Oh for meow's sake..... OK, how about this given the weather scenario. Bring a closer in now?

Jinxed him. My bad.

Pipe down, don't give them any ideas.

McWinstry!

A little late on the April Fool's Day revelry.

There's that real possibility, too.

Greene's SB is one thing. Keith pressing for 2B after the earlier Cardinal defensive issues, I'm alright with it.

I would think that if his defense plays, he locks up 3B for this season. I expect the bat to play. McGonigle can handle SS for now.

He might not get through 5 today.

I think the premise of a sound effect is good. Sometimes I am multitasking with the game on TV. So the sound effect alerts me to the nugget of trivia that they are putting on display.

I like those little factoids that they are referring to as the "hot corner".

Why are you ahead of me when I am closer to Detroit? You got extra antenna pull in them tube socks?

I'll allow it.

Ouch. Them some sweet cleats he's got, but they obviously are not steel toes.

Those St. Louis blues look right. They look good on the teams that I remember them being used for. St. Louis, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Toronto. And the home creams for San Francisco. That slaps with the orange and black motif. Sorry, just trying to distract you all from the early melt down inning.

If that mitt could tell stories…..

The bike trail was flooded around the swamp, easily as flooded as I’ve ever seen it. Had to backtrack a bit and then use the road for about 1/2 mile going out and then 1/2 mile coming back in. The river is too deep and fast for the walleye run right now, so road traffic was light. I bike along the outside of the lane of oncoming traffic so I can see when to peel off the road.

The regular season might be too long. I won't take part in that debate because of the timing of seasons vis a vis with baseball and me being a baseball fan over all other sports. But I want to see how the players and player's association, and probably some owners, tries to apply the concept of shrinkflation to the regular season. Because we all know damn well nobody wants to give up any part of revenue even if they reduce the regular season by a dozen or whatever games. How is that going to go over with broadcasting and advertising and all of that revenue?

His tube socks are above his knees.

Ramon Urias was using a purple glove in yesterday's game. I mentioned in the game thread that I don't recall ever seeing that shade of fielding mitt.

I'm not sure this cast of characters should be offering emotional support.

I hope so. The problem with Flaherty is he can go from good to bad from inning to inning. He just seems to have that one inning that completely unravels and that's that. I may be wrong, but it seems like that was the difference between 2024 and 2025. In 2024, he might allow two runners on, but he'd limit the scoring to one run. In 2025, two runners on would lead to an elongated inning where both or more would score.

The Wemby Rules?

Bert playing hurt when it mattered most.
