He couldn’t if he tried …

Arraez caught stealing.

Bummer. I guess that's why they call it the blues. 

[h2oface]

Our running came makes every catcher look like the best arm in the league.

Update: as you get older, scoring gets a little slower.

I second that thought!

deGrom on the mound at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. That will be my concert.

I wish we had 5 of Duran.

I think they just sent him out to pick up snacks. 

In Duluth.

Squirrel, See what you started with Elton. Lot of Laughs  T.Y.

[RickOShea]

2 guys who I hope don't pitch in tonight's close game. Pagan and Jax.

I would pick a more suitable place, like Frostbite Falls.

Looks like we’ll see Jax in the eighth.

You have to thank h2oface ... he actually started it

But I love Elton ... so many songs! He was a prodigy

OOPS , 

[Squirrel]

Time to tack on more runs!

Yes, but you have to get up those hills in the middle of winter to get them.

[IndianaTwin]

When I heard the name Kaleb Ort, I wondered if he's Dutch. And then Provus said he's from Grand Rapids, Mich., which increases the likelihood of that. He didn't pitch at either of the small colleges where a lot of Dutch kids in that area go (Calvin or Hope), but he did pitch at Aquinas, an NAIA school. He was undrafted and is an independent league alum.

[Danchat]

Are we at the 3:00 hour mark? If so, how and why is this game going so slow?

I saw Elton twice in St. Paul. Halloween (1974?) with young Elton and in the Face-to-Face tour with Billy Joel (much more mature Elton) in about 2006.

And I hear it's uphill both ways.

I would just stand at the base of the hills and let them roll down to me.

Then you've clearly been there in winter.

A friend of mine sold his truck to his neighbor's daughter.  It was her first vehicle, and of course it had a manual transmission..

I guess she was so frazzled trying to drive in Duluth, she parked it and took a cab home.  My friend realizing how upset she was, bought it back from her.
