I dont know

what my record is exactly, but when I enter a runs thread only we are pretty damn good.

The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb

Ah, just noticed this:

We really shouldn’t pinch hit Freeman until we absolutely have to.

Why? Because then we can’t pinch run for DLee since Glaus is our only option at 1st.

Our playoff percentage is still huge, as even if we lose the division, we are effectively 3 games up in the Wild Card right now, with a lot of the Wild Card competitors having to play each other in the last few weeks of the season.

In addition, we’ll play at least one game at home in the postseason, so we’re probably assured of winning at least one game.
