Sano and Astudillo need more work in AAA. Arraez is here to stay. Adrianza has been better than Astudillo lately.

Wo! The cart got in the front of the horse!

It has been a monumental drop off for la tortuga. But it had to be

Should his BABIP be .250? I’m legit asking because I got no clue with his unique profile.

 

Seems if .300 is the expected BABIP, that should be near exactly his average.

I usually get the “Hot Russian brides” ads. Dang search history

 

Well, you don't want ads for not hot Russian brides. And the thing is, they're even scarier in person than in the pictures (see inset).

I can not tell you how many late night west coast trips I used to listen to through hard car radio static just to follow this team. And the amazing internet magic is amazing to actually be able to watch the game!

 

But the feeling is still the same. Just win, damnit, so I can go to bed! I have a 7:45 meeting in the morning! Lol

[Aggies7]

12:30 here on the east coast. Could use a few more runs so I could go to bed

[MNT1996]

Polanco has had great at bats all night. Just one of those games where nothing falls for him.

Back in the day, I used to sit on my roof here in Tucson, trying to pull in a scratchy, in-and-out AM signal after dark from Dallas, or Lexington NE, or LA, just to get to listen to a few innings of my Twins.

I ordered one of them Russian Mail Order brides once. 

 

Her name was Igor and the beard made me suspect it wasn't a her. 

 

I didn't order a 2nd one.

Just be glad you didn't go with Amazon like I did. The manual wasn't in English, and even before we got the heels off her we knew there was a problem.

Is that like how they use lawn furniture to hold their parking spot in the winter? Or is that only here?

They do that in Chicago. It’s weird.

My very bestest and oldest friend, in Kearney NE, had an old radio, in his basement that had amazing "pull in" power. Spent a few nights in that basement having a beer listening where he would just look at me with a "WTF" look on his face. Sometimes, as a fanatic, you just do what you have to do! Lol
