I think I read a review of that. Thought it was one of those baseball stories like "Pride of the Yankees", you know? But it's just about some crabby old sailors, stuck in this little town.

... OK, this is it. The last straw. We all need to be grown-ups and stop begrudging this god among men, Derek Oglethorpe Jeter, his due.

Let's face it. This is important. In a few weeks, the only man in the annals of the history of this wonderful nation (nay, the world) who ever played baseball will retire. If you ask me, we can't make a big enough deal about it.

Clearly this planet is just too small for Derek Jeter and NASA is working on blasting him into the far reaches of space to teach lesser species the gift of Jeterball.

This Brewers catcher, Maldonado, is pretty loving amazing behind the plate. A while ago, I heard one of the guys calling the game say that the Brewers might be leaning toward transitioning Lucroy to first base full-time and giving the catching job to Maldonado. Does anyone know if there's any truth to that?

« Edit » ... aaaaaaaand, right on cue, a throwing error by Maldonado allows the runners to advance and a run to score.

Ugh... Error on Morales. I know Morales is the hotter hitter right now but I much prefer LoMo on 1st.

E: Seattle 'Double-play' Mariners.

Some Numbers posted:

They put the error on Cano.

I understand why but that's just hilarious, given that it was a perfect throw and Morales' ham-hands were at fault.

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.

Centerfielder makes the catch and throws the ball back to the infield, where it eludes 4 Brewers, allowing the runner to advance. Boos ensue.

Yeah but Zunino hits dingers, DINGERS!

If the Mariners can just teach Zunino some plate discipline, he'd be awesome.
