1 out, bases still loaded, Stairs up.

Intentional Walk to Ambres...bases loaded nobody out for Emil Brown.

Intentional walk to Ambres, Bases loaded, no outs for Emil Brown.

Chip Ambres, Emil Brown, Matt Stairs up next, on deck, in hole.

2nd and 3rd, no outs for K.C. Chip Ambres, Emil Brown, Matt Stairs are up next.

2nd and 3rd, no outs for K.C. in the 8th.

Burgos pitches out of it. Bottom of the 8th, still 4-3 KC.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) A f***ing 2 out triple. Do you pitch to Hafner here with the hot Martinez on deck? I do exactly what they did...throw him pitches, see if he's dumb enough to swing. If he's not...then your only job is to keep Martinez in the ballpark.

Yes, tying run is on 3rd, 2 outs, Hafner up, 3-1 count.

My point in response would be "Power corrupts. And absolute power..."

Triple/Error or something like that on K.C., J-H-onny on 3rd, 2 outs, Hafner up.

4...

Actually there are 2 Democrats on the list.

I haven't had the chance to watch a Colts game yet this year except for the Ravens game on ESPN where Manning didn't get going until the 2nd half. Is something genuinely wrong with their offense? Are people not catching the ball, is Manning making mistakes, or something like that? They look like they've taken a huge step backwards offensively.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) WILD PITCH 4-3 KC!!!!!!!!! Congrats on that 1000th post. I remember those days.

4-3 K.C. on a wild pitch!

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has slapped together a fairly interesting list of the "13 most corrupt members of Congress". I find the list quite informative...most of them I've already heard of, but they all deserve some severe scrutiny.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) Don't watch it. It's just going to piss you off when they come right back and score. 1...2...3...inning for Greinke in the top of the 7th after they tied it up. He's thrown about 100 pitches, and retired 6 straight.

Just remember...this is the definition of what unrestrained capitalism gives you. Unlike almost every other consumer good, the demand curve for oil is very inflexible. Therefore, a huge increase in price causes only a very small decrease in consumption. The oil market is unlike almost any other market in that effect. If you need a new vacuum, and 1 brand has a price too high, you simply choose a different brand. But if you have a certain amount of miles to drive to work, you have to drive those miles whether gas costs $1.50 or $4.00 a gallon. Therefore, it is to the advantage of oil companies to drive the price up...because even though they're driving the price up, they're not driving demand down. Therefore, if they want to maximize profits...they can keep pushing the price even higher. Here's a nice little post on the reasons no refineries have been constructed in this country in decades...and why oil companies are even trying to close some profitable ones down.

Terrence long with a 2 out RBI single for the Royals, followed by a 2 run home run for Emil Brown. Tie game in K.C. Greinke hasn't given up a run since the first.

Emil Brown hits a 2 run homer off of Westbrook.

TIE GAME IN KC!

Terrence Long with a 2 out RBI base hit for the Royals, now 3-1 Cleveland. Long out of the game...hurt his ankle I believe.
