1. and then I didn't post it immediately and it just sat here. Damn it.

   Also, you didn't give it a title or a category.

   1. It had a title initially! What the fudge is going on?!

      1. half-bakef. I blame Delmon.

   2. He has yet to give them a category.

      1. I didn't notice that we had a vanilla "Game Logs" category until I went searching today.

         1. We do? I've been putting them under "MLB". It has a low enough ID that I think I did created the category. Seems good enough for me.

            Edit: I bet I intended it for archiving the Twins game logs, but putting any generic game log under it is fine by me.

      2. any playoff game involving _elmOn HRs has to be "beyond category".

2. Verlander wiggles out of jam in the top of the 6th. He's good, but in the 7th he's going to start facing the order for the 4th time, and I don't like his odds against the Rangers a fourth time around.

   1. Well, he's got the wiggle room now.

      1. Good thing, too. I don't think he was "pitching to the score" when he allowed that Cruz HR.

         1. No, I don't think he's the type.

3. _elmon has now secured a 5-year $50 million deal with Detroit.

   1. Just think of how many times he can go see the Twilight movies with that money!

      1. He could probably arrange to have his own personal reenactment. (Though I'm not sure what the connection between Del and Twilight is.)

         1. The greatest Delmon story you will ever read.

            1. OK, I've now seen the three Twilight movies to date.
               The second one, New Moon is definitely the worst of them.
               That Del saw the second movie twice in the theaters tells me he either really liked a girl that was into it, or has very poor taste.

               1. According to one of the video boards at Target Field, isn't his favorite novel The Great Gatsby? Del seems hard to put in a box.

   2. That ought to be a fun train-wreck to watch!

   3. That second HR was on an 0-1 count, but there's no excuse for giving him an 0-0 HR pitch on the first one. That's demotion material, there.

      1. I find both to be equalling shocking. If you're up 0-1 on Del, all the more reason to get him to chase.

4. Pitch count? [Redacted] that.

   1. Is this related to the news Blackjack is going to be a pitching coach, or is it just the normal Leyland and Verlander 130 pitches/game?

      1. Verlander's pitch count. Not that I'm against him going above 120 or 130, but it felt like Leyland was going to let him go until the game ended.

5. Oh. My.

   Things have gotten interesting.

   1. Not anymore. There will be game 6!

6. Where is the king of the savers?

   1. Never mind, Coke is the crown prince of the savers.

7. Sweet slide.

8. I couldn't be more tickled by Del's postseason heroics.

   1. give that man a 10-year, $252M contract. NOBODY doubts his talent.

   2. I balls del, on the tigers roster.

9. so, it looks like our boy Lyle was ok tonight. Boggs did him no favors in the 5th, but still, an acceptable outing.
