So there are people named Siri! I want to use that name for our next dog so that I can call her at the dog park and open everyone's Apple phones!

Maybe in olden times it was too difficult to keep track of what happened in the early innings?  No computers and the rain would wipe the ink off the scorecards?  We should ask Chief.

Too be fair I believe they might have had papyrus by then, although I think it was expensive and hard to come by,  I think you would only use it for a play-off game.

I’m a bogey golfer and couldn’t break 90 today. The putter was not my friend. 

Once in a while every putter needs a good talking to. Occasionally even to be windmilled into the next fairway. They get uppity otherwise.

I threatened to bench mine.  But it knew that it was the only putter in my stable, so it had leverage on me.

I miss when these blowout losses at least included a funny guy to watch.

I went the game where La Tortuga first pitched because of a blowout loss. The section I was sitting in had a ton of youth soccer players from Mexico. They were having the time of their lives. Singing. Cheering. Made it on the Jumbotron. It was like sitting a section full of Dani Rojases (Ted Lasso fans, amIright?)

The best part was at the end of the game where the coaches pulled out giant garbage bags and had the kids clean up their area. It was the funnest, worst loss I'd been to.

What do we do with the basses loaded?

Depends on which Beethoven symphony is being performed and whether it's the fourth movement.  If it's the bottom of the Ninth...

We're gonna need Chief to offer a translation of this super-sekrit code language.

/edit - ninja'd by a few seconds

Astudillo's hair flowed like that when he simply walked to the water cooler.

Or the buffet table?

Rookie mistake.

Yaaaaaassssss a position player on the mound. Let's see if we can find something to get mad at Houston about.

"87.8 MPH four seam fastball"

Better than I expected.  The 67.8 MPH change up sets it up nicely, I am sure.

I believe "the list of things I can't do any more" is my bigger concern these days.
