With all the avatars of people's pet dogs, I figured I should put up a photo of mine.

hmm ... and you know the saying about pets and owners looking alike?

IdahoPilgrim · June 15, 2013

I thought the game was tonight?

stringer bell · June 15, 2013

I thought the game was tonight?

Me too! Of course, that might get me banned if I pointed out a mistake by Rocketpig.

Brock Beauchamp · June 15, 2013

Heh, I had my phone on Sunday's game. I thought it seemed a little odd that the game was so early.

ashbury · June 15, 2013

hmm ... and you know the saying about pets and owners looking alike?

Not true in this case. He's the pick of the litter.

boylan · June 15, 2013

Clete Thomas is leading off. Tonight's line up almost looks better if you read it bottom up.

Hmmm? Nailed it last night. The Clete Thomas renaissance is officially full-blown.

Drink every time Bert says arcEEa instead of ARcia.

Quite an imposing set of numbers.

What happened to Florimon's numbers? I know they are diminishing, but have they totally disappeared. Aside: All it took was Dickbert to comment that Florimon's numbers had consistently stayed between .240 & .260 for him to exceed .260 for a day and now slide to their current level. .228 BA with a .635 OPS.

stringer bell · June 15, 2013

Another thought: Justin Morneau has the fifth best slugging percentage of today's starting lineup. He has a higher SLG% than Parmelee, Thomas, Dozier, and Florimon (aka Murder's Row).

raindog · June 15, 2013

Clete Thomas is batting leadoff.

Let that sink in.

ashbury · June 15, 2013

Clete Thomas is batting leadoff.

Clete Thomas is batting leadoff.

Let that sink in.

Clete Thomas's given first name is Michael. Some folk won't go by a middle name of "Clete", but then again, some folk'll. Let that sink in.

Riverbrian · June 15, 2013

da-doo-no

Riverbrian · June 15, 2013

Strike one... Here we go

ashbury · June 15, 2013

And Clete still doesn't have a hit in this game. Bad choice of a leadoff hitter.

Riverbrian · June 15, 2013

Yeah man... Clete has been up all day... He shoulda had by noon at least.

Riverbrian · June 15, 2013

Around the league... Ben Revere 3-3 today... 12 for 20 now since he visited Minnesota.

ashbury · June 15, 2013

No-Drama Deduno in the first. Can't possibly remain that way, can it?

Riverbrian · June 15, 2013

Thomas read what rain dog and Ashbury said and came up with a rebuttal.

ashbury · June 15, 2013

Yeah man... Clete has been up all day... He shoulda had by noon at least.

There, finally. Broke the drought.

Riverbrian · June 15, 2013

I hope not.. More fun with a little drama.

ashbury · June 15, 2013

Well, at least we got the no-hit monkey off our backs right away. Baby steps.

ashbury · June 15, 2013

So, RB, you weren't here yesterday - what is the weirdest medical procedure you, or a close relative, has had done?

ashbury · June 15, 2013

I hope not.. More fun with a little drama.

3-0 on Fielder enough drama to suit?

Squirrel · June 15, 2013

okay ... seriously ... 'Based your current location, you are blacked out from watching this game.' MLB.TV sucks. Never again. I'm in frikken Chicago.

It's a national broadcast. MLB TV blacks those out.

A national broadcast not being broadcast in my area.

Squirrel · June 15, 2013

oh well ... guess I'll watch the Blackhawks game then. Don't have to choose between them.
