Its like teaching. We're gonna keep doin' it until we get it right! How can ya have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

A tragedy indeed. Sorry to hear it.

Break on through to the other side, as it were. Alas next time will hopefully also be such a time.

Is that another contributing factor to the shortness of the threads?

Doh! I forgot weekend games are an hour earlier... Glad i didn't miss as much as i might have.

CRU... Cedar Rapids gives up a run in the top of the 9th to go down 2-1. Then starts the bottom off with a pair of doubles (a double double) to put runners on 2nd and 3rd... And brings 'em both in eventually to win the game.

Nunez at short, Herrmann catching, Buxton in center (at #9, so Dozier back in lead off and everyone moves up) Oh yeah, Happy Birthday, Ashbury Sr.!

Oh well. Goonies make mistakes. Just don't make any more... Meanwhile, down on the farm... Western Rapids and Cedar Michigan are tied at 1 in the top of the 4th... And i guess we don't have to wait long to get back on the horse, as it were. Thanks for the company, as spotty as my attendance was!

The tough... ,,, ... get going! That's not a fork... This is a fork! Oh, and Buxton's on first. Well done, Torii!

Game isn't over 'til we say it's over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Bunt foils my plans... Clever angels.

Boyer's got 'em set up for a triple play... Sneaky. (also he's gonna keep the infield fly rule in order)

I don't know... Nice weather? Football? Short notice? People don't have 12 innings in them?

Take a different tact... Torii, yer missin' the Notre Dame Game.

They didn't get the memo...

Oh, and remember to stick a fork in them... Assuming they're boiled.

Hot dogs might actually hit the spot... Oh, and running over apples with a lawn mower isn't exactly the best way of making apple sauce. But i'm sure the deer and woodchucks won't complain...

Extra innings... Who'da thunk?

Yup. Yankees exploited it to good effect.

Go ahead. Do that. Just whatever ya do, don't throw 'em into the brier patch... er, i mean the post season.

Inning ain't over... Plouffe and Hunter at the corners. Whatcha gonna do this time, Rosario?

Fien hooked him. Okay, 2 run deficit. We can get this! But as DaveW saith... (3-1 halfway through the 7th, a U for those CBs)

He's been mostly dead all day...

Do we got their number?

One doesn't seem good enough at this point. (But i can't complain about a Rosario triple, nor that Suzuki got him in.)
