Hmm, "Hallowgom" doesn't really look much like "Halloween", does it... Or at least not enough. Anyway, be sure to get your nominations in.

I like big bunts and I cannot lie
At first glance, I misread this in the sidebar as "blunts."
also true.
The Twins didn't do the trade to get Forsythe. He was just a throw-in to get the Dodgers to agree. However, just for comparisons sake:
After his 5-hit game, Forsythe was batting .449/.500/.531 as a Twin in 14 games. Since then, he's batting .174/.297/.186 in 24 games. He's been batting 3, 4 or 5 the last week and is batting .235/.311/.299 on the year.
Dodgers still upgraded, but not as much as you might think.
I have to say, the last two losses are a couple of the most frustrating. Particularly after the two Yankees wins.
It's hard to have a much more discouraging loss than a walkoff grand slam.
Hildenberger's audition for the closer role is not going well. I saw the Perez grand slam coming the minute he filled the bases, it was just freaking inevitable at that point.
According to Gameday, the grand slam came on a slider at the knees on the outside corner. I wasn't surprised when in-play, run(s) came up. I was shocked when the grand slam showed up.
In his 11 games prior to last night, Hildy had given up just 1 earned run and had 5 saves and 2 wins.
Indians led the Tigers today 15-0 after 4 innings. The Tigers have 4 errors and 1 hit through 5 innings. It's going to be a long day for Gardy. Plus, I believe the Indians clinch the division with a win.
The Gophers are the only 3-0 team in the B1G West division. The only other undefeated team in the West is Iowa at 2-0.
That just tells you that the other division teams aren't very good. It doesn't tell you much about the quality of the Gofers.
On the composite computer rankings, the Goofs currently rank 39th. Their three opponents to date rank 127th, 45th, and 114th, respectively.
Iowa's (16th) three (Northern Illinois at 83rd, Iowa St at 51st, and Northern Iowa at 17th in FCS) are a little more impressive. A little.
The numbers you cite here look off. Maybe they hadn't added in the most recent games. Gophers look like 33rd to me. And Fresno is 38th, which is the best anyone in the division has beaten so far.
they must have updated between the time I posted and you looked. When I posted, the sheet showed the Goofs at 3-0, etc., but at the ranking I mentioned.
So, Goofs now at 33, opponents at 128th, 40th, 116th.
Iowa at 16th, opponents at 88th, 51st, 12th in FCS.
