Presuming one has to choose between those two scenarios, sure, I'd opt for the latter. But I guess I don't see why we couldn't have done both. [263] Fair enough.

I didn't see Friday's game but at least on paper those are two totally different situations.

Seriously? Goddamn. Really? 100 would be very nice and yes, is very do-able. 1998 was obscene, no question about it. What??? 57-13? Seriously? Goddamn. Really?

100 would be very nice and yes, is very do-able.

1998 was obscene, no question about it.

Yeah, but on the other hand if we win 18 that's 100 wins. Very do-able. Also, we've won 57 out of the last 70 games. That's a very, very good pace (that pace would win 132 games if maintained over the whole season). [258] Wow, they were good.

Joe seemed to feel it wasn't very safe to let him pitch to another batter, so Phil got to nail the last man in the seventh. (The game was still close.) Of course, this doesn't answer the part about why Hughes could get more than three outs on Friday. I don't know that one.

I was out earlier mowing the lawn and sipping a coke. Later on I got a bad case of heartburn, even 2 Pepcid Completes couldn't stop it. Now I just vomited. There was a bee in it.
