Here's that cone for you...

I really don't need any ice cream ... took my dad to the DQ twice last week.  We were both very happy with that.

In news from another part of the country, Cedar Rapids scored 2 in the top of the 8th to break the tie.

And Harrison walks!  Miracle 5, Cubs 0 ... and Hicks up to bat ... 

Okay, 3 outs ... Miracle heading to the top 9th, 5-0 ... 3 outs to a win.

Many latin descendents of the late Emperor Nero era settled in the Orange County area, and you know how the Romans loved baseball.

People always say the game used to be better back then - although some of that is looking back with rose colored glasses.  I tend to think throwing any pitcher who did not make it into the sixth inning to the lions was a little harsh.  

Let' get them both wins.  Looking good!

Nice hair!

We decided to go with the popcorn instead.

And Burdi retires the side, 3 up, 3 down!  The Miracle win!!  They lead the series 2-0 over the Daytona Cubs!

Thanks for the updates, much appreciated.

welcome ... just listening to the radio over the internet  Grew up listening to baseball on the radio ... seems natural.

It is not an either or situation - you can look good in both a suit and a pair of zubaz:

That high-contrast look depends heavily on the mullet to pull it all together, but Arcia should be in good shape if he grows it out in the back some more...

What 'av the Romans ever done for us?

I like watching Pinto run.  Just a fast chug chug ... short little legs flying

I'm thinking the hitters do not want to lose this game.

Pinto on the bench tomorrow?

Hicks!

Yes, the Nero Leagues were an unjustly overlooked era in baseball, though the Hall of Fame has been working on that.

Not sure why they run Herrmann out there. 

 

Talk about a non prospect.

 

Nice game by Hicks so far.

pfft.  you ol' softie you.  That's the kind of thinking that led to IV straight XC loss seasons for the home town IX from CDIV thru CDI!  

I'd like to see Hicks run here.

Hicks looks like he had more confidence. He doesn't look so lost at the plate.

yeah, but you passed out on ice cream

Wouldn't be the 1st time

If the Twins can get back to being a respectable .V team next year it may be cause to party like it's MCMXCIX....

.V?  or maybe you mean .D?

ISWYDT. Nice.

Yes, the Nero Leagues were an unjustly overlooked era in baseball, though the Hall of Fame has been working on that.

Just as long as they do not whitewash some of the uglier aspects of the league and the time.  Hannibal, while known for being one of the best players or the era, was not even allowed to play in the Nero league.

If everyone is sitting down... I'll tell you that Ben Revere just hit a bottom of the ninth two out game tying home run
