By strange I think you meant 'shitty'

[Mark68]

And yet another lineup with Calhoun at the very top.

What is he, like 0 for a thousand now?

Feels like it.

They were originally going to go with Ward ... oh well 

[totdprods]

Hope Ward can get a little momentum back on his side before the seasons out. He's had a brutal couple of weeks and the error in Houston may have done him in.

Is there any reason Marte is starting?

Well ya every game in September and most of August didn't matter, but why Marte didn't they see enough of him when the season actually mattered?

Don’t you mean a Partay gift

[Angel Oracle]

I couldn't care less at this point.    Let this season mercifully end in 6 days!

It will make me happy to never hear Marte Parte again... Always hated it.

Season ends on Sunday ... wondering if Trout will get the day off

[Ray McKigney]

I smell a win.

They should go with Cowart.

[Rally Gorilla]

If nothing else, it gives us another glimpse of how well Trouty can do with Show-hey protecting him....

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!

Go Felix Pena!!! Leave a positive (probably) final impression for 2018!!

Go .207 in right, .316 in center, .281 at DH, .269 at second, .212 at first,

.228 at catcher, .204 in left, .128 at short, and .165 in the hot corner!!

Power bats in the corners? NOT!!! Go Bees!! Beat Round Rock!!!

156 DOWN, 6 TO A BRAVE NEW WORLD!

To be fair, as much as we say that now, we'll miss it when its over.

After the season ends, its like 3 months of @ettin getting us all hot and bothered for trades that make a ton of sense but never happen, and hoping someone posts something funny in the off topic thread, but mainly just recipes no one would ever actually take the time to make. Or bake.

Hahahahaa, I was working on some of that Primer stuff last night regarding off-season trades. Not easy to find the right partners and even if you do the odds that trade actually happens is a long shot. Yet I continue to fruitlessly try.

I've heard rumors it takes more than just 2 GMs to make a trade happen.

Mike loves managing. He still wants to manage. And he'll be talking with Billy and Mr. Moreno about it.
