Well, shit.

Does anyone think Ohtani can actually save our season at this point? 

Honestly I just want him in the lineup to inject some excitement into this team. I really think he is great for the clubhouse. Also I miss Ippei, who is the true superstar here.

Pretty soon we're going to have to recruit random guys from the stands to fill our pitching roster.

The degree of injuries here is absurd.

Did somebody say Kenny Powers?

Not being the Rangers Orioles or Royals does not diminish the disappointment 

Yeah, but saying this season is the most disappointing season since '95 is somewhat hyperbole as the season isn't over yet. Although I respect you feeling that way especially with the way the team is playing, and all of the injuries.

lol we're 41-39

I wouldn't put the season in the refrigerator with the lights out, the doors closed, eggs cooling, and the butter getting hard quite yet. Yeah we have been slowly fading towards under .500 territory, but at least we aren't the Rangers, Orioles or the Royals.

My thoughts watching tonights game:

Me not being shocked that our crappy bullpen gave up HRs:

Suddenly a wild Jack White appears

He over-corrects too much on his FB, its either obviously out of the zone, or way in on the plate. Even if you throw 99 if you can't control it, or if it doesn't have any late movement then it makes the ball hit harder/farther. He has better command of his slider than his FB, but he isn't ready to be put into these situations yet. He needs more time to develop.

People blaming the bullpen are clearly not watching.

I just watched, with my own two eyes, Justin Anderson come in from the bullpen and allow Pearce to hit a HR. Yeah the 1B Ump botched the strike call, but you gotta buck up and throw damn strikes.

Dear Pearce and Anderson...

Does anyone know if there are statistics of how many Hall of Famers have played for their home team (or relatively close to their home)?

That is actually a really good question. If it's not available I might write some scripts to parse the information of the current Hall of Famers, their teams, and their hometown to see what comes up. Never thought about it until now. To be continued (If the info isn't already available). I wonder what an acceptable answer would be if a player was born in say Buffalo, NY and played for the Yankees, would that count? I would think it should.

How can you sell when everyone is on the DL?

The transition to Blernsball is finally beginning

Perchance are you both members of Duran Duran? Roger, is that you?

Nope not THAT John Taylor sorry, I do play bass though, and I was totally a Wide Receiver for the 49ers back in the 80s

The other guy could be the drummer of Queen.

Hopefully an honorable umpire will eject this coward for flipping his bat.

Fake News! That cowardly bat keeps trying to flip away from Luis Valbuena

Styles vs Rusev Day at Extreme Rules for the WWE Title; it was interesting that Styles and Rusev shook hands after the gauntlet matches were over, but Aiden English refused to.

Rusev face turn forthcoming?   He's already getting the pop with "Rusev Day!".

My fear is that this will setup a split between Rusev and Aiden English, which means Aiden will most likely cost Rusev the title during the match. Rusev is better with a +1 be it Lana or Aiden, and also the Rusev Day stuff has been great for Aiden as well. Just let them both be faces, its okay Vince.

It looks like a lot of fun. That is awesome of you to invite members from here.

One thing that really impresses me about Chuck is that he has this uncanny ability to treat everyone like a longtime friend. Even the weirdos like us who troll his message board. It's a personality trait I wish I had. Also he could most likely kick the crap out of anyone of who gets out of line, the dude is jacked.
