Don't worry. I'm sure i'll pace myself. And the sleep schedule is sufficiently erratic, it's not a big deal...

    He played guitar and sang in a classic country band well into his 80's. We are talking Hank Williams country.    They'd play a gig in the middle of nowhere and the place would be packed with Grandpa's

    I believe sitting somewhere silently with a single tear of joy rolling down his cheek as he is overcome with pride and emotion -- looking at his autographed Ploufe rookie card that has been carefully

    Hey All...    Do me a favor and raise your glass (of whatever you are drinking... it's a cup of coffee for me).    Raise your glass for my Uncle Harold.    Lost him today. 

 

Alex Trebek:  The Fifth Inning

 

Contestant:  Why does Mike Pelfrey need to be a reliever?

Alex: Tim Stauffer

Contestant: Why does Mike Pelfrey need to go six?

 

He played guitar and sang in a classic country band well into his 80's. We are talking Hank Williams country. 

 

They'd play a gig in the middle of nowhere and the place would be packed with Grandpa's and Grandma's just dancing up a storm.

 

There simply wasn't another band playing that material anywhere. They were one of a kind because of it...  Talent level didn't matter at all... They just got up and did it and made a whole bunch folks happy. 

 

I'd just watch them and think to myself... That's my Uncle and I just loved it. 

 

He came out and watched my band once... He says to me... You guys are too loud. I think you're good though... but you guys are too loud.  

 

I got to sing Cotton Fields with them once... It was a highlight for me... I was thinking that my Mom would have loved to have seen her brother and son on stage together.

That's touching.  Sorry for your loss, he sounds like he did a great job making a life well-lived.  Glad you had that Cotton Fields moment!  I'm raising my glass for him at the moment.  It's HK, so it's milk tea.  But thoughts from afar to your uncle today.

TTThhhattts gonna leave a mark....

Stauffer= meat.  Damn, TR, what were you thinking?

I know it's early in the season, and there are better measures of performance out there, but looking at the box with everyone under .250 except Mauer...I'm just imaging everyone with OOTP snowflake symbols next to their names.

Everything I learned about General Managin' I learned from OOTP.

Stauffer= meat.  Damn, TR, what were you thinking?

That Petco is a neutral park? That park factors are for Poindexters? What, is this a trick question?

The time lag for my MLB.com feed versus everyone else may not make it apparent, but I called that *before* the HR.

Do the MLBTV live look-ins start in the 6th or the 7th?

 

//awaiting a specific response//

Specifically, yes.

Any particular music we should be listening to?

 

#5 of the thoughts for the game had me thinking of a Marty Robbins song...

I had Buxton and Sano up at this point, and was campaigning for a WS appearance. I don't get what's so hard about this, TR. I mean, OOTP=Real Life, right?

 

PS. Chris Herrmann is AllStar material - flip him to the Rays for their top pitching prospects.

We just doubled our hits with one at bat. 

Herrmann!

 

(Not the Munster, the Twin)

Schaffer better get this down.

Indians b'cast crew are beside themselves over that throw.  They should be.  Wow- not only breaking up the no-no, but a chance to tie the game?

We dodged a bomb there.

Great slide by Herrmann--

Heh... 2 slides, actually!

Edited by David HK

Chisenhall fails to capitalize on Herrmann's overslide.

I like that play.

You just trade all your high priced players for equivalent young talent, and then use the savings to sign new free agents. Genius, eh?

Waaaaah-  ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa!   There's a worse defensive team than us!
