Soto, 8 in a row

Michael Fulmer - 5 strikes, 8 balls, shutout inning

I agree. Any money that I've lost in the past couple of weeks, I didn't do anything to earn it in the first place.

Do you want gravy on those fries?

That third catcher makes it pretty tough to sit them out, which is what the facts on the ground really require.

Yes exactly it would have been forced, that's what I said. Don't call it "Civil war" then, I don't see the relevance, but call it "armed conflict to preserve slavery". Does it happen 26 years sooner?

Well...warmer perhaps 🙂 Something interesting happens in 1834...abolition of slavery. Does that touch off your civil war 26 years sooner?

Who was the first Tiger younger than you? Mine was Fred Holdsworth.

I used to like sitting in left field there, in the football seats out of the sun.

Egads I seem to have lost about 6.5% since last Wednesday. Oh well. Still surprisingly higher than this date a year ago.

I think it will, but by the time William gets there he will be king of England, perhaps Wales and Northern Ireland.

I think that they are more popular in the USA than they are in Canada or Australia. They can always draw a crowd in New York or Los Angeles. There is an argument to be made that they are beneficial for tourism in England, or at least the history of royalty is. But they are of no value anywhere else.

Guy Lafleur was born 5 months before I was.

I like Baddoo but he has had a lot of opportunities and Hill's glove could be worth something, with scoring being so low.

Just got some good news, Charles and Camilla are coming for a visit /sarcasm Is there a family more clueless on the entire planet than the English royal family? William and Katharine or whatever her name is are just back in England from a Caribbean tour that was in shockingly bad taste, during which they were plainly informed by Jamaica that the monarchy would be ending there shortly, following Barbados' recent move. The photo ops were right out of the 1960's, with the pale white visitors at one point standing behind a chain link fence with tiny brown hands extending through it. So based on that catastrophe they send out Charles and Camilla, to "strengthen the ties" I suppose, by a visit from two of the most universally mocked people on the planet. Polling in Canada has been pretty clear that the constitutional monarchy is going to end "when the Queen dies", stated just that simply. Knowing us though we will take years to get to a parliamentary republic with a non-executive head of state, while we fuddle through competing regional interests and indigenous grievances. While we are at it though we can get rid of the Senate, something else that has been talked about for decades. These are people who are political appointees with guaranteed jobs until age 75, and who accomplish the square root of SFA. Canada has 105 Senators and I can name exactly one.

Yeah I have lots of Ukrainian friends and they really do carry all that shit around with them.

An American broadcaster says Toe-ron-toe with very dry precise letter t's. Canadian is a bit musher, a bit more Irish, and it comes out closer to Cheronto. Same with Mawn-tree-all versus Munch-ree-all.

Perfect

Michael Fulmer gets another clean inning

I don't like Blackmon, he looks like he hasn't showered in a while.

Hey speaking of per diem, how much did Angel DaJeezus get paid for 3 days in the majors? Was it the minimum, times 3/365?

I just watched the highlights...man, Skubal looks good. He is so long, and I am no scout but that delivery lòoks so repeatable, he doesn't have to muscle up to throw 96 or 97, it just flows, and they had no chance against him. If your dad had seen him in 1972 he would have said "this kid looks like a 20 game winner", he really does, that is what they used to look like. He looks like Steve Carlton. Al Avila stole this guy in broad daylight.

Not bad, maybe switch Haase and Schoop. Really need Baddoo to start boogeyin' again.

Thanks

Same here, his greatest season was ruined.
