Open Gameday Thread II: Simba's Pride
by howtheyscored on Aug 6, 2008 1:32 PM PDT
437 comments
We get to 450 comments faster when I actually get to watch the games.
If this new thread breaks the game, it's Natto's responsibility to make one that works instead. So if he doesn't, you can just blame him and not me.

He also tried to blame the error at first base on Velez, completely ignoring the fact that it was Aurilia who airmailed that stupid throw in the first place. He ignored the veteran’s major role on that play and instead focused on the youngster’s minor role.
