mlb app says it's in warm up, and mlb.tv has the "the event will begin shortly" screen. I know that is neither a yes nor a no, but so it goes.

A little sad Kyle was optioned as one of the moves that cleared room for Buxton. Is his last name really a homonym for a particular pastry? It certainly sounded that way when announcers talked about him...

Wait, Buxton is back? Like taking candy from a baby! Cue the 35 game win streak! (sadly i just don't think 90-72 will be good enough to make the play offs)

Andrew Albers! Brewers won't know what hit 'em!

Oh, they put their cleats on one foot at a time. And sharpen them to quite the point.

I missed some Astudillo pitching? What a game that musta been! Thumbs up on the Monty Python inspired intro! "Red Sox eunt domus"

Did we win yet?

I have faith in global warming to leave its mark on baseball...

Yes.

Four fried chickens, yes! But where's my coke?

What i miss? Been a long day and i fell asleep with the game on, as is my habit these days....

Warning track power?

Donaldson, i believe in ya!

Sorry i waited so long to rally. Did i do well enough score a comeback? Or should i not call it a comeback?

We and our blues ox... We go this one!

Makes it all the more likely an unfiltered reaction would be entertain, even if not so informative, at least a certain simpleminded subset of fans (i porbably am one) Meh, he comes back when he comes back..

Trick question. Neither is playing today. But tomorrow... Twins, definitely. Definitely Twins. Seeing as i am in the Boston area, and they are hosting the Twins, it would be a rare opportunity to see either team play live.

Byron homers in Saints' game.

Yeay not losing! (boo property damage, and what all other hardships result from inclimate weather)

That's right! How'd they do?

If Maeda is placed on the IL as sounds likely, who gets brought up to take his spot in the rotation? Not to dampen speculation, but i saw Dobnak started a rehab assignment, so he may eventually take a spot, although he probably needs to be stretched out...

Game over. Better luck next time!

And the other team matched our run. Back to where we started... 6 runs down, but only 3 outs to do it in.

Are there enough bows for everyone else...
