Honestly, I don't recall a whole of that.

Its kind of an impossible situation to interview Willie Horton and broadcast a game at the same time. Everybody loves Willie. When he speaks, you want to give him his space and not step on his words. Rightfully so, he's a legend, he has some yarns to spin. But its tough to weave that in with calling a game. For what its worth, Horton really seems to love what he sees in Colt Keith.

I remember the defensive reputation he had. Maybe coupling that with a young rotation was part of the overblown good vibes that were being broadcast.

Looking forward to watching the broadcast after work. It should be helpful that it will be unseasonably warm today, mid 70s and sunny.

This one was on the starters. All 5 were at -19 or worse. Somehow they were out scored by only 9 in the 3rd? That sure seems like a typo. It felt like they were outscored by 20.

Was Barnhart ever good enough to be considered a bust? I think the theory was a lefty/righty pairing at catcher, but I don’t think the physicality of the catching duties lends to a straight platoon operating there. But looking at his career heading into that season, should there really have been any optimism behind his signing?

St. Casimir’s Day is tomorrow. He drove the snakes out of Poland. Enjoy your red beer.

I successfully resisted the urge to purchase that sweatshirt. Actually, it wasn’t that difficult at all.

I believe I saw a small moose along our travels. The woman to whom I’m related by marriage was driving and of course the kids had their faces attached to their phones. By the time we turned the family truckster around, the quad legger had vanished. It appeared larger than a deer, but I don’t think it would have been large enough to be an adult moose. 0 for puffins. 0 for black bears. Did see some harbor seals, so that was nice. The trip was originally Boston only, But the two adults had always wanted to go to Maine. We were in the neighborhood, so that itinerary was added. Unfortunately weather wasn’t always kind to us once we got to our landing spots. But, hey, it was better than being at work, so huzzah.

You don’t get a picture today. Pictures are for winners.

We had a puffin viewing trip booked whilst in Bar Harbor. Alas, ‘‘twas too foggy, and so it was cancelled.

It just keeps getting better and better. Not for nothing, but the family vacation took us to Maine & Boston last year. We got to see Cadillac Mountain in the Bar Harbor area. Why is this significant? Because it’s the first piece of American property that sees sunrise every day (weather permitting). Don’t believe me? Well, I don’t blame you. But you can google that factoid for yourself or just wait for it on Jeopardy.

Is there a toro beyond the outfield wall that a hitter can try to smash with a home run ball for some carne asada?

My mind’s ear always hears an expletive in between Donny and Sands.

“Damnit, I thought I was coming to a Red Wings game?!”

I missed which contender picked up Hayes for bench depth.

Is this surprising? The Pistons suck. Not sure if you’re new here or not.

You try toting the BK medallion around with a normal neck.

You know, if you take out the 28 game losing streak......, this team still sucks.

5’9”? Under the radar move? Does he do all of the little things well?

Really? I didn't realize international cap space was part of the equation as well.

That's true as well. Its a matter of which theory one wants to subscribe to.

Tres bien.

He’s removed the targets from his cleats.

He’s kind of slow for an athlete, isn’t he?
