I like a speedy hitter batting 9th. Castro hits a bunt single. Castro steals 2B. Next pitch, Solano hits the ball behind the runner to RF and speedy Castro runs through a stop sign from 3B coach and scores. Sounds like a plan. 

I'll do a quick lucid dreaming session and see that in my head.

I think I accidentally sabotaged your comment by trying for a quick edit to insert the same point of view at about the same time.

We don't need no... education.

We may have hit some sort of satirical vortex that we'll never get out of.

That's funny. You are good at this.

Well.. Whatever this is. 

It's never been defined.

I almost feel like his performance tonight is my responsibility. 

Because it is!

Is Squirt Bottle Boyd, any relation to Oil Can Boyd?

TC lineup with only 1 guy sub .700 OPS.

I saw Oil pitch against Twins at TX years ago.

I remember his best years with the Bosox.

No, I think you're thinking of Skee-Lo.

Is that anything like skee-ball?

Are we a better team with Buck at DH? (vs. Julian or positional flexibility).... I think that this will become an increasingly relevant (and uncomfortable) question as the season progresses.

I know this comment will have a lot of blow back.... but I'm not trying to troll.

For those who think this is an easy 'yes'... let's revisit in a couple months. 

Your thoughts are legit. 

Well... that thought was legit. 

Those other thoughts of yours... 

Yikes. 

Calling bean bags "Boneless Sofa's" 

That was crazy.

You need to make harder contact.

Oil needed changing when I saw him.

Very similar.  But very different.

I'm calling him right now. If you see him answer his cell phone out in RF... It's me that he is talking to.

TAKE NOTE OF THE EARLY START TIME.

6:10 PM CDT to accommodate the T-Pain concert following the game.

WHAT?? Sara Palin is going to try singing now?

[RickOShea]

Before I forget, Happy Father's Day to all those dads out there, especially Al Pacino.  "Say hello to my little friend".

As soon as I turn the game on, Gray allows a walk and two singles.

Foul tip strike 3 caught and were in commercial 0-0

So, turn your tv off and read a book.  We'll let you know the final score.

That makes you guiltier than I with the Kirilloff mess I've created.

I was just thinking about Father's Day. If my kids get me socks. Not only do I get the gift of socks but I also get the gift of not having to go to the store and buy socks.

Why do we have such a difficult time scoring the first runs in a game?  Seems like it's more the exception than the rule.
