Chesapeake Bay Crabs

Sweater than Carolina's

Fresher salt water...

 

What if we had crabs?

they'd make Minnesota proud!

Just like our Lutefisk.

 

Likewise Baseball Teams

play like they're under water

will come up for breath

 

Thanks for noticing

Today's game thread consists of

Uninspired Haiku

 

Or inspired Haiku

written by and for the folk

too lazy to count.

How many poets

Does it take to change light-bulbs?

Just one, but it takes 2 days, because first they have to compose 100 couplets reflecting on the deeper meaning of light and dark.

It takes no poets

To change the goddamn light bulbs

And here's the reason

 

The sun is used to

Write by day, and candlelight works

For writing at night

"What if we had crabs?"

I'd recommend a physician...

The big man playing 3B, it's been awhile

Sano actually just started at 3B on Sunday.

I thought he played there last week, but I could be wrong.  That was the first time since like 2019, IIRC.

[MMMordabito]

Strike 'em out/Throw 'em out .... Good start!

[wsnydes]

Mancini continues to rake.

[MMMordabito]

Pineda has got to lead the league in solo homers surrendered.

Good call, he played 3rd in the 8-5 win against Cleveland....I apparently didn't pay that much attention.

[wabene]

Nice, Simmons catches that throw on the runner's back. Smooth

[Vanimal46]

Gotta lose today and tomorrow to match the 2019 Washington Nationals record. It’s the only way to win a World Series in the 3 true outcomes era. 

[wsnydes]

Buxton would have caught th...oh, so did Refsnyder...

[SwainZag]

My finger was hovering above the "stop" button on my MLB audio feed before that Ref-ie came down with that one.  

[wsnydes]

I liked that top half better.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's impossible for Astudillo to do anything normally, isn't it?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Meh, that was a real waste of a double.

[denarded]

What happened to Larnach?

[mnfireman]

I am not a big fan of the contact play.

What do you mean, the play at home?

He was thrown out at home on a squibber to third base, if that's what you're asking.

[RickOShea]

If Hawkins keeps saying "Jesus" during his broadcasts, I don't think he'll have a future in the booth.  He's now 2 for 2 during the last 2 games.  It's not a big deal to me, but to those in this PC world, it's a big deal.

[wsnydes]

Gotta love those innings that start with two straight walks...

That's what i was asking. My feed froze and Austudillo was on first with no run scored

Of course!  Why wouldn't you?
