The WGOM

BKAC News Update

1) The field is getting pretty thin for BKAC. After next week, I'm down to only 1 or 2 entrants. If you want to play, now is a better time than ever.

2) Neshek referenced the WGOM (albeit somewhat incorrectly) on his August 25th post. I'd like to get him to play BKAC. If anyone knows how to get in touch with him, let me know ASAP.

Any correspondence for BKAC should be directed to sbg-bkac [at] hotmail[dot]com

And I'd also like to thank everyone who has taken the time to participate thus far.

7. Jones, 1B
8. Rodriguez, 3B
9. Punto, 2B

What a bottom third of the order for the Twins today.

This segment on AM 1500 with Terry Ryan is an absolute joke...and a huge contradiction by Terry Ryan.

Is the game on FSN today? I don't want to have find pants and go all the way downstairs if it's not.

Punto, the foul-ball ballhog

Ugh. It's not a swing-and-a-miss and run.

Bonzer not fooling anyone this inning

Royals out-piranhaing the Twins.

Boof taking Labor Day off a day early, it appears. I might get that nap in today yet.

Nothing like 5 ER in 1 2/3 innings to mes. up your ERA>

Time to finish watching that movie we started last night...

So how is that an error on DePaula?

times 2

Are we done with the Tyner as leadoff experiment yet again?

Nick Punto - Bunter of Dune?

Man, Jim Joyce's strike calls are sure audible. When he calls it, he means it.

Are they done with Luis Rodriguez yet too?

*tries...to...post...Cali graphic. Can't...overcome...apathy. slumps in a heap in front of Spider Solitaire*

Ha! Dazzle sticking up for Niekro with the file in the back pocket. Jack and Dazzle could extend this discussion for several innings and we wouldn't miss anything.

Hey, what's with the white flag lineup today? I thought we were still in this thing.

I just played 18 holes after going to the State Fair yesterday. My legs are shot. And I was the Nick Punto of golf today. But the whole foursome played poorly. I kept score, but didn't even bother to tally the strokes at the end and nobody wanted to ask for their score.

So, it's come to this.

I gave up on the game and finished watching Blades of Glory.

I'm pretty sure it was more entertaining than the innings I missed.

The Twins are making BabySBG cry.

Dick: "Bannister keeps the Twins handcuffed through seven."
Me: "TR's kept the Twins handcuffed all season."

Punto auditions for Mario Mendoza's job in the Mexican League next year.

Nice job covering, Cali.

Carmen's brain has already gone to Cali.

Carmen Cali wants to sit in the dugout the rest of the season, it appears. Too found of standing around on the mound and watching everyone else make the plays (not).

What did Pat Neshek do to deserve pitching in this disaster?

Neshek?! It's a freakin' 6-0 ballgame! Give the guy some well-deserved rest, huh?!

NOW what is Gardy doing?!

Somebody in the comments at AaronGleeman.com recently referred to the number of set-up guys Gardy has burned out since he became manager. I didn't check to see if the comment was really accurate, but it does seem like he's so intent on saving Nathan for save situations that he burns out his set-up guys. Maybe somebody who's less lazy than I am could take the time to see if this is really true.

Ha ha heh heh heh - sorry, so far the only good thing about this game so far is getting to catch up a little at The Dugout

Is that a Bronx cheer for the Twins breaking the seal on the scoreboard?

Gardy pinch-hits Buscher for Punto now?????

Dinty Moore Beef Stew: a Man's food, and it keeps you going all day.

MVP! MVP!

Can you handle that graphic, bS? I'm all lacking in urgency and leadership after 8+ innings of this "game"

holy cr@p, that was a completely soulless game.

Twins Lose.

Moss was flipping channels during the game, and landed on Lifetime (showing a high-school movie) just in time to hear that Jason Bartlett memorial t-shirts would be available for sale.

Apparently it's some teen flick called "Girl, Positive".

Rest in peace, Jason Bartlett. Why God, why couldn't it have been Nick Punto??
