Down 1-0 after 1. I have it on good authority that the sky is falling.

Brought a sousaphone... That good enough?

Looks like slept through a good game. Rolling over and sleeping another few hours. Said i'd be up 6ish to be in a parade some 2 hours away...

Aren't you glad we didn't draw it out? One of the first lessons of college life as i understand it is mandatory=optional.

Alas, i would not be prepared if gravity reversed itself...

Sano the Just? Just Sano to nickname... I will think upon it.

Weennah!

Does that count as a shutdown inning?

Alright, hold strong, Gibby!

And Buxton calls off the infield on a shallow fly, and subtly snags it as it looks like they misplay it. Pretty slick.

Nothing doing. It's like we got an albatross round our neck, or something.

Same ol' same ol'. A quiet game so far

Nice long first inning with a Grossman walk and Sano single. But alas, nothing to show for it on the score board...

And... Play ball!

I wonder if Who went there...

I think my High School randomized the order of diplomas. Small enough to do that...

All's quiet on the Western... coast Go ahead... post a thought or two about this here upcoming challenge of baseball teams. Or about life, music, frivolity, what have ya. Like "hey, did ya see the Kennys is DHing tonight. I bet he turns it on tonight by turning on it." Don't make me use another chiefism...

Things seem a might quiet... Y'all must actually be paying attention to the commencement address? Figure i would try my hand at a little chiefism to lighten the mood. Did you hear about that one time when the home team was tied in the bottom the 9th with the bases loaded, and they had someone from the stands pinch hit? It resulted in the first, last, and only... walk on walk off... walk.

Absolutely no worries. Some riff on the "great minds think alike" explanation of coincidences would seem to be in order... but i'm too lazy. And you undoubtedly have a more valid perspective on the graduation ceremonies. My recent exposure was volunteering to play tuba in a band. Have no other affiliation with that particular institute of learning, so being in front of everyone, i had to do my best to keep a straight face during the proceedings, playing music during the entrance and exits. I think i did okay... My weird observation upon reading a program: Apparently in certain sacred contexts, the letters STD after one's name probably don't mean the first thing that came to my mind...

Ninja'd... Back to the game thread intro drawing board...

Is that the Mariners turning the table on us? Or just an expression of our exasperation?

Perhaps... if you don't mind dried out chewing gum..

Now let's hold this lead just a little bit longer...

In theory, is a 1 pitch inning is now possible?
