All these guys had to do was score 2 runs in the first full 8 innings. They struck out 14 times! And granted, that two of those came in the bottom of the ninth and the bottom of the 10th that wouldn’t have been played if they had scored two runs in the first full eight innings, but it’s still too common an event. And the Blue Jays struck out only six times in 10 innings. Making contact makes a difference.

I hate extra innings. Yes both teams have a chance, and it does shorten the game blessedly, but it’s still such a crapshoot. It doesn’t seem to prove much…

Tork is due…

Not to belabor the obvious, but I say it again…

Where’s my two runs?

Three times in a row today…

Where’s my three runs?

Yes, you’ve nailed me…

Jason giving a peptalk about “you just wait till the Tigers are healthy“ so yeah, let’s just wait until Meadows gets back and is slamming doubles and home runs all over the park… of course I have a bad attitude right now, and everybody should rightfully tune me out.

Being forced to watch Cal Raleigh and Washington Trust Bank ads again because I live in Western Idaho and we have that bank here. Grrrr…

Tork celebrating “strike out cancer weekend“ at Comerica Park by, unfortunately, striking out again.

I hope Zach doesn’t try to steal and get caught doing it.

So the Blue Jays are doing “pitching chaos“ today while we have a real starter? Have I just entered an alternate timeline where the world is suddenly going to get better? And no Matty just gets thrown out trying to steal.

So I didn’t know this was a day game or the free game of the day” on mlb.tv. Somehow, I’m not the least bit surprised it’s raining or will rain. I’m glad that Mize’s arm hasn’t ripped off like something out of Monty Python.

Or 70s…..

And and and and and the Pistons beat the Cavaliers in Cleveland!

Where’s my three runs? In Torkelson‘s back ****ing pocket, pal!

OMG

Do something heroic Torkelson

Kenley gets us through the ninth. A walk off would sure be nice because I have no faith this team can win an extra game anymore.

Thanks for getting thrown out at Second trying to steal Jones. Thanks for taking the bat out of Riley‘s hands.

Given that I already had Apple TV up and had stopped watching the game at Comerica against the Blue Jays, I was re-watching E-7 of Plur1bus, and noticed at the end of the credits - past which I always fast forward - that they were playing a Muzak elevator music version of the 5th Dimension’s 1969 hit Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In. It was the first thing today that truly made me laugh. You’re welcome…

Anderson pitched a good three innings. Hope something positive comes of it.
