Well, on the positive side in that AB Riley didn’t strike out and he swung at the first pitch because it was in the strike zone and something he could’ve pulled, unfortunately he grounded out but I’m saying this because I’m a glass half full guy and hopeful.

The Nick Offerman episode is based on a tiny fragment inferred from a note as I recall from when I watched my son play the game years ago, and that episode expanded upon it. They fleshed it out brilliantly. The use of the Linda Ronstadt song gives me chills, and it’s kind of personal. I spent my early 20s to mid 30s in Tucson and Linda had grown up there with her family owning the major hardware store downtown and everybody in the city was in love with her. We all have memories of attending things like wakes for friends that had passed and her recorded music was played at them and it was usually particular relevant to the friend that had walked out of life, often tragically, far too soon. When you go to a wake for a friend and you’re in your 20s your friend died in their 20s and it’s a really sad thing. Really bittersweet memories. Everyone who lived in Tucson back then has a special Linda Ronstadt memory. She was America’s sweetheart.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that Hanifee took the Tigers out of the game. They were being no hit. They scored no runs. He wasn’t great, but he didn’t lose the game for them. I can see sending him down, but not because he “took them out of the game.”

You used to have to go to a member of the Corleone crew to place a bet but it’s a lot easier now. The Corleone family has gone legit.

Maybe the guys had too much beer and cheese. It is Milwaukee after all. Before the game began I was watching the 1950 noir classic Sunset Boulevard so maybe I’ll pick up where I left off. It won three Oscars. Probably better than what’s going on in Milwaukee.

The fifth episode is so fast paced I almost got dizzy.

I took 33 minutes out to watch the newest episode of The Studio on Apple TV and all I missed is that we’re not being no hit anymore. I was just hoping for more.

The Brewers pitcher may be a household name for other people, but to me he’s no name and he’s no hitting us, which is not pleasant.

I haven’t watched local commercial television in years, so I’m not exposed to ads there. I don’t listen to commercial radio. Athough I see billboards where I live they’re not all personal injury billboards although they’re there. It’s just their ubiquity on these baseball broadcasts that’s like being slapped in the face by a rotten fish.

I have a feeling this is going to be “one of those games.“ It’s early in the game, but so far our at bats are lackluster and their’s are not.

1-25.

Riley 1-24 as of late.

So is half of everybody in the Detroit area getting in an accident and suing people or is this just the ads on the radio?

This somehow sounds familiar.

Did that stop happening because the Yankees became less monolithically dominant? Or because AL teams couldn’t keep up financially.

Thx

How has this NL dominance come about?

Those standings are a thing of beauty. It’s just amazing that after that disappointing three game skid we’ve gone 10–3. The only teams in baseball that have outscored us are the Yankees, the Cubs, AZ, and the Giants. And the Rays destroyed the Red Sox in Tampa tonight 16–1 and Bregman went 0–4.

No it was more like this $109 eBay special only not tapered. The gold one. Maybe 4” tall. It’s a treasured memory. I asked for more and mom said if I did I couldn’t go outside to play with beer on my breath. I had another.

The one-two punch.

This is the first beer I ever drank. Out of a can exactly like this and probably in 1959. I was watching a baseball game with my dad and I was given a half of a little metal orange juice tumbler of Strohs. And it tasted really good. The funny thing is is that I’ve never been a drinker. So I was not corrupted by this.

It’s Maeda Time!

Quick inning for Kenta.
