Longdogger_Pete

Yep. They're done. Game is done, season is done.

I should just go to bed now.

Yes. As terrible as he looks right now, what do we have that's any better?

Good Lord, if Morgan uses the phrase "dead red" one more time I think I'm going to punch my TV.

Hinske's going to pinch for Kapler with bases loaded.

WYLDNESS~!

Guillermo Mota traded from Cleveland to the Mets - don't think that was reported yet.

So much for this game.

So how many McMahons are in this match? We've got Kennedy McMahon, Finlay McMahon, Regal McMahon...? Hey, all that was announced was "DX vs. McMahons." They never specifically said WHICH McMahons. Presenting the true father of Stephanie's baby - UMAGA MCMAHON!!

Which one? Seriously though, I thought he refused to give them the ball. Did they pay him off? I think that was how they settled it - neither the team nor Mientkiewicz got the ball; the ball was instead donated to the Hall of Fame. Which is where it should be.

MLB.com distinguishes them as "Javy Lopez" for the catcher and "Javier Lopez" for the pitcher.

Breathe, man. It's going to be all right.

One day after recalling him, the Red Sox option Jermaine Van Buren back to Triple-A, and instead recall pitcher Javier Lopez. Which means for the first time this season, the Sox have two players on the roster named Javy Lopez.

What the hell?

Jason Johnson and Rudy Seanez are both DFA. Thank God. Not that we can get anything better...

Sydney vs. Ayane should be in there, yeah. Also... it's been announced that Miami Mayhem V will take place at AngleSlam! But what the heck is a Miami Mayhem match? what does Longdogger Pete have in store for Peter Knight at AngleSlam? Perhaps we'll get a preview at HeldDOWN!

Wily Mo is officially trying way too hard.

To answer someone's question about the last time a team performed as badly w/RISP, SportsCenter today said that Cleveland went 0-for-18 w/RISP back in 1981.

Please push Sydney Sky vs. Ayane Mitsui to 8/24, I'm going to need an extra day or two to finish it up.

I'll go along with that. Guess we won't find out until tomorrow what we're giving up. (Or perhaps it'll be the same guy we gave Baltimore for Javy - you know, Mr. To Be Named Later.)

Then he's an extra bat for a month or two and then he's traded. These things have a way of working themselves out.

Perhaps he isn't a 4th outfielder. Perhaps he's Nixon's replacement for next season.

Yeah, and that's it. Now I go sleep.

"Oh, just shut up. He doesn't get it. He'll never get it. It's been four hours. The cows can take something by now. Just shut up - please!"

Luis Gonzalez with an RBI single in the top of the 18th, D-Backs take a 2-1 lead. We'll see if that holds.
