NL rules. On a more positive note the Mets are 7–16 have lost 12 games in a row and average slightly over three runs a game. On the negative side of things, depending on how many games they’ve played against the AL, the winning percentage you just quoted would’ve been even higher.

Mize for us.

I’m starting to consider the remote possibility that we may not win the World Series this year… but I’m not ready to throw in the towel… yet. Like, maybe I should just consider that we may not even have baseball for a extended time next year given the nature of the conflicting empires of players and owners, and I should just enjoy the fact that we even have baseball.

Actually, I have a remote connection to Mad Magazine. In the mid 70s when I was going to the University of Arizona, one of my classmates had grown up in New Jersey next-door to Bill Gaines, the editor and publisher of Mad Magazine. His best friend was Gaines son. He said in the den downstairs, Gaines had a framed copy of every cover of every edition of the magazine on which he had worked, and by that time that was a crap load of magazine covers.

So as it turns out, Dingler lost the game for us because he made the last out. I remember that from Mad Magazine when I was a kid in the early 60s.

On the plus side, there are free, curly fries…

On the ESPN app, it’s stuck in the same place apparently because mlb.com is stuck in the same place

Game is over five minutes and gameday is still stuck on the 12–1 score and Colt Keith coming to the plate

mlb.com hates the tigers so much they stopped updating gameday in the bottom of the 9th. I never knew that we scored three runs.

I’ve stopped watching this game. Has Dan Dickerson dropped an F bomb?

God bless Jake Rogers for getting us out of this inning. ♬He is the walrus goo goo g'joob! ♬

It’s unfortunate that Torkelson made the last out in the eighth because I was kind of hoping that he would come up in the ninth and somehow manage to hit a meaningless grand slam, but even that is now pretty remote…

Where’s my 13 runs?

This exceeds my most negative fantasy about how this game might turn out.
