I'd believe it. That sounds like taking good care of her. Hope things work out both for your dog and for the Tokyo trip.

Mauer swings at the first pitch. So does Sano. 2 more runs for a 7-0 lead (wait, we've been remiss for Mr. Circus Boy, eh?)

Nice catch, Duffey.

Actually, no, it was pretty good. I'm just culturally stunted. I googled blue crab, which brought up the wiki disambiguation page, and it's apparently the Maryland state crustacean. This gives added depth and resonance to a running gag i had not hitherto understood. I'm sorry i was so lazy.

Do we nick name folk? Would Mr. Gong show be apt for an adept with the hook?

Oh, congrats on 12k. Wasn't paying attention. Did ya do aught to celebrate it or mark the occasion?

Concur. This Duffey seems like a keeper.

Not if he hesitated an entire at bat...

You can take some scene from Preditor franchise if your lacking inspiration...

If i ever get an honorary degree or knighthood, i'm going to try to finnagle the letters WTF to put after my name...

I don't like seein' Escobar out at the plate... But otherwise this inning has been pretty satisfactory.

I'm not sure i got it... And i hesitate to ask it to be explained 'cause i've already been chided on that account. But is blue crab anything like blue cheese? The only connection i can make is crab rangoons...

Hunter and Suzuki come through, and we have us a lead. And still none out for the Escobar!

Obviously awaiting USFDA approval...

Ah, so that's what good bunting looks like... Nicely done, Senor Rosario! Bases loaded, no outs, what will happen?! (suspenseful, no?)

Sano! (with a walk) Plouffe! (just keepin' in practice)

CBU, eh? True dat. Uneventful first leaves a scoreless game. Hurray for the second inning!

Good ol' fjords of Baltimore.

Thanks! Yeay, the rainbow ends in half an hour.

Any word on the delay? Or do i have to do my own research...

Me too. I'd like them to give 'em all a run for their money, and youngsters get used to the fact that, yes, you can make a difference in the outcome of each and every game, and subsequently, the season. "Never give up! Never Surrender!" (I think i once heard someone name that as the best star trek movie, and i find it hard to disagree, even based on a technicality)

"What a glorious feeling, i'm happy again!" (imagine your own splish splash sound effects...)

Rain sounds like good weather to go to the water park, eh? Fewer lines, and all, and if your going to be wet anyways... hmmm... He jumps off the rubber, and scoops up that nubber, weak contact on sliders alive, alive o! (sorry, a continuation of a thought)

My answer is; yes. But rather unlikely, what with Rosario still hitting triples and that big a lead. I wouldn't complain if it turned out to be competitive like Rosario and Sano's homer totals way back when... And thinkin' of Crabs just drives home the need for a Molly/Tommy Milone parody... Throwin' fastballs and Sliders alive, alive oh! (Now you've done it...) At least that'll be a different game this series.

"I looked into the trap, Ray."
