I tried to read the names and make due. I think that I correctly interpreted Vander Meer as one of the pitchers, but I really question your putting in The Dalai Lama at shortstop. At his age he should be the DH.

The Pioneer win came at great expense as both Mike Lansing and Bill Salkele each landed on the 21 day IL. Manager Joe Quinn has called up Herb Plews and Duke Sims.

The Royals lost catcher Darren Daulton for 5 days with concussion like symptoms after taking a foul ball off the mask. Manager Gene Mauch has called up Gilly Campbell.

Amish Assassins OF Reggie Jackson was suspended for 5 games after he was HBP and escalated a bench clearing incident. Tommy Lasorda has called up Ken Griffey Sr.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Winningest manager without a pennant or WS; hopefully Mauch can get his club turned around. Maybe the Campbell call-up is the catalyst.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Details to come.

Tomorrow’s a big day! The WLB season will be on hold until the completion of the 2nd Annual Edward John Coyle Jr. Memorial Tournament! It will open up with the 1951 New York Giants taking on the 2006 Minnesota Twins…

@tabletopmania @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Now I need a bracket!

@YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

@RuthODay @tabletopmania @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Yeah, I'm predicting Tigers over the Twins in the final, sorry. That's an amazing club. And of course I bailed on the Twins as well in this tournament.

@tabletopmania @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Now you know why I don't bet actual money :-)

#1 Edward John Coyle Jr. Memorial Tournament
Willie Mays singles in Bobby Thompson in the bottom of the 11th as the ‘54 Giants walkoff the 2006 Twins in the opener!

MIN 0 7 0
NYG 1 7 1

W: Kennedy 1-0
L: Nathan 0-1

SB: MIN- Stewart 1

E: NYG- Stanky

@YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Statistically speaking this was a big upset.
Johan Santana tossed 9 scoreless before giving away to Nathan in the 10th. Maglie went 10 shutout innings for the no-decision.

Fitting that Bobby Thompson gets another big hit on October 3rd.

Am I right in remembering this is also your late dad's birthday?

@YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Yes it is. He would’ve been 72 today.

@tabletopmania @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Happy day to you both!

Great stuff!

Listening in on MLB app

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Congratulations on breaking the streak, though I am quite miffed that they had to plunk my Alejandro Kirk to do it.

On the bright side, the D-Backs fried some brats in Milwaukee.

@RuthODay @tabletopmania @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Congratulations to Nolan on a big win on a big day!
