Reason is a good antidote to simplistic complaining. But we do enjoy complaining around here. 😉

Great minds think alike

Why is Jones still in there when he’s now facing a right handed pitcher? I thought we were “playing the numbers.”

I hope Flaherty stays sharp… < ducks >

If the Tigers played in a crappy indoor stadium, we could enjoy games like this all the time!

Matty doubles in Short. 5-0 almost there…

Short doubles i’m liking this team again!

Perez with a two run homer

Spencer hits a lead off triple to open the second!

What is this strange sense of urgency and acumen that has overtaken this listless and hopeless baseball team of ours?

This is hilarious probably staged. But I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. One of the things that’s hilarious about it is that the Bible he claims is being used in the assault by the old ladies is the biggest Bible out there. I have the revised version of that Bible and half of every page is footnotes and additional information which makes it twice as big as an ordinary Bible without all that additional stuff. So that Bible is almost a weapon. What a hoot.

I watched Jason Statham’s newest film Shelter on STARZ. It is certainly not his best work, but it’s in the ballpark at least and definitely watchable. I’m not giving too much away here, but the young girl he ends up protecting is deeply affecting so there’s some definite rooting interest here about outcomes. And the villain is acceptably villainous.

Trying to “stir the pot“ and get people excited the mlb.com app on my phone just told me that the trade deadline is “fast approaching!“ It’s on August 3. At least that’s what a robot told me. Over two months away. You can’t even fool a child into getting excited by telling them that Christmas is fast approaching“ when it’s Halloween. But apparently we baseball fans are dumber than a stump, and not as smart as small children.

There’s no reason to treat him like he’s Cal Ripken or something.

810 homers in a 162 win season!

Never in doubt!

Well, I’m gonna have to bid a do here. Hope things turn out well, but my son and I haven’t played a new video game in quite a while and he’s bringing the Xbox out. It’s the new James Bond game, 007 First Light, a bombastic, AAA third-person action-adventure game that introduces a younger, modern take on Bond and blends linear cinematic action—similar to Uncharted and we played all four games, including the Lost Legacy both Red Dead’s, Detroit Become Human both recent Gods of War and tons of other stuff so it’s really fun to get back to this. I watch him play the game but it’s a real bonding moment for us so hope we win. Hope six runs is enough.

At the In-N-Out in Boise, it’s a good place to see healthy looking Mormon girls drinking only the lemonade or the Sprite.

Carp homers and Greene homers

Dingler moonshot busts an 8 foot wide hole in the Jumbotron. Of course I’m making this up. But he did Homer.

Peaches is kind of a homer so if he’s getting upset then there’s probably good reason to get upset. I don’t have the TV package anymore so I’m actually spending that $140 on fun stuff like watermelon and eating at In-N-Out Burger.

Where is my 3.18 runs?
