My dog, Buxton can talk.  No...really.  

 

My friend Ashbury was visiting recently, but didn’t believe that Buxton could talk. So Ash asked him, “What’s on top of a house?”

 

“Roof,” said Buxton.

 

Ash wasn’t convinced. So he asked Buxton how sandpaper feels.

 

“Rough.”

 

Ash had a bemused look on his face..."I think I see what you're trying to pull, here, Chief.  But OK,  I'll play along.  He turned to Buxton and, with a wry smile, asked "O.K., who was the greatest baseball player of all time?” 

 

“Ruth.”

 

With that, Ash gave us a little courtesy laugh, and walked away.

 

Buxton looked up and me and said "He's one of them saber guys, isn't he.  I should have said Bonds."

I believed every word of the story, up until the "friend" part. Then I knew you were just making things up.

Often, when driving, I amuse myself by swerving at anyone I see walking who's wearing a Yankee jersey or hat.  Oh, I swerve back, I don't actually hit them, I just like to scare 'em.

 

Yesterday, on my way home, I saw a priest walking, and it's way too darn hot here in August to be walking.  I pulled over and offered him a ride.

 

Well, we got to talking, and sure enough...there's a Yankee fan walking along the street.  I forgot for just an instant my passenger, instinct took over, and I swerved hard at him.

 

Ashamed, I immediately apologized to the priest.  "Geez, I'm sorry father.  I almost hit that man."

 

"It's ok, my son," he said.  "You missed....but I got him with the door."

So, Hernandez is suing for discrimination. 

 

Good grief.

 

It's all about Angel, I see.

 

Of course, that sort of defines Hernandez career, I guess.

I hope Berrios is watching Greinke and saying to himself, "I can do that." Berrios has that kind of talent, capable of totally shutting down an offense.

Those things are so noisy!

 

Pipe down there!

 

Some of us are trying to keep up with all the scoring in this game...

I would seriously squeeze in this situation.

It's harder to squeeze with bases loaded, it becomes a force play at the plate and that reduces the time for the runner. 

 

Not impossible, but harder.

Iffy. Tough ball to judge.

It shouldn't have been.  The ball was low and landed 15-ish feet in front of the center fielder.
