Game 78 Overflow Thread
That (bleep)er Jose Guillen has actually taken two (bleep)ing walks today, but he'll never take this (bleep)ing bunch of (bleep)ing infants to the (bleep)(bleep)(bleep)ing World Series.
...or will he?

Slightly OT:
I know everyone here hates the White Sox, so this might hurt, but has anybody else ever wondered how the hell Mark Buehrle stays so good? In other words, wouldn’t it be nice if Banny ended up like Buehrle (another low-K guy, although isn’t Buehrle more of a groundball guy than Banny?)

Buerhle succeeds
but throwing strikes, changing speeds, challenging hitters at the right times, and being durable. He’s a good comp for Banny, as is, I think, Brad Radke.

Radke

I always snark at "gutsy"
but Brad Radke’s final year was one that I’d actually use that word for. He pitched basically league average without a shoulder. That took guts.

Yeah, but that's where emotions are OK
it’s bad analysis, but for fandom of sports generally, it’s OK. Indeed, it’s a positive character trait. It probably won’t make you a better ballplayer, but, man, that was the anti-storybook ending.
I hope he doesn’t turn out to have been a total bastard like Kirby Puckett was.

He always seemed like a nice guy
in the post game interviews (Radke), though I know little about him otherwise.
And cut the guy some slack…it’s hard to figure on what the Twins thought they were doing trotting him out there in the post-season.

Plenty of slack
I thought it was moving, whatever else. That’s what I meant. It was all the more poignant, from an emotional perspective. IN a way, for a guy to go down swinging like that after playing hurt the whole season, after spending his whole career playing for a team that was never quite good enough.
That’s REAL grit, not stupidly sliding into first.
Sorry, I don’t know why I get moved by this stuff. I just really liked Brad Radke, for some reason.

No worries
Radke was cool, and yes, it was pretty sad for it to end that way. That was gritty. David Eckstein diving for a ball that Mike Aviles could field is not gritty.

Yeah
the sadness was why it ruled, at least poetically speaking. It sucked for Radke and the Twins, of course. But appropriate—no helicopters taking him off the field, just sitting in the dugout. There’s a novel, or at least good essay in there somewhere.
I also got the impression he was faithful to his wife.
