It is a rain delay, but the rain isn't being delayed... Funny that.

Buxton... But fans don't get to keep inside the parkers, do they? But alas, it gets scored a triple with Buxton advancing on the throw home...

ftfy... But yeah, the version i grew up with was a foam ball roughly tennisball sized in a netting. Didn't hurt so much, but took better eye/hand coordination than the more common version.

Nah, i will find winning out in my own good time, and i appreciate seeing what folk think. (and post for that matter) I just am not yet tethered to the game thread continuously, even if it seems that way sometimes... More importantly though, i wanna know what i think, and sometimes chatting or scratchpaper or game threading helps me figure that out...

Wow. I gotta admit having game 1 on 4/4 is pretty clever. Mildew can be pretty serious stuff. Just check out a summer camp lost and found bin. Or rather, please don't. Just take my word for it... How come it is called mildew? Is it found in mills? Or is there a stronger version called hot-ew or heavy-ew? Is mild-ish a thing? But i degress. Hope they play! And i will try to think up good names for other games to rectify this nominal imbalance. (And i shall call you squishy... perhaps not.)

Say that reminds me... ever hear the story of the yellow fingers?

Should this thread get 20 responses, it will be 2 pages. 1/4 of the way already... Anyway we are still jumping the gun. Game is still more than 2 hours away, even if it is today...

Nevermind. Likely just making sure the game is actually taking place. Wouldn't want to think for nothing... Would we?

To the courtesy phone in the lobby. Don't know if it has a color associated with it anymore, so you should probably dust it off first... Speaking of which, i'll be outside holding my horses...

Thanks. I shall stay tuned... Has there ever been a double header opening day?

I too am anticiating it. Only one man can thread this many games... Sometimes you raise the bar... Sometimes the bar, well he raises you. Monday, right?

No extras? This ends with a tie, eh? Good tune up.

But i was still wrong... I guess i was wrong about what i thought i was wrong about. If someone has to be the jinx, it might as well be me.

Glad he's in some form at least. Be hard to hold a ball otherwise.

Doh. My bad. I knew the score to be 8-6, then read what i thought said: Revere singles on soft line drive to left fielder. Darin Mastroianni, Jose Lonaton score. Glad i was wrong...

Revere has tied the game... Well, to be clear, the runners on base when he got his hit, they scored, thus tying the game...

Indeed. When the trade was made, my thoughts were that i liked it on account of reading some note about being told to learn how to throw people out in AA, and during the next month or so, he figured it out. Which for me speaks to being a quick study. So i'm looking forward to how he does.

Sounds right... Glad i am not the only one who finds it complicated. Whatever it was, glad Rosario found the next gear there.

Yay! He made it to 3rd this time!

I forget. In clutch situations, is the clutch engaged or disengaged. I know how it's done, i just never was clear on the proper terms...

I think i know...To inspire hubris in our foes. Classic Greek stratagem.

Zimmerman up again. Now let's see if Nolasco has made an adjustment...

Could someone provide an A?

Welcome to Page 2 of this thread. (Just felt it had to be said...)

Driving for another few hours. I look foreward to seeing the catch replay when i get there. Remind me to relate my pop's story of the greatest catch he never saw at somepoint...
