You know the thing about Nathan, he's got... lifeless arms, black arms, like a doll's arm.

On this day in 1988, Alan Trammell hit a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Yankees, 7-6.

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.
Well Wahoo.

I remember fondly the year I'd go to Dairy Queen in the 8th and come back to Jason Grilli and/or Todd Jones having blown the lead and losing. I think it was like 08.

We have to listen to Mario and Rod normally. Dead Air loving rules. Wish they'd do a SAP of it.

I'll settle for the also rare mediocre Phil Coke who does just well enough to get out of the inning without a run.
