Like Merritt?

EE adds another!

Maybe moving Ramirez to 4th, Gomes to 5th, and Chisenhall to 6th might work out better. Zimmer to 7th. Move Santana to 8th and Encarnacion to 9th.

Glad you don't make out the lineup cards!

Shaw gives up a 3 run homer, and it's tied

..............WE WIN!!!

Exciting game!

Told my wife middle of ninth I was just going to turn over and watch Cavs, she said why, this game is close. I said the beard is coming in, it's over.

Fear the beard!

I think this is something like 17 saves in a row for Cody Allen without a blown one. (Dating back to last year) Guy never gets talked about. Told Tito he would go to set up when they traded for Miller. True team guy, selfless. He should get more press.

That duo at the back of the pen is amazing. Allen makes things a bit more exciting than Miller but his only failure this season was in one of those dreaded tie games he can't handle.

IN a Jack Nicholson voice: HE CANT HANDLE THE TIE!!!

I just looked at Allen's game log, it is better than I thought. He has converted 22 straight saves without a blown save. His last blown save was Aug. 17 of last year.

If you include the post season, where he was a perfect 6 of 6 in saves, then he has completed 28 straight saves.

That is getting the job done!

Don't want to put the K.O.D. on the guy, but Goody is living up to his name.

Another steal from the Skanks.

I still remember more steals BY the Skanks [Nettles, Chambliss]. Did we get much for Mel Hall? How about David Justice? I am much better at deals of the 60s than deals of the past quarter century.

Andrew Miller might be worth all of them...

TV guys say Chiz is a late scratch. Robertson is in lineup in his place now. I missed why, hope nothing serious.
