I am not much of a Fast Ball Inside. They're liable to get turned on something fierce. Not that they don't have their place. But i like to think of myself as more of a Knuckler. But i see the connection. Don't want to get my hopes up, but i might figure thigs out yet... My, but almost 2 hours to game time goes slowly...

Been a while since i wrote a jingle... Let's see what i got. Ya throw the fast ball in Ya throw the curveball out. Ya spike a slider in the dirt and ya strike the batter. Ya wave the catcher off while ignoring the dugout. That's when they take you out! Not my best, but it is kimda jinglish... Think they'll like it?

So a sense of humor... Is what they don't have? I don't get it, big Dan.

What is this "sense of humor" you speak of?

I aim for my catcher's glove. That's the best i can hope for. In high school i got a well deserved nick name that reflected my barn door accuracy. It might have improved somewhat by the time i would be called u, but i wouldn't count on it...

Yeah, hopefully heavy lifting is done, and only finishing touches are left. Maybe soon we can enjoy the character they have built. Road games... we seem to be more on top of them this season. Like it's okay to wear t-shirts and flipflops and loaf about the sofa that is Target Field, but we're on our best behavior at other folks' place so they know we were raised right. Here's to a good game! Oh. Yeah i could be wrong, but Los Angeles just might be The Angels in Spanish.

Still in first, thanks to Oakland and percentage points.... Coulda been worse.

Most pitchers only throw with one hand... If it took both hands, then i'd be worried. Or at least perplexed.

I knew there was a reason i walked to school...

Alright... Gonna grab a bite to eat. When i come back, i wanna see this here mess cleaned up, okay?

Buxton finds himself in scoring position. So far, so good.

We just want to make them feel like they're doing well...

Yeah, that woulda been nice. But there will be another chance. If folk don't mind, i'll offer up this wee musical interlude:

Gimenez rocks the walk.

¡Rosario! A single brings Kepler home.

Yeah, gameday always has interesting temporary updates for complex plays... In play, run(s) hopefully will be more common in the bottom of innings going forward.

Hey look at that... Both catchers are in today's line up. I expect they're going to set the record straight today!

An obvious strength of our ball club is the fans. Clearly we have the most insightful bunch. I can't speak for anyone else, but I gotta be nearly hall of fame calliber in the self-congratulatory standings. Now if i can only get my jinx ratio under 1...

Well... I guess we lost the lead earlier in the game. Someone once said there would be days like this...

Don't tell the Astros, but we scored two in the first...

Thanks for the intro! I hope we win! I expect to play softball again tonight, and should perhaps look for my team shirt now. They let us pick our numbers, so i took Gladden's old number (and Hicks? although he has moved on to greener pastures... or at least greener pinstripes How's he doing these days?) Anyway, some teammates gave me a hard time for not wearing it last week. Being the type of folk who dress up for revolutionary time reenactments, they tend to feel a bit more strongly than i about uniforms and such...

Our ballclub is going to have so much character... Someday, i hope i have 1/25 the character of this team!

I partook of 2 parades today, so i napped once we was down by 2... Looks like missed some good fish tales about the one what got away.

They scores on us? No way!

I thought it had something to do with a forward pass. But that might be due to dead music. Oh, and pie.
