It would be really nice if Correa’s slump ended today.

[USAFChief]

I wonder...did Ober Uber over?

[Nine of twelve]

Nice little stretch of 5 wins in last 6 games, so keep that rolling. But don't keep the second half of yesterday's game rolling. That looked like stumbling more than rolling.

Dunno...

I mean, he could have been sent over in his red (Range) Rover.

Probably needs uberX, hard to imagine 6'9" in a Prius.

The stat lines seem to have largely normalized outside of Correa.

You'd think they'd do so under cover.

Nothing is Ober until we decide it is.

Somewhere Ober the rainbow…

[RickOShea]

Gosh, I hope he considers changing his last name.

[RickOShea]

So many think Ober is the answer, and I hope he is.  How many will hang with him if he stumbles?

He is just like the backup QB in football. Nothing negative in the memory bank so he must be great.

Like the song says, "somewhere ober the rainbow, bluebirds fly"...........

Ober has about a year's worth of starts and the numbers are pretty good. Certainly far better than what was expected of him when he was recalled in 2021.

I was just hoping to reduce the number of cornball puns and jokes.

What would be left without the cornballs? Mostly whining and chicken.

[stringer bell]

Cool weather and it might snow tomorrow. Maybe on their next homestand, the weather will unkink.

[stringer bell]

I hope Witt and Perez haven't woken up completely.
