Yabbut the Cincy starter had a 7.00 ERA the last time I looked (second inning). I'm guessing it will be lower after this game.

Calling the umping awful was certainly meant objectively. There's no doubt that Peterson was given a bunch of dubious strikes.

I'm certain I wouldn't have supported Eric Chavez attempting to insert a player who isn't on the roster. I would have because Escobar was more capable of getting a hit than Chavez. I'd have left Canha up over Guillorme, too, despite that DP because you know that Mark was focused on redemption. However, Buck (or Chavez if he made the move w/o Buck yelling from the tunnel) has a thing for Guillorme and it's hurting the team.

I'm glad Matt Harvey is still finding work fighting vicious octupi.

What is the forum history of the 'gigantic squid-like creature?' I can't remember.

I'm guessing a fan of the original Watchmen comic book.

I dunno, thought there was more to it than comic books...

IIRC there was a news story concerning the discovery of, or maybe just speculation about the existence of, a giant squid-like creature living in the ocean deep somewhere. Something about it must have amused us in some way because it led to a thread about inviting the GSLC to swim in the 'pool, about 'inking' him to a contract, and other such silliness. That soon led to a GSLC identity being created (Willets, I believe, was the power behind that throne) and the large mollusk was made administrator over something or other. Like other past members, the GSLC hasn't been seen in some time.
