Those things are not mutually exclusive.

Beat me to it, but I'll add that neither the possibility of an afternoon of right-handed Mauer or crazy 70charger is necessarily a bad thing either.

Baseball is unpredictable sometimes.  Who would have thought the bullpen had issues that needed to be addressed this season?  Some things you cannot plan or anticipate or address..

****, I'm staying inside to drink alone the rest of the weekend.       More than usual I mean.

Can someone replay that inning for me and tell how many runs they would have scored if that idiotic sac bunt attempt by Escobar had succeeded? TIA.

IDK,  I'm pretty happy with a 4 run inning and a 5-0 lead.   Especially with Erv on the moung.

So, I was thinking about blue jays (the bird). It's a good-looking bird but it has an obnoxious call and it's an obnoxious bird. Pushes other birds around like it owns nature and a messy eater. Does that carry over to the team that is its namesake and the fans thereof? An opinion on this matter from any qualified observer (for example a resident of a large city in southern Manitoba) would be interesting to read.

Neil Allen just said (OK, on tape) that Santana gets after it. If I wasn't on the Fire Allen bandwagon before, I am now.

Did Neil play with Gardy on the Mets at the same time? May explain things.

Are you sure you've got the right team?

More of a Tranna fan thing than a Blue Jay fan thing. Though I don't live in a large city so my opinion may not be valid.

I give up. What's a moung?

A commune of Khmer villages in the Battambang Province of Cambodia. He means that Ervin's stuff is so hard to pick up that it might as well be coming at them from Southeast Asia.

 

Bam. That just happened. You're welcome.

I made an error it was the Pioneer Press that reported it!

As opposed to if it had been the Strib, in which case your mistake would have been reading it in the first place.

Dozier's season had gradually gone from worrisome to excellent, but with the rest of the team settling back into its 90 loss form, he reminds me more and more of the mid-90's Knoblauch, a perennial All Star whose best years were wasted while surrounded by a collection of stiffs and kids.

Well all except the perennial all star part! :)

Blue Jays as a baseball team nickname has some history, I'm sure because it connotes the feistiness you described. The Phillies tried to adopt the name 1943-8.

Slightly off topic:  The Mavericks will be at the Rialto in downtown Tucson next Saturday.  So will Mrs Chief and her date.

 

Even better:  There's still a chance she takes me!!

I did not know she was from Texas, nor an NBA fan? You wanna go get a beer while they go to the game? :)

Come for the baseball banter, stay for the geography lesson.
