Instead of doing some chores with the game on?

Although, I used to have a trasistor radio for listening to the game while doing stuff, including when I landscaped full time,  I do not do that very often now; I would rather sit , drink strong coffee, and eat a cheese sandwich while watching, or listening, to the game.

Good question. Anderson isn't playing. Just assumed if you get In a fight you're done for a bit...but we all know about assuming!

@USAFChiefNo suspension announced yet. Anderson didn't play because he's likely concussed.

Don't know about concussed. But definitely embarrassed 😳

Usually Colby or Cheddar; some times my cousin and I would take a road trip to Wisc. and visit cheese factories for fresh cheese.

Then I might have large chunk and just slice it off and eat it slice by slcie.

[rwilfong86]

Keuchel with a walk then a DP. Nice start.

Tequila and Mezcal, although I do drink Irish coffee at times.

On purpose?  Ish...why?

DP4! I knew it was gonna be a K or a DP. Aggravating.

I think Correa is trying to catch Gallos K number. He's only 100 behind

C.C.  Some things never change,  another d.p.

The number of beautiful MN days and nights spent indoors far outweighs the occasional rain out saved.

Unless you drove the distance from International Falls to Mpls, only to have a rain drizzle cancel a game.

I think Correa is trying to catch Gallos K number. He's only 100 behind. Btw. Major League record is by Jim Rice with 36. So he still has a ways to go.

Way back when visited bars many days a week, every week, I found the Mexican stuff more to my liking.

I always have bottle of whiskey around as very strong coffee, with some heavy cream and a generous shot of whiskey, warms the soul.

Been there, done that actually.  

I've also driven to StL only to be rained out.

Desert weather is weird.  You can not have rain for months, then boom, the monsoon season arrives.  The hardest and most rain I've ever seen in just a few minutes of time.

No thanks.  I'm not the one complaining about the rain.

21 now. France going to have to go hard (or not) to keep pace

[rwilfong86]

Julien playing defense is so painful to watch

[stringer bell]

Julien did all he could on the slow roller. Castro's feed was a little low on the possible 5-4-3. I'm not blaming him for lost outs so far.
