2 down, 6 and a half to go (i hope) 0-0 is Circus Boy Directionless and unitless Date.

Oh well. At least there's a game. And we made it to the bottom of the first without falling behind. (A CBU by any other name...)

W[r]ong aspect ratio?

I guess we only struggle in unusual ways. I'm glad we won(g). (Am still thinking of how to put a really bad joke into words about not swinging at non-strikes...)

I know. A strike out. No longer in line for a triple play...

Say it again, it might work this time...

Almost, Rosario. Kept them at first and second at least. (The rare circumstances for a triple play)

Hooray! Thought someone was pulling my leg for moment... Good triple by Rosario, by the way. And way to leg it out Nunez!

How come we need a fall guy? It's still spring... technically.

They do it the ol' fashion way. They (l)earn 'em. (Purely speculation of course. I'm not privy to the Cardinals' system)

Yeah, that was pretty subtle. I too wouldn'ta gotten it off hand were it not for the Chief. (What was that about explaining jokes?!) If i had to make a joke, it woulda been a reference to this: Someday, i'll learn...

I guess i remember the ones turned against us more, as they seem more important... Sorry.

Oh yeah. That's what double plays look like when we turn 'em!

That 4th wasn't quite reminiscent of the first 2 games of '87, but better than we've had in a while...

"Attached thumbnails" sounds disconcerting. But the picture of cones is pretty. And as long as it isn't elsewhen, that's okay with me. Just can't seem to get a grip on simultaneity...

Done and done. (Double by Plouffe, K for Hunter, Single by Rosario (Plouffe to third), Rosario draws an errant throw, allowing him to advance to 3rd and Plouffe to score) And Nunez sac flies Rosario home! 2-1 Twins w/ 2 outs in the 4th.

Oh my... But i thought it wasn't... I'm confused.

Where?

Yes.

I think it was a clever plot to bate the runner into coming home when he saw it was uncovered. It almost worked too. If it had, i guess it would have been 2-0. But only 1-0. CBD. (A Circus Boy Date of the up variety)

Milone is there with a fine brush for the detailed painting of the corners. And, which is more, the ump is right there with him. (That's a happy little tree. Some might think it's lumber, but it's planted upright on the batter's shoulder.)

The good kind of bad? Like Phat? Anyway, what are your thoughts now? Better late than never, as the saying goes...

So how much '87 nostalgia is surrounding this series? Are we supposed to unleash the kracken in the 4th? What's that you say? 2 grand slams?

No arm wrestling necessary. Redundancy has its value. (I'll see you're redundant and raise ya... That sounds like a thread...) 0: Game. Now. 1: Who win?

But not the minimalest... Coulda done less...
