Ugh. 50s? Sigh.

Wtf was that?

Ugh. Pull it together!

Come on, Gibson!

Miracle game now 3-1

Sigh. So close yet so far.

Okay, let's walk in the first run.

Um, I take that back ... Nunez needs lessons from Punto if he's going to try that stuff

I'm liking this running stuff

Hey, tuba ... are you a professional tubist?

No, unfortunately. And here's the link to that game: http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?sid=t509

Game-time forecast: Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to center field at 10-15 m.p.h. Temperature around 80. ANGELS: SP, Santiago Calhoun RF Trout CF Pujols DH Hamilton LF Kendrick 2B Aybar SS Freese 3B Navarro 1B Conger C TWINS: SP, Gibson Santana CF Dozier 2B Mauer 1B Vargas DH Plouffe 3B Suzuki C Nunez SS Hicks RF Schafer LF ----------------------- Okay, Brian ... I can feel you thinking all the way down in Florida. I know this will be good! ---------------------- Well... Now I got ask the question... How do I feel? Things to Think About: 1. Pressed for time -- It's probably good news but I have to make this short and sweet because work demands isn't allowing a full thinking. I've save my deep thoughts about the Angels for Tomorrow. 2. Light Thoughts about the Angels -- For Years we have been wondering when things would work out for the high spending Angels. They made big free agent splashes every year and failed to make the playoffs... They were poster boys for why free agency doesn't always work. Well... This year... It's seems to be working... They are currently in 1st place in the AL West... And if memory serves... I believe this is the first year in awhile when they didn't make a large Free Agent Splash. I'm not making a case for anything... I'm just saying to possible that the baseball gods don't like big money free agent pursuits and they were just waiting for the Angels to calm down. 3. Hector Santiago -- I'd actually like to do a whole thing on this guy but I don't have time. He's really working out for the Angels right now. Acquired in a trade with the White Sox... he started the season luke warm but has taken control of things of late. He has been lights out and may be one of the top pitchers in baseball right now. 4. Kyle Gibson -- Our offense has been great lately... It's our pitching that is dragging us down... With that said... Kyle Gibson is not one of the pitchers dragging us down... He faces a tough Angel offense with a talented Santiago on the mound. Kyle will have to be solid. 5. Wagging Tails -- I was watching a dog wag his tail and when a dog wags his tail it supposed to mean that he's happy. When a Cat wags his tail it means it is pissed off. When my wife wags her tail... I have no idea what it means anymore.

You know, these central time zone games are just too late for me.

Yay!

Her step son showed her pictures of the White Sox pitchers at the time and she identified him from a photo array.

I have a John Danks story. Actually, is more a story about my neighbor. She sat next to him on a plane on a trip a year or two ago. She found out everything about him ... and his fiancée ... that he was a pitcher for the White Sox, what his plans are after baseball, what his fiancee's name was and what she did, where/when they were getting married and so on and so forth. So when I asked her who it was she said she didn't know because she didn't want to be too nosy and ask him his name. She finds out EVERYTHING but, but asking him his name was too nosy. But he seemed like a very nice guy from what she said.

Final 6-2. Zack Jones gave up a run in the 9th but got the final out with a strike out.

The Miracle are headed to the FSL Championship series!

Home from the game. It's not over, but it was enough for my dad. Was good what I saw. Listening to the last little bit on the radio. Zack Jones finishing it up.

After 3, the Miracle are up 6-1. Highlighted by a Harrison mash off the monster and a Hicks HR

Warming up

My vantage for tonight's Miracle game. Weather cooperating so far but have rain gear just in case.

I'll be at the Miracle game this evening. Hope we don't have a rain delay. With parents in tow we will likely not stay for the whole thing anyway.

It was way late. I do not like Ullger over there.

You forgot to put 'Well, Dick ...' in front of that.
