In Detroit for Summerslam this weekend so decided to take in Rays/Tigers from behind the dugout.

Shades of Bob Uecker!

Real punches or not the most baseball thing about this is the bullpen guys trotting in after it's all over. But just imagine if they didn't...I don't know what might happen but it would probably be really bad. Or maybe the Angels would win the pennant.

I'm so old that I went to some Seattle Pilots games when I was a wee lad.

Mookie Betts returns to Boston this weekend for the first time since he was traded. I will not watch. I will continue to be sad and angry.

Note to baseball executives, sabrmeticians and other baseball savants: There is one rule: Never trade a generational player.*

*Except in return for another generational player.

Fuckin’ A, you know you’ve got a helluva lineup when Al Oliver is batting 7th

Still only the second-best Betts

What is Immaculate Grid?

No Google in Seattle?

I kid. This should give you enough info to get started. If not holler. As I said before, it’s highly addictive

The game also exists for hoops (men & women), football, hockey, & international football (what most of y’all call soccer)

I play it everyday. I’ve only hit 9/9 a handful of times. Yesterday’s hurt.

Which did you miss? I bet I know. I’ve had good success with getting Immaculate but before yesterday I had 2-3 straight days of suckage.

As for rarity score, I have a friend who was in my HS graduating class who made the big leagues. 12 year career, played for 8 teams (including 98 Yankees), total journeyman reliever. He’s been my ace in the hole, used him at least 4 times so far and his score is always something like .4, though once it was .03. He’s now the Orioles bullpen coach. My lowest rarity score on a 9/9 day was 84

I experience this feeling every time I play the Grid

Today was my best Immaculate Grid performance by a mile- perfect grid with Rarity Score of 54. And that is with one player coming in at 29%

Was really surprised to not get Immaculate yesterday - the one I missed was Orioles pitcher with 200 K season. Was half asleep & not wanting to get cute so I went with obvious, Jim Palmer.

Wrong! I was stunned, so I looked up his stats & his highest K total for a season was 199

[brettac1]

I actually went Mussina for that one.

I actually went Mussina for that one.

Good call. As I said, I was half asleep and my brain totally focused on pitchers from the 70s. Mussina never even crossed my mind, even though I saw him pitch multiple times at Camden Yard as an O

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Was half asleep when I played this morning and learned a valuable lesson: make sure to click the proper option when there is both a Sr. & Jr. version of the same name

Wasn’t paying attention but regardless, I totally forgot that this dude had a son who played MLB

A friend put up this masterpiece yesterday. The fuckin’ Sergeant Pepper of Immaculate Grid. After seeing this I want to stop playing

I had the Toy Cannon on one a few weeks back but on that specific game his rarity score (%) was much higher. My friend’s performance yesterday was next level. I thought I had killed it with a rarity score of 54 but then saw his gem and hung my head in shame. Ralph Garr was the only player we had in common yesterday

Here’s what I had yesterday, what I was oh-so temporarily proud of

[beantownbubba]

On Saturday against the O's, the Sox had 23 hits and lost. Just sayin'.

Pissed myself off today by being cute and thinking Black Jack McDowell had a 200 K season. It was 191.

Haven’t played yet but thanks for the heads up on McDowell

I have to say I'm pretty darned impressed that you guys can go for rarity on this stuff. There may have been a time that I had the range & depth to do that, but right now, I'd settle for any correct answer and even that's no sure thing (which is why I haven't been playing). It turns out that trivia (or detailed information if you prefer) is like anything else: use it or lose it.

Today is one of those days where I am most thankful that Montreal Expos players count for Washington Nationals 9/9
