Being a Mets fan the only thing I have to say is...is...is...vodka, vodka...I know it's here somewhere.....

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
When Jose Reyes did (much) better as a pitcher than the starter, and he gave up six runs in an inning, that should tell you something.
Yes, it tells me that they used Steven Matz as a door matz!
It's August. The Mariners lost to the Astros. The A's have caught the Mariners for the second wild card. As a well trained Mariners fan, I'm descending into the pit of despair. With any luck, it's a shallow pit and they haven't begun the annual slide into irrelevance. If they have, at least they held out until August this year.
Never EVER count the Sox bats out. 
Down 4-0 in the 2nd.
Scored a couple to get started.
Then they had the plate for over a half hour amd scored 8 in the 4th!
10-4 Sox!

When I used to coach Babe Ruth, I had a rule. If the player took a called third strike, they owed me 10 pushups. If they hit a legimate extra base hit, I would give 20. First inning, first game, a player hit a double. Ashe was rounding first, he yelled out, "Coach give me 20". I did them right in the coach's box. The players loved it.
Looks like the Mariners have begun their annual slide into oblivion. August, when Seattle baseball fans' minds turn to the upcoming football season. I was hoping they would keep me interested all the way until September. They still might, but I'm well trained and don't expect it at all.
I asked my Bride last night:
“How do I look?”
“You look fine.”
“Do you like the way I’m dressed?”
“Sure, you look like a Hippie Brave’s fan.”
“Well...I’m glad you like it, cuz this is what I’m gonna wear every night until the Braves lose.”
“OH GAWD! Are you gonna do that thing where you think that what you’re Wearing has something to do with the Braves, or the Rangers, or the Giants winning or losing??!!!
”
“Babe! I’m an American male born at the tail end of the Baby Boom...of Course I think that!
Bazillions Of Guys do!”
“I don’t believe that!”
C’mon, guys...li’l help here.
Do YOU dress to keep a winning streak alive?
(Gimme a break with the pants, huh?
More grey pajama pants than MC Hammer balooon pants, ya know?)

We sat through the game tonight, right down to the last painful out. We were hoping, but not expecting, for Paxton to repeat his last Toronto performance.
That's ok though, it was a beautiful night in the Puget Sound.
All I can come up with at this point is the players started believing the hype.

I was sure hoping that the smoke and mirrors could keep being smoke and mirrors. They could right things and get back into it. They aren't clear out of the chase yet, but it sure feels like the familiar swoon coming on.
I gotta tell ya...
I wouldn’t walk from here to the end of the driveway to meet alex rodriguez.
I’d tell him to Get Off My
F¥€£!ng Lawn.

No sir. Never have.
I have an uncle who believed in wearing lucky outfits on game day though.
Yanno Mike, the last time Pittsburgh beat <insert city name here>, I was wearing these same pants and hat. That's why I'm wearing them again today.

@MJ5150 I watched Undeniable with Joe Buck last night. The person of interest was Ed Reed. It was a fascinating interview. I was require to hate on Ed since he was a Raven ( Whom I've always felt was the real rival to the Titans ) but man I really ended up with so much respect for the guy, who I admittedly, knew little about. He also happens to be an outstanding Miami Hurricane 
Not sure if you saw it or not but it's a fine way to spend an hour.

OK, what were you drinking/smoking at the time?
Nah, Reed is cool. I guess once in a while a decent human being sneaks through that program, but not often!
Meh, Cubs are .500 since the break. Since June 26th, Lester has a 6.81 ERA 
and the other starters have been muddling along. Sadly, in order to win the division we have to hope that Hamels can continue to do well after his initial strong showing and that Darvish can come back both healthy and good soon. It wouldn't hurt to have Kris Bryant back, too, though the offense has been strong even without him.
