I'm wondering why it feels with the opposing team having bases loaded-nobody out, the over/under feels like about 5 runs. While with our offense, it feels like 1. Maybe I'm just a pessimist pretty much all the time.

Hello Darkness, my old friend.....

Hopefully, a glimpse of the future-- Shutdown starting pitching, yowza defense, Buxton racing, Vargas (and others soon to follow) mashing-- I wanna wreck the AL. Twinkies are long overdue. And we long-suffering fans are hungry for some Chicken Dinnah!

Chicken Dinnah.... Yummmmmmm..... Chicken Dinnah agin the White Sox... YUUUUMMMMMMMM.....

Heh.... Stoney. "Now he turns around to hit from his weak side...." Ba-dum-tsch!

OK, doing some busy work around the house. Think I'll switch back to the Sox feed, to get some peace and quiet. Luv ya, Hawkster!! If the Sox hit one out, that "put it on the board- yes!" will be kind of hipster-ironic! I'll picture Hawk in a pork-pie hat and chin beard....

He chose the espn broadcast to do it on, too. Nice work, young man. Now, more about the Yankees...

Hmmmm... spake the pronosticator

Ohhhh, what a tasty inning!

Arghhhhh---- glad I switched over from Hawk now.

Had to switch over to espn- Haw haw! Glad their Yankee fetish made them bring up getting kicked by the Phils! Hee hee ho ho har..... Correia "outdueling" Pineda!

Great opener today, RiverB- I gotta say, that Sox lineup-- I'm glad they all just reek so far this year. But it's scary-looking in any other year. Or maybe in that other dimension, where Spock wears the goatee...

OMG, I got the Hawkster-- Now I'm really hoping for one of those 12-2 Twinkie games-- Great start, boys!!! Already got a weary sigh out of Hawk--

You are excused for the caps. Completely. Well, this is what I get for watching hockey instead of paying attention to the Twinks game. I'm really happy to see this move. Somehow, I just don't get the same feeling they're going to wreck this young man like they wrecked Hicks. I feel for the dude, but this is exciting for us long-suffering fans. I can't wait to see Mr. B in action.

Heh.... Years ago, I was in Damn Yankees, back in college. I played Smokey, one of the Senators. Did that high part in ' You Gotta Have Heart.' Any chance at hitting those notes again faded away long ago, along with the hairline. Wish I could be there on Date Night!

Hu was? Heh....

ahhh, Perk. Thanks, just in time for class. I'll have my chicken dinnah at lunch time, thx.

Man, even some of those outs are loud.

Haw haw haw--- caught Pirates feed- whoever's the color man is crying- 'we've gotta stop scoring only one at a time. If we keep scoring one, we'll come up a run short!' Must have been a math major, I guess. I nearly got a snot bubble over that one.

Argh, busy morning, just got a moment to check on the game. Yikes. They seem to be trying awfully hard to blow that big lead, but the Pirates won't cooperate. In a hurry, at least. Nice to see both ex-Twinkies in the same game, eh?

I may be in the minority here, but Mr. Plouffe has never impressed me as an outstanding 3B. I know his metrics have improved markedly, but going from absolute suck to competent is kind of a low bar, donchya think? I've not the time nor inclination to analyze a ton of intense stats, but eyeball wise, I still see his positioning and first step, although greatly improved, as less than stellar. Granted, he's made plenty of highlight reel plays, but some of those I've seen needn't have been highlight-reel quality with better positioning. As for Mr. Sano, well, I'm old enough to remember a certain Idahoan holding down 3B in the late 60's-early 70's. And even as a little kid playing Pee Wee ball, I understood you sacrifice some defense for a load of offense at that position. I don't know what the fuss is about having Sano become an elite-level fielder as well as hoping for 40 HRs out of him annually. If he can play an adequate 3B, (as Mr. P is doing now), and slug the ball around, I'll live without a few Gold Gloves over there. As the old-timers used to say -oops, guess I am one, now-- the biggest thing you need to have at 3rd is a "strong chest." Yep. He's got that.

OMG, What????? Just came back for the papers I forgot, and get THIS news? WTF, Molly? I thought we'd already dodged the Boyer Bullet for this game.

Drag, too- they're on to me here at school. Blocking all the sport-streaming sites, have to follow on a scoreboard one. And you lot, for the commentary. Oh, well, off to class again. Hopefully, the rally happens when I'm away.

What th...? We got out of that one? wow, hats off to my man Boyer. That is, if my heart can climb back down from my larynx. See what you do to me, Big Red?
