And he walks to put runners at first and second.

Before the Boise Hawks were left out of the northwest league they were the short season class a team for the Rockies. And I was at a game once where all the front office people from Denver were there and it was pretty impressive. I gotta tell you. We sat right behind them because we decided to splurge that night for box seats. For better or worse these guys all carried themselves like they were masters of the universe.

I checked the weather for Toronto and it will be 60° but my Yahoo weather app displayed a photo of snow because it’s powered by not very intelligent artificial intelligence and it gets Canada mixed up with Siberia. Apparently, Yahoo weather thinks everywhere is long way from its own driveway.

What would be best is that all the Minnesota Twins mojo would momentarily transfer for a week or so to the Colorado Rockies and that the Twins would lose something like seven games in a row and the Rockies instead would win seven games in a row. The Twins are due for a biblical Book of Job sort of correction.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad we beat them, but I hate seeing another team and another fan base suffer this miserably. I’m glad they were able to squeak out a win of such monumental import.

Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus.

Tune into the Rockies and Diamondbacks game right now the Rockies are leading 13–11 and the diamondback’s bench coach was just kicked out out of the game. It’s a tremendous and well needed comeback for a team that has suffered a lot.

I feel the same way about books I read meant for popular non-academic audiences on, however, serious academic subjects like history, philosophy, or science where the author thinks they have to spend the first 15 pages dawdling around assuring you that they’re just a regular bro like you because they're trying not to scare you off. Like you, I don’t care about them or their life history and I certainly don’t need it in a podcast either.

Cleveland lost today but the Twins are winning again. And we can’t expect anyone else to do the heavy lifting for us and we don’t even face the Twins until the end of June.

I have a short attention span and I’m just not willing to sit around and wait for podcasts to hit me like the bolt of lightning I’m seeking. So often podcasts feel like they’re just trying to fill up the allotted time. If I were more patient, I probably wouldn’t feel like this, but I’m impatient.

If you simply want to watch the second season of the HBO series The Last of Us you shouldn’t watch this video. The series is based on this second game and the series I believe extends into a total of three seasons. It’s 15 hours long and the uploading gamer doesn’t die once when average gamers die 70 to 150 times. There’s also a learning curve of just figuring out how to get from one place to another that takes a frustrating amount of time and none of that occurs within this play-through. It took my son easily 30-40 hours to make it through the game as I sat and watched. There is some horrific and troubling violence that exceeds anything seen thus far on the show in this game. I don’t know how they’ll collapse this game into two remaining episodes and one more season but anyway here it is if it interests you.

I looked it up and I was not hallucinating. They got rid of it a couple seasons ago and I couldn’t see any reason given but it probably had something to do with interfering with advertising. I never used it, but I would use it now at least on occasion.

Loss

It’s a road game. Maybe the Tigers will squeeze through today, but if they win tomorrow, it’s a series win, which is almost worthy of a ticker tape parade statistically.

DP

Hoffman gave up five runs in his last outing and four home runs in his last nine innings. If the Tigers can’t win against this guy, they definitely don’t deserve to win, but a lot of times nobody deserves to win.

Tie 1-1

Cough cough. We need another double play.

That’s rational thank you for giving me at least a little. Hope I’m always looking for some.

It’d be nice to trade him for an arm, but I can’t see why anyone would trade for him when they could get him for free. I guess it just is what it is.

I take it back. I do want the $5 million.

We need another DP. I won’t even wish for a DP and $5 million this time.

I find myself turning the audio off on the game on the TV and I have some kind of recollection that MLB TV used to give you the option of just listening to crowd noise in the background and not listening to broadcasters, but I might be hallucinating this memory.

It feels like bringing Beau in is sort of like playing Russian roulette with a gun with only two chambers, but maybe he’s settling down.
