I was there sitting in third base box seats for that game at that moment. Fifth game of the World Series down three games to one. The Cardinals were leading 3 to 1 in the 5th I believe. I had sprained my ankle the day before, but I hobbled into that stadium and hobbled out with joy after we won 5–3.

I’m watching the game after the fact on mlb.com. Inge doesn’t look that old. He’s not at his “playing weight” but neither am I.

One of our nuns was a Benedictine and said that the old story about “mean teacher nuns“ had some truth to it. The Benedictine “method” was to find out what you wanted to do and give you the exact opposite to test you and make you rise to the occasion, and she said that a lot of women who didn’t like children became teachers. When sister Betty stopped being a teacher of children and became the head of religious education for adults she was much happier.

At least he got a couple singles. It’s a start…

I have previous commitments so I’ll miss most of this game. Don’t all cry at once. I’m sure many of you will miss my insightful one word posts such as “Wow.” But I’m not Harry Potter. I can’t be in two places at once. Have a great game.

I’m starting to look forward to the passing of the Avila All-Stars and the coming into being of the Harris All-Stars. And yes, I’m merely venting.

Actually, he‘s done more than everybody else I’m just venting.

Boooooooooooooooo

McGonigle and Colt Keith are the only two guys not pissing me off right now.

This is a completely winnable game and the fact that it’s not is really frustrating. There’s a lot of BABIP going on for the Tigers as well as against them. But still, this is really frustrating.

What a surprise carpenter strikes out.

Torres should’ve made that play and the Diamondbacks seem to have this magical ability to “hit it where they ain’t.” And we ain’t doing that.

Everybody’s hitting fly balls directly to center and the centerfielder doesn’t even have to move.

Oh boy, a base runner Verling… Dare we hope we can score our run today?

Kevin looks like he’s lived his entire life at each position he plays. There’s just no hesitation. No uncertain footwork, no double clutching because he’s uncertain of his grasp in the ball. The guy is just a joy to watch, and he’s pretty good at the plate too.

Our hitters are picking up where they left off the last dozen or so games of the 2025 regular season.

We need to stop hitting balls to dead center.

With 800 Mbps the answer would be no. I have noticed it on feeds for other teams too, but never when I’m watching a movie or a TV show.

Crappy MLB.tv feed buffering again.

Scoob needs to “pitch to the score” like Jack did and he ended up in the Hall of Fame. He also however, had some pretty good relievers to back him up when he couldn’t go a full nine.
