Baseball: The final frontier.

 

Our 6 month mission to visit strange new ballparks, seek out new plates and new pitches to launch over fences, and to boldly catch what no one has caught before.

 

Coaches log: Stardate* some Saturday out Sirius way. We are in skirmishes along the Ranger neutral zone.

 

We have suffered heavy casualties, with Chief Bomba Office Cruz and Raincatcher Buxton amongst the sickbay residents. It has been a constant trial keeping the crew to their stations, maintaining moral while training replacements on the fly, while not mixing metaphors outside of the genre. But amid this adversity, we persevere. And things are not as bad as all that.

 

Today, hopefully we are not wearing the red uniforms...

May the Force be with us!

 

Hang on, that’s not right...

I wouldn't suggest asking Liz Taylor or Burt Reynolds. Things generally didn't work out that well for them when they tried it. 

May the Force be with us!

 

Hang on, that’s not right...

We got a few lefties.

 

With them the force will be...

 

Er... May be. Maybe?

Very carefully, I would imagine. 

Yankees 6, Cleveland 5 - final.

 

Let's go boys!

Yesterday at work there were a few millenials who couldn't remember the name of the actor who portrayed James Tiberius Kirk. I guess I'm just getting old.

Jurado has a pretty mediocre track record, and has been worse in his past 15 games, and even worse in his past 7 games. Golden opportunity tonight to put a little distance on the Indians. Let’s go, Jose, pitch well.

And by worse in his past seven, I mean over 7 ERA, over 1.6 WHIP, under 5IP/game, 24:14 K/BB in 33IP with 41 hits. Love this matchup.

Cleveland 3 back in the losses,  Lets keep it above 3 - look at the schedules of both teams between sept 3 and the 15th,  Not easy for us but after that its all a.l. central

Jose - we would all like to see ya go at least 7 tonight, or more,  Show us !!

*um... how does one date a star?

Good grief, he’s 88!

Oh yeah...

 

Play Ball!

Signs of life for the visiting landing party in this strange world called Texas. Despite reports of gloom and doom, further readings indicate the 4th best record in all of MLB despite some strange anomalies.

 

All ahead full!

that’s Star Wars not Star Trek

Anyone know why the game hasn't started yet?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a really, really nasty bad guy once asked Kirk if he knew the old Klingon saying, "Bombas are a dish best served cold."

 

I think it was something like that, but I may be wrong.

Ouch, sorry. Low-hanging fruit.

My apologies for being young.

Just ask the Tampa Bay Rays if Hamilton should be celebrated...
