MLB 2018

[Funky Ghost]

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!

No one was more surprised than I, I assure you. Not only that, I'm trying very hard not to mention a certain team in Philly, that swept a certain team because I respect the juju!

It’s FUN to be at 1 to 1

Your choice: smile or hope.

Anyone else here ever been to a by-gawd MLB ‘Double Header’?

This one's for you Felix.........

Mets are SO frustrating. One day the only run they score is driven in by the (losing) starting pitcher. Next day they score a bunch.

I also don't get is for a late season losing team, they are starting a lot of older players who won't be around next year (Reyes, Bautista, Meseraco).

 

[Funky Ghost]

The Phills tried to give me a heart attack with the late inning brain farts but the defense was on point. 4 or 5 double plays? It was a lot and they ended up needing them.

Back in the day, I used to go to double headers at County Stadium. With the roof at Miller Park, there are no more rain outs and no more double headers.

Man, if we have confirmed anything in the last few games, it's that the Red Sox play hard until the last pitch. They have come from behind or finished things off in extra innings quite a few times lately.

Still hoping Pedroia can heal up and make an appearance this season.

I don't really like that, because it's making me sad that Felix is losing his touch completely before ever making it to a post season game. He's the Mariners' Ernie Banks.

By all that is righteous, This simply sucks...

Hey, Chip!
Hey, Don!
See y’all Friday...

Isn't it always the way it goes?

You're standing there minding your own business when all of a sudden a moth takes up residence in your left ear.

Ewww.

On a brighter note, the Brewers got out to a big lead in the first again, and this time they finished on top. Woo-hoo!

Like tonight?

That was a slug fest!

 

[MJ5150]

McCutchen kicked the game off by going deep against his former team tonight. He was quiet behind the plate in the first game, but made some nice plays in the field.
Tonight it's SF's turn to score 10, but they sure did it in a hurry.

-Mike

The Braves scored 10 tonight, as well.

Kevin Gausman was great!
8 innings, 6 hits, 1 run.
Why did I think he is older? He’s only 27.

Chad Sobotka made his MLB debut, throwing hitless ball in the 9th, striking out 2.

I know that I swim in the shallow end of the pond...I watch the Braves every night, and (apart from scores) I really can’t speak to what’s going on with the Cubs, or the Cards, or the Rocks...but in my insular little world, surrounded by the NL East, I’d like to think that folks out in the wider world are noticing what Nick Markakis is doing down here, and start talking about him as an MVP candidate.
He really is having a Helluva year!

By the way, I mention this from time to time.

If yiu want to see all of your team's games without paying an arm and a leg, get the MLB package on your computer, not TV. It's a fraction of the cost. We run an HDMI cable from the computer to our receiver and it plays on the TV anyway.

If you get blacked out, use a VPN to trick MLB into thinking you're warching from Africa.

 

[the harp unstrung]

I recently heard from an African PRINCE who tried to interest me in that investment!

2 outs, bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, Cubs down 3-0. David Bote, who's 25 and has all of 75 major league at bats, comes in as a pinch hitter. Boom!
