I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

  • 1935 - The Chicago Cubs won their 21st consecutive game and clinched the National League pennant.
  • 1938 - Lou Gherig hits his 493rd and last home off Dutch Leonard of the Senators.
  • 1953 - The St. Louis Browns play both their last game in Sportsman's Park and the last game in the franchise's 52-year history. Fittingly, they lose 2-1 to Billy Pierce and the Chicago White Sox in ten innings for their 100th defeat of the season.
  • 1983 - Tim Raines becomes the first player since Ty Cobb to steal 70 bases and drive in 70 runs in the same season.

  • 1998 - Mark McGwire hit two homers to reach No. 70 in the St. Louis Cardinals' season finale against Montreal. It gave McGwire five homers in the season-ending three-game series. McGwire's 70th and final home run of the season was a line shot over the left-field wall on a first-pitch fastball from Carl Pavano in the seventh.

It occurs to me that this game might be the second most important start Liriano has ever had in his career.

E: And it's going swimmingly so far :shepface:

This is probably something wrong with my TV or it might be just me, but the Root Sports footage of this game seems more yellowy than the FS1.

Nope.

I'm wondering if they'd draft a kid out of college named James Proletariat just because.
