out of the head of Jesse Rogers himself.

They are very good when they discuss the intricacies of the game in front of them. Benetti’s sly bon mots can work very well in that context.

Fortune smiled on me last night. I had gotten all the way down to 26th and Western when the radio told me the game was delayed with no expected start time, so I turned around and went home. I was going alone and I didn’t want to hang out who knows how many hours just to have them postpone or cancel. The game did start up about an hour late, so I thought I would certainly lose my chance to see baseball infamy, but the Sox overcame a 2-0 deficit with three runs in the eighth, and then hung on by what’s left of their fingernails for the win over a better last-place team. Now the Sox are going for loss 121 tonight, and it’s going to be a nice night, so I’ll definitely be there. And if they win tonight, my wife and i are already going on Thursday afternoon with friends of hers, so my chances of seeing #121 are prettehhh, prettehhh, pretteh good. And if the White Sox happen to sweep the Angels, I’ll be coming in to Detroit to (hopefully) see the Tigers clinch over them. If the White Sox end up winning out the rest of their games, a la 2003 Tigers … well, I won’t know what else to say at that point except “baseball, man.”

Is there a movement afoot for Baseball to ban openers? If so, then that one has gotten by me.

What a swell guy. I’m still going to listen to Dan Dickerson.

“SIIIIIIIGN MEEEEEEE!”

Twins lose! Magic number is now four. Twins suck so much lately they can’t hang a 100th loss on a terrible team.

Someone identified it as six after today’s game. But you’re right, it is seven when considering the tiebreaker. However, the Royals’ magic number against us is six. Speaking only for myself, I don’t think I can consider us as having a magic number against them as long as their magic number is less than ours, because they’re in the driver’s seat, not we. But technically, i agree we have a magic number of seven.

KC just won, but they’re not the important game anyway.

if we end up with the exact combination of six of Tigers wins and Royals losses, don’t the Royals win the tiebreaker?

I don’t think we have a magic number against Kansas City until we clear them.

Would it be funnier if he’d replace Spiderman’s head with Cy Young’s head?

Harris Walz sign humblebrag 😉

I’m gonna predict he’s an opener against the White Sox.

Magic number now five over the Twins.

Two hours on the dot

Oh boy

Did Mason Montgomery work with Chris Fetter or something?

And here I am, the guy who wanted to kick Beau Brieske to the curb for two seasons in a row.

I think you got 75% of the letters right

Couple of hard hits to end the fifth. I’m guessing Prepiot is done.

WENCEEL!

Tork is lost at the plate, again.

Please tell me we aren’t going to get no-hit today.
