MLB Says game is postponed

Yup.  That wasn't there two minutes ago but postponed due to rain.  Double-header on Thursday ... so ... I'll leave this thread up and active and we'll start from here tomorrow!

MLB Says game is postponed

What?!  With no game thread, it will be a night devoid of meaningful, thoughtful conversations (with a very occasional non sequitur).  I guess it will just make me appreciate the thread more tomorrow.

I should read a book too...

 

Figured i'd mention Worley got Revere to ground out 4-3.

And Revere catches Worley's fly to deep center to lead off the second.

 

Who'd a thunk...

This one is in heavy rotation at my house these days.  Good read, although it is necessary to correct the author's use of "head coach" instead of "manager".

I really needed to read Brian's #5 today.  Thanks for posting something that gave me a lift.

I thought that's why winter league baseball was invented.

Carnac: "Give me a lift."

Ed: Give me a lift.  Does this pertain, somehow, to your Mercedes breaking down on the Hollywood freeway?

Carnac: I keep a Yugo in the trunk as a spare, if that ever happens.

Ed: Hey-yo!  In that case, perhaps your prognostication refers to some form of elation?

Carnac: Not really, though in your case, a truckload of beer would barely suffice I imagine.

Ed: I can't mention my sponsor's name in this context, can I?

Carnac: You can try, but if the network notices, you will be sadder bud-wiser.

Ed: Hey-yo!  Mission accomplished.

Carnac: Hm, that phrase worked out so well the last time somebody famous used it.

Ed: So now I'm famous?  I never thought I'd hear you admit that.

Carnac: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your beer delivery fleet.

Ed: It's not my fleet, but hey-yo anyway.  Would you be so kind as to open the envelope?

Carnac: "What did Kevin Hart say to his orthopedic shoe maker?"

A win one night, followed by a rain out? That just about qualifies for a winning streak around here!
