Red Mosquito

Since I'm about to take on the Kansas City Juggernauts, I thought it would be a good time to update the lineup.

Going forward (and ready to go on whatif):


1 Willie "fuckin'" McGee CF
2 Albert "the Machine" Pujols 3B
3 James Edward "Tip" O'Neill LF
4 Rogers "the Rajah" Hornsby 2B
5 Stan "the Man" Musial 1B
6 Joe "Ducky" Medwick RF
7 Joe "El Chino" Torre SS
8 Yadier Molina C

Game 1: Silver King
Game 2: "Parisian" Bob Caruthers

Yaz is now hitting an even .400.

Vlad's really starting to turn his season around.

Yaz has really put himself right in the middle of the Most Outstanding Player discussion, alongside Hornsby, Appling, Cleveland Shoeless Joe, Hack Wilson, & Sammy Sosa.

Man, my White Sox have a brutal stretch coming up. Indians, Mariners (yeah, they're the worst team by far, but I have to face Felix, who has been ridiculous and probably accounts for half of their wins), Red Sox, Cubs, & Yankees all in a row. They're tied for the last playoff spot right now, but they could be dead in the water by the end of the week.

Tigers-Red Sox looks like the marquee matchup tomorrow, followed by Cardinals-Cubs and then White Sox-Indians. All of those games will be big. Reds-Pirates is deceptively big too. Either one of those teams sweeping the games could give them a big boost back into middle of the race for a playoff spot.

I'm hanging on by avoiding the sweep and staying three games back, but I'm gonna need to start putting together more 2-0 days soon to stand a realistic chance. Still, can't complain about a 7-3 run out of the break.

Sweep the Yankees tomorrow and you're right there in the hunt.

Let me know if any of these are wrong.

I'm going to start Dean in game 2, Lament. I'm feeling Dizzy.

Got it.

Now edit your post so that it says "I'm gonna start Dean in game 2, Lament. I'm feeling Dizzy."

That's what it says!

So sexy.
