Clemens and Pettitte with a brief awkward hug on the field.

RBI single for Dingo. Astros lead 1-0 after 1.

Bench · « **Reply #3 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:08:03 pm »

Zeid is in, top 8th, still 1-0 good guys.

Bench · « **Reply #4 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:27:07 pm »

Yankees tied it up in the 8th. Going to the 9th, 1-1.

Bench · « **Reply #5 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:40:36 pm »

Bottom of the 9th. Dingo up.

subnuclear · « **Reply #6 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:40:41 pm »

Went for a nice bike ride now I'm back just in time for the Astros to win the last game of the year.

Bench · « **Reply #7 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:41:56 pm »

Dingo K's. Astros need one more K to tie the record and Carter is up.

subnuclear · « **Reply #8 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:43:43 pm »

There you go, though Carter made him work for it.

Well, that's certainly appropriate.

The marlins might get a cool walk-off WP to preserve a no-hitter to end the season, but at least the Astros have made history.

Bench · « **Reply #11 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:46:17 pm »

The record has been surpassed and we're headed to extra innings to pad the stats.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:49:21 pm »

As far as monikers go, I think I prefer the Dingus over Dingo. They're both good, though.

subnuclear · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2013, 03:52:16 pm »

'Dingus' sounds like something you call your little brother.

I'm hoping in a few years he'll hit a big walk off homerun in an important game and we can yell "the dingo ate my baby!" and not have it make any sense.

Could also be another name for Pence.

Another big game in Arlington-tied with Angels 2-2 in the sixth. If Rangers lose they go home early too.

Can't wait for this to happen.

The Astros need to stop swinging at pitches which bounce off of home plate.

NeilT · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:17:25 pm »

Don't these damn Yankee fans need to go catch a plane?

subnuclear · « **Reply #20 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:32:23 pm »

That was something less than graceful.

Bench · « **Reply #21 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:34:29 pm »

The Astros are bearing down on 20 K in the bottom of the inning. That is amazing.

subnuclear · « **Reply #22 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:35:00 pm »

Nice force out at third.

subnuclear · « **Reply #23 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:52:02 pm »

Homerun by number 39. I guess I should know who he is. Anyway Yankees 2-1 top of the ninth no outs.

NeilT · « **Reply #24 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:52:03 pm »

Yankee fans are all still here.

subnuclear · « **Reply #25 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:52:40 pm »

Mark Reynolds.

subnuclear · « **Reply #26 on:** September 29, 2013, 04:58:51 pm »

Two more runs score. Everything has gone to hell and is bullshit. Yankees 4-1.

subnuclear · « **Reply #27 on:** September 29, 2013, 05:03:15 pm »

Yankees with another run. Yankees 5-1. 2 outs.

subnuclear · « **Reply #28 on:** September 29, 2013, 05:13:13 pm »

May this be the last 100+ game losing season. Yankees win 5-1.

David in Jackson · « **Reply #29 on:** September 29, 2013, 05:14:16 pm »

Thanks goodness that's over.

Looking forward to reading about the future for the next six months - much more uplifting than watching these games the past three weeks/years.

So ends the latest Season of Our Discontent.

Three years in a row I've thought: "well, it can't possibly get worse" and, of course, it did. Maybe this time it won't.

My hatred of FYB and the DH is undiminished one year after Selig's forced march to the AL.

Handi-wipes and a twelve pack of Charmin might be a good start.

Thanks RB. Thanks for all you do here, and for a fine final recap for the season. Shit, if you hadn't written that recap they might have played another game today. You've done us all a service.

I read an interview with Noomi Rapace regarding her character in the Swedish Trilogy of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". She said that after the last scenes were completed she got sick and threw up for 45 minutes-"it was like my body was ridding itself of Lisbeth (her character in the film). After this season, I know how she felt.
