  1. Partly sunny? Does this mean winter is finally over and the ground hog is scurrying about? And a 7:10 PM start time instead of 6:40 PM?
  2. The first time I watched Napoleon Dynamite I did not get it and I was annoyed because everyone else appeared to get it. Given that I have intimate experience of Southeast Idaho where it was filmed - since my wife grew up there and I’ve spent lots of time there - it shouldn’t have been that much of a stretch for me. I think the innate awkwardness of so many of the characters reminded me more of myself than I was prepared to admit. The faux confidence, and earnestness of so many of them hit too close to home for me. Learning to laugh at myself is a good thing and this film helped me do that. Every time I have re-watched it, I have to pause it because I’m hemorrhaging with laughter and I just can’t take it.
  3. That sounds like something AJ would enforce. Picking your battles carefully instead of having a one-size-fits-all approach.
  4. Have the Tigers become worthy of Joey Cora’s aggressiveness or is he making better choices? I just remember when we used to complain about him and we don’t seem to complain about him anymore.
  5. Cleveland and Toronto were plunking each other’s all stars.
  6. What a team! What a team! And it’s an actual team, everyone contributes.
  7. We are BABIPing the A’s to death. All these balls that have been going right to fielders are finding daylight
  8. Eight triples for Zach
  9. Two seeing eye hits in a row
  10. An easy uncomplicated 1-2–3 inning from the relief staff is a blessed event.
  11. Enns has a colorful history. I wondered if he was young guy why I hadn’t heard about him and now I realize he’s not a young guy, but he did damn well today.
  12. Carp single. It’s a start.
  13. All-Star All-Star All-Star All-Star All-Star All-Star
  14. I don’t think the way Tigers hitter’s 10 to 15 years ago were flummoxed by a rookie whose “stuff they’d never seen” is possible now. So good luck to. Enns. There’s a lot of data out there that didn’t used to be there and although in-game real time facing a pitcher is the gold standard, even facing a rookie now guys are not going in blind.
  15. Loss. Move on to tomorrow.
  16. I thought the Athletics had crappy pitching. Yeah, we got to them last night. I guess this is the payback.
  17. Jack is really undermining his possible trade value if that was ever a consideration.
  18. Three run homer for Kurtz.
  19. Jack’s dislike for the strike zone is causing me some consternation.
