    One thing not mentioned about 2006 is the pitching was top notch. That year's Cy Young winner was our second best starter for much of the season and the bullpen was a brick wall (Juan Rincon's juicing admittedly probably being part of that). This year's pitching has been satisfactory for the most part but not like 2006.

    I doubt it would make much difference. Consistently batting well in the major leagues requires a skill that can't be learned unless you have that innate skill, and very few people do.

    Strib has a note that says expected start time is 5:10 CDT.

    In order to be certain that all PED use will be caught every player would need to be tested pretty much on a year-round weekly basis. That will not happen. So unannounced random testing is pretty much the only way to keep PED use under control, but with some constraints as follows: 1.) Every player under contract to a major league team will submit to testing. 2.) Every player will be tested at least a certain number of times per year, with the number of times to be determined, and the testing will be done year round. 3.) No player will go more than a certain amount of time without being tested, with the amount of time to be determined. 4.) There will be no maximum number of times a player can be tested. 5.) The testing will be done by a group affiliated neither with MLB nor with the players' union. 6.) The method of scheduling who will be tested and when will be approved by all parties involved including an independent medical adviser, however the schedule itself will not be known by anyone other than the group administering the tests. 7.) If blood testing is more reliable than urinalysis then that should be adopted as the standard. I know some of these points are already in place but as many have mentioned there are loopholes and other weaknesses in the current program that I think can be addressed.

    1:10 PM CDT? Nope. Wouldn't surprise me if the rain delay is 3 hours or more.

    Looking at Escobar next to Sano makes me want to find a magnifying button

    The view from my seat.

    Congratulations. And I like the name. Will it be Ed, Edward, Eddie, or Eduardo? There's also another option: there's a player in the HOF named Edd Roush. Edd with two d's.

    That may be true. Or it may not be, I honestly don't know. The parameter to consider when determining the frequency of testing is the length of time it takes the PED to clear from one's system. If a detectable level of the drug is present for 3 months after using then testing every 2-3 months is enough. If there's a drug that can be detected only during the week following use then weekly testing is needed.

    I didn't notice that before. If the coach is not sure until the last minute whether he'll send the runner he should be wheeling the runner and then stopping him at the last minute, not the other way around.

    Nice! I'll be in Section 3 this Friday vs LAA. Don't want to pay for those seats more than once a season but it's wonderful place from which to watch a game.

    Now let's continue rolling this streak against the tighty whities!

    Top of the order. It's time.
  15. Nine of twelve
    ****, really? I didn't know that.

    Sometimes you have to pick up your teammates when there's a misplay. That also applies when a coach is the teammate in question.

    What was that? Put Glynn on the DL with concussion-like symptoms.
  18. Nine of twelve
    Get this guy around. Even if you have to bunt to do it.
  19. Nine of twelve
    Loved that band!
  20. Nine of twelve
    Bleep.

    Reminds me of something an intoxicated man said to me once: You can't drink all day if you don't start first thing in the morning.

    And don't forget his first-inning dinger today was on a low outside pitch. We used to worry about his plate discipline, but now I'm thinking let him swing at any pitch he thinks he can hit.
  23. Nine of twelve
    No reason to stop now. Time for a three-peat.

    New game! Bring on their bullpen!

    Good recovery by Rogers with a big assist by Wilson.
