Griddle playoff death watch update
2008-08-24 12:31
by Bob Timmermann

The race to be the first team eliminated is coming down to the wire.

Seattle is at 47-82 and a combination of Mariners losses or Angels (78-50) wins that add up to three will make the Mariners regret killing that albatross.

Washington is 46-84 and will be impeached and removed from playoff contention with a combination of Nats losses and Mets (72-58) wins that add up to three. The Nats situation is more precarious than the arithmetic would indicate because the NL East is a closer race and the Mets, Phillies (70 wins), and Marlins (66 wins) all play games against each other in the closing weeks.

You might have titled that better. I thought you were announcing your own blog's demise.

I had the same reaction as 1 and 2 . When I saw that on the sidebar I was like "oh no! Baseball Toaster is cancelling the Griddle :-("

Boy, and I had a good rant ready about how the networks always cancel the blogs I like.

Maybe we should plan ahead anyway, just in case. If Toaster management does cancel the Griddle, what futile demonstration of support should we launch? We could get each of Bob's loyal readers to send a catcher's mitt (in honor of CI) to the head of Toaster programming. Or maybe just get a full page ad praising the blog in an appropriate news outlet. Maybe in Library Journal.

A boycott of the Toaster?

An abrogation of the buttered bread rule?

Misleading headlines make baby Jesus cry.

I was going to read this thread, but now I'm waiting for it to come out in syndication.
