It would be nice for Hendriks to get at least one win this year. But today's lineup does not seem to be designed to score a lot of runs.

Hey Glunn... How's things in California. I'm watching Hendriks and hoping for good things. I did the same thing watching Terry Felton many years ago.

The weather here is beautiful and the women are still magnificent. I share your hopes for Hendriks, but he is off to a bad start today with two early runs and men still on base. I will need to google Terry Felton.

[glunn]

Now I understand the Terry Felton reference. I pray that Hendriks does not shatter Felton's record.

[JB_Iowa]

Congrats to Willinghammer. Could he have trotted more slowly, though?

Felton had some stuff. It didn't help him though. He did not survive 1982. 0 and 13 is hard on job security. Hendriks has to be tying himself in knots mentally right now. Gardy tells him to attack the zone and the Royals bang out two runs in the 1st.

Assuming that it's not a banned substance, I would recommend that Hendriks get a prescription for Inderal. Inderal reduces the production of adrenaline and performers use it to prevent stage fright.

I just got the following error message -- "Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting."

 

Did I do something wrong?

[JB_Iowa]

The site has seemed "wonky" today. I've had to sign in about 4 times.

[Riverbrian]

I've been fine so far. The site has been normal as far as I can tell. U2 are in trouble or something. Too many negative posts from the both of you.

[greengoblinrulz]

Would anything be better than seeing Butera get hurt (w/Mauer/Doumit unavailable tonight). Took that foul tip off his wrist....got my attention

[Riverbrian]

What's up with Doumit?

[Riverbrian]

Clay Matthews needs a hair cut. Oops sorry... Wrong sport.

My negative posts have focused on my own despair not attacking anyone.

You know I was kidding right? I always read your posts cuz I know you are coming from a good place.

[Brock Beauchamp]

We're coming after you, Glunn.

 

Seriously, though... I think the server was just lagging a bit. I approved your post. It never should have been held in the first place.

[Riverbrian]

Lol... JB Iowa is ok as well?

Maybe that's why DPJ has seemingly disappeared today.

Thanks, Brian. I bleed Twins blue.

This site has been slow for me for a couple days now.

Is there someplace I can look to see if Inderal is a banned substance in baseball? I have used it myself when giving speeches and it virtually eliminates stage fright. If Hendriks could use this, it might help him a lot.

[Riverbrian]

Brock is picking people off... Mmm... I was noticing a red laser like dot on my chest earlier. I changed seats... Just in case.

[JB_Iowa]

Iowa is good - nice and cool today and we actually had a 1/2 inch of rain yesterday. Although my Hawkeyes look like (seomething I won's mention here).

 

The boys need to get Hendriks some runs here.

A large dose of Tequila does the same thing for me.

[greengoblinrulz]

What's up with Doumit?

 

Rib strain .....day to day, so possibly out for year??

[Riverbrian]

Iowa... Percentage of Hawkeye/Cyclone Fans? Is there any reason to be a primary Northern Iowa or Drake Fan with those big programs hanging around? Is the allegiance geographical?

[Riverbrian]

What's up with Doumit?

Seriously... It's playoff time in my fantasy league. Doumit is my #1.

Me too, but Inderal does not affect your ability to perform complex tasks like Tequila does.
