A Chevy person?

That's immaterial...

Probably, but i'm still in disbelief of suspension. I think that whole argument could have happened when he was charged for a mound visit, and if he lost it then, he could actually make use of the visit, and perhaps not be ejected, or end Sanchez' night prematurely.

I'm back. Time to make good on that.

That would be IX.

To break up all C sounds in that sentence? Gordon's grand grab is my headline vote.

Winter is coming.

And no surprise Buxton be resting. I don't suppose anyone has any news?

Stream* of consiousness game thread introduction... (which despite my occasional attempts to impose order, most all my intros end up being this... believe me, if i figure out how to write them in my sleep, i am sure i will, if only for the novelty of it) On paper we are looking at a three game losing streak on the line, depending on journeyman injury replacement pitcher on the road facing a future hallof famer and Cy Young candidate at home heading AL West juggernaut. Has there been more lopsided epectations since David met Goliath** in the Bible? Probably... (feel free to name a few) like Karate Kid or just because of the name: ROCKY! 0. Aaron Sanchez (R) P 1. Luis Arraez (L) 1B 2. Carlos Correa (R) SS 3. Jorge Polanco (S) 2B 4. Jose Miranda (R) DH 5. Nick Gordon (L) CF 6. Max Kepler (L) RF 7. Gio Urshela (R) 3B 8. Jake Cave (L) LF 9. Gary Sanchez (R) C and... Bullwinkle? 0. Justin Verlander (R) P 1. Jose Altuve (R) 2B 2. Yuli Gurriel (R) 1B 3. Yordan Alvarez (L) LF 4. Alex Bregman (R) 3B 5. Kyle Tucker (L) RF 6. Trey Mancini (R) DH 7. Jeremy Pena (R) SS 8. Mauricio Dubon (R) CF 9. Martin Maldonado (R) C 83F and 25% precipitation (but i think they are in a dome, so that is misleading) And i am sure Correa will be well received, but no one is pulling any punches. And as a final note, being the dog days of August, i'll end with a clip of Ralph: (And with all the clips, maybe no one will notice how short this is... Ah, back in the day intro writers would write the complete game thread...) * In the draught conditions, more like a trickle so as to conserve thought. ** This is not meant to suggest bean balls, no matter what the unwritten rules are. Though i do wonder what trashcan rhythm denoted that...

Antivenom, stat!

Sigh. Gordon, that was well struck, but not where they ain't...

Were, were? Is werewolf saliva a PED?

No, tonight ends in a "t". (I'm pretty sure this is a night game)

You can take Buxton out of the game, but you can never take the game out of Buxton...

Cave. Our secret weapon.

I suppose maybe we would play better if i were more dismal? How do folk do this dismal thing?

I bet smallball numbers can work too.

Kepler! A hustle play (and hope the pitcher isnokay)

Yes.

Yup. Houston is pretty far....

It is easier to play for one run if you have to. Yes, I think the Twins will score again. If not today, tomorrow.

Two outs...

Well, 1 run in... We can still limit the damage.

I got faith. He's a wizard. I think Gandalf was named after him.

A foot short... I wonder if he fields that cleanly could he have gotten the force at second?
