Is this how a dollar store goes out of business?

I still got a late break on it, and didn't call it. I think i just cut it off and held 'em to a single. Now i hope to make up for it at the plate.

Now we're cooking with gas! A real game thread intro. Game's as good as won. Sorry step on yer toes earlier...

Rip emergency game thread...

Sorry. My bad on the latter part. I bet tonight we'll be treated to a real intro.

So... I ain't the albatross? I suppose that is a relief off sorts...

What is it now? .126?

I could be wrong, but i am under the impression the 26th man can only play in the 2nd game...

Outfield assist goes to Kepler. That is one way of stopping the bleeding. Last game we answered everything until they hung a 4 spot on us. Hope the take away lesson wasn't that those leads are insurmounable. I am going off to do stuff just to verify i ain't the albotross about their neck.

Mauer and Sano single in 1st. Polanco doubles to lead off 2nd. All for naught. Still 1-0 game. I must have mislaid the kindling or something. Or it got wet last night.

Research shows lone run in game due to an Arenado dinger. 2nd inning... my how time flies.

Rain out make up throwing a spanner in the spokes... Just getting something up before the game gets away from us... There is an ancient saying... Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life. I am not sure, how it applies here. I just figured i'd try to get discussion going as we're already down 1-0 in the first and i figure, well, that should light a fire under us... or something. Rockies German Marquez (R ) 1.

What about this afternoon game what just started? (or am i being obtuse)

Should we start thinking about June? Or is it too far away... If the dog days are of August... what kind of days are of June? May i nominate anaconda? Being how they are long? Or perhaps the stately tortoise....

The of the double header is here. (probably sounds better in subtitles) I mean to have surplus attentiom for both, but i may end up only breaking even...

So... I didn't miss anything? I can live with that... I'll try to pay better attention tomorrow. I just hope there won't be a test at the end of the season...

Oh well. Thanks for the company!

Can't wait to say we AJ'd 'em if we pull it out.

He hung tough, and got to first on a dropped 3rd.

2nd double for Castro. Insert obligatory framing comment here.

Spring cleanin', eh? Mind if i take a few?

So we answered so far each inning. This seems like a taller order though...

We hung a goose egg! Finally a chance to jump out in front, and not just play ketchup. (thereby offending the sensibilities of Chicago)

Oh, i get it! That is an appy-tie, sir!

Is that a hotdog i see before me? Um... Gouts of mustard and whatnot...
