I got through about half the game. Did better than I thought considering my two least favorite teams were playing. I thought the setting was just okay. Looked a bit like they were playing at Cracker Barrel Restaurant Field. The whole "is this heaven"? thing got a bit tiresome after the umpteenth time it was used. Again, it was a good mid-summer diversion but I'd be fine if they thought up something else for the years to come.

I am curious as to how many have given the finger to greedy cable/streaming providers and are viewing the games through other "underground" channels? I may know at least a few who do. Maybe.

High Speed Chase!

Jim Kaat is a national treasure. We're so lucky to still be able to listen to him call a game.

Bub's was made in Winona (later by Walters Brewing in Eau Claire). It wasn't horrible.

A "skinny, injury prone body"?! The man is obviously in top physical condition. And as for "dumb" choices, the man plays his ass off.

I'm glad I took advantage of the MiLBTV $29.00 subscription deal when it was offered. I'll spent the rest of the season watching the Saints/Wind Surge/Kernels and hoping for the future.

Fortunately I am now fully vaccinated.

Its fine in Spring Training when the games don't count. If integrated into the regular season, I'm afraid it would quickly become as boring and tedious as post game interviews. Let the boys concentrate on the game at hand. Entertain us with the play on the field.

I'm hoping they use Kaat as much as he is willing to do. He is a treasure.

My wish list: Castro: Yes (as a low cost backup) Cron: Yes Schoop: No Gibson: No Big Mike: Yes Odorizzi: Yes Perez: No Romo: Yes

Step 1 to a successful off-season.

Solo home runs aren't going to beat you. Or so I've heard when the Twins hit them.

Unless there is a major setback with his health issues, I have no doubt Gibby is on the post-season roster. Most likely as an "opener" in a bullpen game or middle innings relief.
