Game 115 Overflow Thread

Picking up where we left off from last night's overflow:


To be sure there was always the next station, where one might descend and return. There was the great city, bound more closely by these very trains which came up daily. Columbia City was not so very far away, even once she was in Chicago. What, pray, is few hours--a few hundred miles? She looked at the little slip bearing her sister's address and wondered. She gazed at the green landscape, now passing in swift review, until her swifter thoughts replaced its impression with vague conjectures of what Chicago might be.

When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse. Of an intermediate balance, under the circumstances, there is no possibility. The city has its cunning wiles, no less than the infinitely smaller and more human tempter. There are large forces which allure with all the soulfulness of expression possible in the most cultured human.

Uh...

Have they scored all 8 runs with 2 outs?

That HR looked robbable for Maier

Instead he just got in the MLB 08 squat-pose and watched it go over the fence. Hmm.

Evening Gentlemen

Just got home. How did Hooch pitch?

he started off pretty well

but then after the 4th the wheels fell off kinda, would have looked better if Mahay could have gotten the last out. Seemed to struggle with his control. I think a patient team like Boston is a tough matchup for a pitcher like him, but anyway not awful, not great.

I hereby resign from this post.

Interesting

If we lose, it’s our 200th loss to Boston, and only Tampa Bay hasn’t lost 200 games to Boston.

Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
