here comes Tex to the plate. gonna watch the ceremony later; i imagine yes will have it on their website. also, gonna watch his foul territory shows. there's a you tube page that has all the episodes.
[11] it's a musical term. i have music dictionaries! also, multiple degrees in classical music. i remember cool terms from college, like "anacrusis" \m/
i hope mac gets to 20 home runs today. for the season, not in today's game. though, that would be really freaking cool and probably some kind of record.
i love switch hitter stats. check out Tex's impressive home run prowess among the best of all-time:
-10 seasons w/ 25 (his hero, eddie murray, has 12)
- 9 seasons w/ 30 (tied for most with some guy named mantle)
- 42 multi-homer games (mantle only one with more - 46)
- 14 games w/ homers from both sides (most ever)
- 12 grand slams (eddie had 19)
Thanks guys for sharing what we must admit was a surprisingly entertaining season. Who would have thought we'd play meaningful games so late. Goodbye Tex, and thanks. Let's go Nats.
[68] Sucks, don't it? Thankfully, I have a stack of 68 world music promos to get though..one a night will take through the new year, but then how long til pitchers and catchers report??
oi. I couldn't watch all weekend but I watched the tapes of the Tex goodbyes. Very touching. Though this year ended early, i'm excited for next. We have a plethora of young talent to tap into. Some tough decisions ahead.
Last for Scully, Tex, Papi, Prince and Alex already gone. Who else? Next year is going to feel very different.
Nice play, Torreyes
Good rap, Jacoby.
gary won't finish with a .300 avg.
Probably not.
[3] i prefer vocals to be more melismatic.
TEX!!!
Gonna miss that glove
luis looks great.

nice, but seemingly muted, ovation/reception for Tex.
Hmmmm, melismatic.
A drummer with a dictionary, imagine that.
crap. i go upstairs for food and now we're losing.
scope is a yankee killer. also, bad at spelling.

Oof.
The clock struck midnight for Sanchez, looks like.
gary is 1 for his last 27. yikes.
Rats
that swing had to have hurt...
1-28
I'll be surprised if any of the Yankees get 20 ABs today. And even if they do, it's pretty unlikely that someone would homer on all 20, isn't it?
the odds are against it, but remember: you can't predict baseball.
Wham. Wow. Wieters.
can't come up with the sc(h)oop? i'd retire.
oh, fuck. i saw your comment [22] before i saw the shot. watching mlb.tv via roku, so it's behind...
well, all i really have left as far as rooting goes, is...
go giants and whoever is playing the shit sox! (tribe, methinks)
Gee, I leave to do some chores
ha! he did it!!! go, mac : )
only catchers with 10+ seasons of 20 homers:
yogi, bench, piazza, and mccann.
9 straight for mac.
bench and piazza have 11 seasons of 20...
tex taken out after two outs in the field?
nice play, tex!

Shit
Really, two home runs for Matt Wieters? He's really not that good.
well, that didn't work...
[34] both sides of the plate. tex's record is still safe.
Come on Mark, one last hit.
Nerts
aw...
i think he wants to stay in for another a-b...
At least Gary's arm is still strong.
gary with the gun!
go back to the bench, scope.
what the hell was he running for anyway???
Fare the well, Mark.
So long, Tex.
Thanks for everything! I'm a big fan.
All the best,
-thelarmis.
Sigh.
It's kind of a melancholy season.
And another would be thief is caught by the sheriff.
and again! what the fuck is buck running for???
go go gary gun!
[46] i prefer wan. or, at least my dictionary does.
That was high, blue!
[50] and outside!
Come on Gary, get a hit.
There ya go!
ooh, a rally!
didi!
5-2
Sigh
one more offensive inning, then nothing 'til april...
Adios, gang. See y'all round the off season. And the random playoff games. I'll be rooting for an NL team. To hell with all the AL teams. Sigh....
[58] Take care. Looks like the Tigers are shitting the bed, I'll go for a Cubs - Indians Whirled Serious.
gritner could be the last batter...
Go Giants! : )
thor vs mad bum will be a good game.

Sniff.
Scully is still on.
Hmm, box score lists Gary at .299
Good evening, and good Autumn and Winter. See youse around!
rbj was clearly Banter MVP this year, by the way -- the voting won't even be close.
[65] Thanks! Now I get to sit and stare out the window and wait for Spring
I'll watch the game tonight. Right now have on Vin for his last game. Seeing him with Willie Mays...wow.
Oh my god. It's over. There's nothing. The vast emptiness.
rbj? thelarmis? mr ok jazz? shawn? hello???
{hello... hello... hello.......}
[68] popping in for a minute, not a fan of the Yankees ending their season early.
[68] Sucks, don't it? Thankfully, I have a stack of 68 world music promos to get though..one a night will take through the new year, but then how long til pitchers and catchers report??
