Bad Religion – Infected
I couldn't bring myself to play Billy Ocean.

Not that I am especially proud of this one. I had to recruit Mrs. Buffalo for some input here. I asked "Was Bad Religion cool to punkers or were they for poseurs?" She told me that I am an idiot.

Lineups
Oooooow, look at all that foul territory. The Twins will feel right at home there, they've been playing pretty foul ball lately, winning just one game in their last ten and riding a five game losing streak. It's so bad I wandered over to Cot's today to see what our payroll situation looks like for next year. The good news is a lot of money is coming off the books, about $35 million, give or take a nickel. So Terry Ryan should have some money with which to play ball this winter. Let's hope he doesn't decide to bunt.
On The Hill:
Brian Duensing vs. Brandon McCarthy.
I'm not going to bother with their stats at this point. I'll just say advantage Oakland and leave it there. With this late start, I'll be down for the count after three innings. It won't surprise me if The Dunce is, too.
Play ball!

It's got to be really hard to evaluate pitchers in short-season leagues.

When a player has an OPS of over a thousand for a hundred it bats, it's time to think about moving him up.

It's only 92 at-bats, but Kennys Vargas has put up incredible numbers so far.

I wonder why the Twins let Jairo Perez go in early July. Not that he was going to be a star, but he was one of the better players on the team, and he really wasn't blocking anybody.

It seems like it would be worth giving Oswaldo Arcia a few swings in Rochester before the season ends, rather than allowing Clete Thomas to continue taking up space there. Deibinson Romero has quietly had a fairly decent season.
