This is an early bird game thread intro, largely by necessity as i have something from noon to 2 and typically am foodening or driving up until game time.
So today i promote the values of preparation. I am not entirely sure what they are, myself, so it is likely my means of doing so is by way of cautionary tale.
I can't even post the line ups, it is so early.
All i can say is Maeda and Bieber? Epic pitching match up. Hitters might not wish to fall behind. Swing early and often.
Enjoy!
Ps. Is it Duke of Earl, or Earl of Duke?
Yes:
Now keep those hits a-comin'!
