My weather app says it’s hardly rained in KC and little rain is expected but who knows. They wouldn’t cancel it for the heck of it.

Is the whole ream on the DL? Jeez.

I stop paying attention for a couple games and the house burns down?

A lead!

Jim Price was only 22 when I saw the 5th game of the ‘68 World Series with my dad when I was 16. I thought he had to be older than that.

Got my 4th COVID shot today. Needed to do “my own research” on Moderna over Pfizer because the clinic said it was “my choice.” Hope I don’t go blind like Ned Flanders did after LASIK surgery. You never know.

Baez is making me happy.

It’s interesting how in old pictures of baseball games people wore suits and nice hats like they were going to church or something. Maybe that’s the close-up box seats though.

I like your attitude. Every game is a one-game winner take all playoff with the devil, especially when you’re playing the White Sox.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the 1920s pro-White Sox street urchins defaced Navin Field with graffiti and taunted Ty Cobb. White Sox fans have been bad for a long time.

They’re just doing this for the sake of another dramatic walk off.

Garcia was stupefied by how slow Cabrera was running and lost track of where he was.

I have seen the future and it works.

Walk off without walking off

8-pitch homer by Haase ties it

Jim sounds really crisp and ebullient.

Those guys have a really high ceiling. They intrinsically believe in themselves enough to know they’re worth more than that.

Eligible for free agency in 2025. I’m kind of floored by this. April Fools is over too.

Holy Moly. Austin Meadows?

How did Cal Ripken never foul a ball off his foot and break it or get the flu or food poisoning? How did he never miss a day? Maybe my crazy right wing uncle is right about “the steal“ and about the “lizard people“ who live among us. Cal Ripkin was one of the lizard people. At least Riley Greene is not a lizard person. That’s the bright side. But I think he’s wrong about George Soros financing Tom Hanks’ and Oprah‘s magical high-speed child sex trafficking tunnels. I don’t think that’s true. So that’s another thing to be optimistic about.

And to take your mind off unimportant things the 2022 Grapefruit League Oscar for the most promising team in the first two weeks of spring training goes to OMG the Detroit Tigers! That’s my team people!

I hope Greene doesn’t pout about being sent down to the minors by Lynn Henning.

@Tigeraholic1 Thanks for posting the game threads. I like gladiatorial bloodletting and this is where it occurs.
