That is nothing to sneeze at.

Sonny 6th inning time

Gladden picked up the same issue re: WSOX which was raised here yesterday: Where are there minor league players??

[Dave Borton]

12 quarts of tomatoes simmering into sauce with peppers, garlic and onions (all from the garden except for onions).

Sourdough bread resting before the first stretches (no, wheat isn't mine. Dakota). Grateful to farmers.

Eating tall this week.

[Parfigliano]

More of this 6th inning Sonny.

Game 1 playoff starter should be Jeffers.

As well as games 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Ideally the playoffs should be a Vasquez free zone.  It won't happen.

That's why their rebuild failed. They had some elite talent and absolutely nothing behind it for depth.

I’d go with López or Gray.

The "other sport", but outside chance that every other team in the NFC North loses today, covering the Vikings loss on Thursday night.

ATL fieldgoal to lead Packers 25-24 with 45 seconds left

[Parfigliano]

Packers lose!

Yikes, seeing this in person, I’m thinking Kirilloff is a budding Keith Hernandez on how far off the bag he plays. 

[Sutter50]

Good job Jax

[stringer bell]

No need to push Gray for the eighth, and a nice inning for Jax.

Produces D like Hernandez its all good

Twins at 94 pitches through eight. Still a small chance of the team Maddux. 

[USAFChief]

Make it look easy, Willi.

Spectacular diving catch.

Have a Whataburger coupon for BOGO shake.  Gonna try them out.

Redeeming note on the Cleveland win is that we get to enjoy Oliva photos for an entire day on the Magic Number thread, rather than moving immediately to Tim Teufel pictures.

For #5 I'd lean towards Zolio Versalles or Cuddyer pics.

Hoping Toronto takes care of Yankees.  NYYs are 6.5 games out of the last WC.  Texas and Seatle have 7 games left against each other.
