Just... just... Lewis. Then Larnach. For God's sake, you guys are supposed to be major leaguers.

Nothin' like that prodigious warning-track power. Craig Kusick, where have you gone?

Sheesh, Castro. Good thing he didn't get Correa clobbered for no reason.

Jeepers, he smoked that one, clean out of that minor-league park.

I watched a youtube doc on Hawk Harrelson the other day. My favorite moments were when the Twinkies would do something to the Sox like Aranda just did, and he'd get so p*ssed off, he'd just go silent for a moment. Wouldn't even announce a homer had been hit. Then, maybe a little, resigned, "Welp..." My sentiments at that moment. Welp.

Geez Louise, tough play, but Royce you gotta be on that.

Having a tough time with old friend "Cy" Littell, and his vintage Radke-esque arsenal.

Truly. This game has potential to go 11 or 12 innings.... Which would mean many more opportunites to hear that godforsaken "Mlb Green" effing song, and that nails-on-chalkboard "Oppo-taco" meme. Mlb hates their fans.

Seriously? Brock hasn't pitched in 5 days, throws to 1 guy and now we burn another pitcher? (Who promptly walks the leadoff guy!) Another Rocco WTF moment...

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate the thought very much. Any one of us, at any time, just needs to know we're not alone out there. This little place on the web is a special one. ⚾❤️

I haven't been around the site too much lately, even in the midst of all the good results. To cut to the point, I lost a friend, who lost his battle with depression, and ended his life. He was one of my rugby mates, a Kiwi. Gregarious, charming, the sharpest of wits. He used to write up match reports that would induce a coffee spit take the following Monday morning. But inner struggles never left him. He had a wife and 2 young kids. They moved back to New Zealand a couple of years ago, and we would hear of incidents- cops, medical personnel, and such. He quit drinking. Came back to HK for a visit last year, repping a non-alcohol beer, and seemed his usual boisterous, endearing self. Then came the news last week, and all the regret and sorrow. Broken family left behind, broken mates. This site is not only a gathering place for us long-suffering fans, but it's often a refuge from the turmoils of the world, both public and personal. The preponderance of us are men, and being Upper Midwest as our roots are, many steeped in stoic Scandinavian stock. We're not used to expressing much- well, beyond disappointment in our heroes on the ballfield. This is an appeal, I guess. Please, do keep an eye on your quiet friends. And if you happen to be one of those quiet friends, please don't be shy about reaching out, in any way that's comfortable. There isn't a right or wrong way, there isn't a perfect thing to say. Chat about fishing, the Twins, or just ask how ya doin'. Making a connection, letting someone know you're there, and so are they- any way to feel a little less alone. My heart is in pieces, and tears have been flowing for days on end, at the slightest impulse. Perhaps even the simplest of connections, at the most random of times can make a difference to someone who's battling in silence. My friend "Broomie" - Kowloon Rugby Football Club WWW.FACEBOOK.COM It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Alex “Broomie” Broome. A Loonie legend through and through. His funeral is this Thursday 15th May and will be live streamed:...

Heh... Chourio 4 Ks! I seem to remember Dan Gladden destroying a sombrero (?) the Twinks used to make a guy wear.... 👒

Wow, 7 pitch inning, with an already high pitch count! Guess what, Brewers, you just bought yourselves another cuppa Joe! Maybe 2! 😅

Been short on time lately - just opened a show in addition to the schoolmaster gig. But got a chance to check in here and there-- Jim Palmer, after Ty France had waved a pitch juuuuuust a bit outside: "That one was in Belgium." 😂 And omg, the O's broadcast was still running, and Charlie Morton had stepped up to the mike. What an incredibly honest, heartfelt, painful soliloquy from an aging ballplayer still feeling like he has the tools and the heart, but pouring open his soul trying to figure out why it's all gone wrong. I stopped in my tracks and just watched. It was Charlie Morton's Lear unfolding. Just, wow.

It's 1030 AM over here, and I'm between classes with my middle schoolers. I've been drunk and riled up since 8. 🍸

Couldn't we just do the automatic out thing when Vazquez is up? You know, like the automatic intentional walk? Oh, wait, I suppose there's always the DP possibility...🙄

Zowie! A little busy in Boracay at present, with all the island hopping and parasailing stuff, but looks like the boys are doing well- I hope they can hold this lead! On a side note, at breakfast just now, wolves-Lakers on the tv. "Wolves Back?" What marketing genius got paid to come up with that quizzical slogan?

Like a lot of us older fellas, I suffered through the early 80s, 82 especially. But even through that, you could see it coming, Hrbek, Gaetti, et. al. The young guys were showing something, then came that 84 run. I don't get that same feeling looking at the Sox.

Wow, did they allow all the fans to come sit behind home plate? Or did they save those cutouts from back in the COVID daze?

Would be nice to see him lead off every inning. One out at a time.

Walking the leadoff guy. Unforgivable. Make him run laps.

Good thing Larnach hit it out, that way Carlos can only make 1 out at a time.

Probably has pineapple on it. 😝

Sweeping the White Sox, or even winning the series is in no way a given.

It looks like this team didn't get the memo again-- they were supposed to find a NEW, creative way to lose, not repeat the same one as the day before!! You know, score early runs, FAIL MISERABLY to add on, then have a late inning pitching meltdown, and whimper into the darkness... Cripe, whose turn is it to Eff up tomorrow?
