LETS GO!!!!!!!

3 top of the first runs? I'd say we're underway.

Dick said they'd "get into the story about Kepler in a minute" but I didn't hear them address it. Can someone fill me in if they mentioned something?

Checking in from Camden, here for the nightcap with my two younger sons (after afternoon Little League). Beautiful night for some baseball, and a nice start to the game.

 

Now if Schoop can make Baltimore regret not resigning him....

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

[AlwaysinModeration]

Boom

[AlwaysinModeration]

Well, a double, anyway.

[ashbury]

It's easy to get spoiled by good outfield defense. I thought for sure that drive by Schoop would be caught. Pretty bad route by their RFer. I think either Kepler or Buxton would have reached that one. (Well, not Kep today, but you know....)

If it needs a story, I’m worried.

Kepler's got a tummy ache, says Phil Miller.

I was just about to rant about Garver not being a leadoff guy.

 

Shall I rant anyway? ? ?

[Mill1634]

How lucky are we that we avoided Alex Cobb.

 

Yikes.

By all means! Your rants draw raves.

I liked the first version better

 

 

Also, when in Baltimore, watch where you get your crabcakes

[FlauerPauer]

Lookin' good so far. Need to get these games against the Orioles!!

Also when in Boston be careful where you get scrod.

A 3:05/6:05 schedule is really really weird for games that sell individual tickets.

 

Single pay double header........ for this one. Like the old days.

Apparently Parker's also got the bug, but if you're watching the game you just heard that.

[ashbury]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Room Service Double Play!

Wait, you're under the impression that rants should have some basis in reality?

 

Wow, have I been doing it wrong.

[PseudoSABR]

The booth guys mentioned Wilbur Woods, and I was like who, and I came across this article; neat story.

Around the year 2000, I went to a Monday double-header in Milwaukee at old County Stadium, it was against the Astros. Both teams were in the NL at that time. It was a sparse crowd to be sure. Tickets were $1 dollar, included both games. So my Minnesota math tells me that was .50 cents a game. All my savings went to refreshments, if memory serves....

[Blake]

Home run, double...half way to the cycle, there, Mr. Cruz.

[Mill1634]

So nice to have a proven hitter you can count on every single night

[bighat]

Dude, EDDIE!

[FlauerPauer]

Eddie!!!

[ashbury]

ROSARIO !!!!!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Eddie!
