Sorry, The WGOM is no longer accepting Letters to the Editor on this article.
Short and to the point, but with no interesting facts or tidbits. Either the "Posted by ubelmann" is incorrect, or the season is (thankfully) drawing to some closure.

I just read that Baker's hard is still swollen so Boof will start on Thursday. Danny Richar, I shake my fist at you!
His poor showings lately notwithstanding, I have nothing against Boof. I just like Baker.

Beth! This is a family site!
D'oh. I should learn to type before posting, or at least proofread.
(How I ever got my degree in English remains an unsolved mystery.)
Well, he was recently in a family-way, no?
We have no chance against Bizarro. Unless Rhu_Ru breaks out his Blue Kryptonite.
Laugh-a while you can, monkey-boy!
Damn John Whorfin and the horse he rode in on.
that Jones boy is on fire
We seem to have different definitions of on fire.
More like this.
or this?
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin alone
I think of all the friends Ive known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobodys home
All by myself
Dont wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore
No use pretending things can still be right
Theres really nothing more to say
Ill get along without your kiss good night
Just close the door and walk away
Never gonna fall in love again
I dont wanna start with someone new

Just like me and you
No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me
Wow. Dazz thinks Bill Smith actually should at least call Bonds' agent after the season. Interesting. I wouldn't have predicted that position.
Dazzle just sticking up for his Gigante organization
Not Sabado Gigante?
"Hey, you're Bonds' agent?"
"Yes."
"We don't want Bonds. Don't bother calling."
intentional unintentional walk to Casey, according to Gameday.
ack.
gift K, apparently.
Gordo was sure surprised on that call
we are on pace for a 2:30 game tonight
woo boy
Great catch, Bartlett.
crackers.
Time for some of that Power Potential, Jones.
Good grief. Yet another...
Is that a "Baker Hard"??
Can we switch out "Light Rail" in favor of Scott "Hard" Baker?
Have you guys cleared this thread with the Dept of Homeland Security?
This is not what I should be making of my return from another half-week of exile, but what's with the logo on that condom?
Why is the cross on the bottom of the female Venus sign entering the circle of the male Mars sign? Shouldn't it be the Mars arrow entering the Venus circle? Did the people who made the logo have it backwards?
is it enough to score Cuddy? Ack, no. Damnit.
Why is Heintz batting 7th and Buscher 8th?
*honest question*
I'm sure there's a reason that makes sense in Gardy's head. But that's a scary place to go.
Gardy was filling out his lineup, he was going in alphabetical order in reverse after the Cuddy

maybe the reason the ump has a big strike zone is because it might rain

I wonder if there is a relationship between team records and game length in the last month of seasons? that would be a cool little research paper. Steve Levitt Lite
Well, time to whip up some dinner. Stir fry tonight, beef and broccoli, and a little chicken fried rice.
yummy
Time for one of my classic threadjacks:
Who's pumped for the House premier tonight?
not I
Nope, sorry.
MEMEMEMEMEeeee.
and a Bones warmup exercise.
I was hoping you'd show and tell these haters what's up.
both eps were outstanding. The baddy on Bones, in particular. "Babies...they taste like fish. Ewwwww!!!!
random thought: what happened to Tommy Watkins
8/23/07 Tommy Watkins Placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lower abdominal muscle strain
so he wont be back for the rest of the year ::(:
Injury of some sort. Strained oblique, possibly.
He got injured and with that went the last remaining sliver of a hope of a chance that the Twins could make the playoffs (because Punto went on to fail miserably at everything* for the next two weeks from that point forward).
*Except for some fielding Jeters at second.
Mandelero's thugs tire-ironed him at the skate-around.
So I'm watching the game last night with my four year old daughter and the Tigers' rightfielder is up to bat and she looks at his flowing locks and says "Daddy! It's Magglio Ordonez!"
I think that's the first non-Twin she's been able to identify without any prompting.
And now she comes into the room, sees him standing at second and yells out "Magglia Ordonya!"
aww cute
Put a choker on him, and he's Bobby Sherman.
*E-6 shows his age. Goes back to his tapioca and Matlock programs*
Well, Getting Together DID get a lot of play on Tiger Beat, so that makes sense. Homage, perhaps?
Dick N Bert's Ballots:
MVP ARod
CY Beckett
MOY Wedge
ROY Delmon/Pedroia (split votes)
Am I the only uneducated fool who thinks that Carsten Charles should be CY?
Am I the only uneducated fool who thinks that Bannister should by ROY?
Im with ya on Bannister. 12 wins on a Royals pitching staff is pretty darned good. He is also 10th in the Al in ERA
I got thrown off by Cap'n Cheeseburger's real name. But I do think he should get a good look.
No love for scrappy li'l Dustin Pedroia?
He's local boy made good, so I'm all behind him. Plus, pretty solid numbers. 315/380/432 (116 sOPS+).
This game has so captured my attention, that I can just barely: scan future SBG Library items, FTP files to my website, update Quicken, check 4 email accounts, and google some DIY instructions.
Meanwhile, Garza's game goes to the dogs.
Tigers' radio guys were hammering Garza for "getting away from his best pitch" and getting hammered because of it. So, what happened?
uh, Garza got away from his best pitch, and got hammered for it? Remember, this isn't Dazzle or Gordo, so they may actually be right.
I wasn't arguing. Just walked in the house and turned on th' laptop.
And I wasn't arguing. Just not really paying attention. Sorry.
Damn John Whorfin and the horse he rode in on. Again.
Big Boo-TAY! Big Boo-TAY!
Is anybody out there not having a good time?
Nice to see someone who appreciates the classics.
this isn’t Dazzle or Gordo, so they may actually be right.
We will remind you of that comment, occasionally.
lots of double plays tonight
Homer
Maggilo homer
Isn't this game over yet?
the Twins batters are going as fast as they can captain!
going for shutout #14
Dazz: "but when it makes a mistake, it gets crushed."
Me: "that's the difference between AAA and Major League hitters."
Tigers have more XBG this game than the Twins all month, it seems.
and this is different from normal how??
Nope, no difference. The space/time continuum remains intact.
Blow it up, big guy.
While it seems that way, the Twins have 11 home runs (Kubel leads with 3), 5 triples, and 33 doubles (Kubel has 8), not counting today's stats.
Oh sure, shot down by the voice of reason.
Well, in September the Twins pitchers gave up: 22 home runs, 52 doubles, and 4 triples, not counting today's game. But I didn't really want to know that.
Yikes.
kaboom
somehow, that half-hearted attempt is apropos for this game. well said, dw
Oppy, flip that switch. No, the other one. Yeah.
Number 14, right Ubes?
I believe that is correct and that it ties the club record.
History baby!!!!
Shall we pop the bubbly?
???
Shutouts. This offense is teh awesome1!11!!!!!!!!!!!!
