Not much to say up here. Obligatory 75-word filler below jump.
Ok, so I can't think of anything cogent here. I can't even come up with a haiku. How terrible is that?
It's fun watching somebody else's team deal with the 163rd game of the season. I am not really rooting for one side or the other--I guess maybe the Tigers, because of 1987, but I find it impossible to actually cheer for them.
Anyway, this is entertaining watching the Twins storm back. Right now it's bases loaded w/ Tolbert at the plate.
Oh, and
But I’m still hungry,” Pujols said. “I’ve got 10 fingers. There’s one that’s busy and I need nine more.

Albert Pujols’ 2009:
160 games, 568 AB, 700 PA
186 H: 93 singles, 45 doubles, 1 lonely triple, and 47 dongs
124 runs scored, 135 batted in
115 walks, 44 IBB, vs. 64 Ks (good for a BB/K of 1.80).
23 GIDP—that surprises me. FWIW Yadi hit into 27.
16 SB, 4CS
.327/.443/.658/1.101, good for an OPS+ of 188 YOWZA
374 TB
ISO .331
BABIP .304
165 runs created
the runs scored, homers, on-base, slugging, OPS, OPS+, total bases, IBBs, RC all were league leading.

I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arango’s enthusiasm persuaded the Devil Rays to bring Pujols to Tropicana Field for a predraft tryout. The day, Jennings recalls, was a disaster. Based on his body type, Pujols was asked to perform in catching equipment, and reluctantly agreed.
“It wasn’t very pretty,” Jennings said. "Then we let him hit and he hit one ball in batting practice that went to the warning track, and no balls that went in the stands for a home run. He might as well have been Joe Smith. There was nothing that said this was a great player.
“We were blinded by our own eyes.”
Arango says Pujols was fully capable of putting on a power show that day, but was primarily focused on scorching line drives. Less than a month after Arango’s lobbying led nowhere, and the Cardinals were still able to pluck Pujols in the 13th round, the scout submitted his resignation.

Herk Robinson, then the general manager of the Kansas City Royals, says the failure to find Pujols underneath his nose “may be the one that stings the most.”
“Here’s the kicker,” Robinson said in an interview earlier this year. “We had someone in our engineering department here at Kauffman Stadium who actually lived with Albert for about three months. You can’t get much more in your back yard than that.”

I think playing for one run in the 9th inning of a tie game at home is OK, but Span being a quality hitter makes it more complicated….

What would happen if this game decided a season title?
I mean, this is still “a regular season game.” What if Mauer, say, won the batting title during this game, but he was behind in BA before the game? Has this ever happened?
Or worse, what if someone broke a record? Like if Albert’s 185th assist came in game 163. I guess there would be an asterisk next to the record?

This is why we love baseball!
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
