  1. If anyone knows anybody in Cincinnati, find out if their driveway is wet.
  2. I like these dramatic camera angles on Apple TV.
  3. Apple TV tonight well, what the heck, might as well watch it until it’s embarrassing. They might score 14 runs and then be shut out for the next four games so it could be fun.
  4. Wow, this is a classic beat down. Glad I didn’t organize my day around this game. I’ve been getting up early to watch the Tour de France, which forces me to take a nap to make up for early rising, and I only just now awoke to this score. Ouch!
  5. Montero and the boys did good. The twins just couldn’t figure out his stuff. I resist the idea that there’s a subterranean aquifer filled with excellent hitting ability lurking just beneath the surface that could become a regular geyser! I’m grateful for games like this, but I would be more grateful for solid performances between these outbursts and a humdrum that is really humdrum. Still a big thumbs up for them tonight. Especially Montero, given that nobody believed in him and for the most part for good reason.
  6. 19 of 24 games played in July will be against really good teams. And even the series against the Blue Jays, which I’m not including, is no gimme.
  7. I sure am glad I was re-watching a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode for the second time instead of listening to this game. Something truly unspeakable happens in that episode. The problem is that this game was real.
  8. Did Mize’s arm fall off? Why was he pulled?
  9. Following this team right now is like dressing up in a turkey outfit, and putting your head on the stump and awaiting your execution. Even if it doesn’t happen today, it’ll happen tomorrow.
  10. This is going to get so much worse when we have to play Cleveland, Minnesota, and even Kansas City. I expect those games to be brutal.
  11. The blind squirrel that found some nuts, is letting the sighted squirrels steal them back.
  12. They should dress the guy who hits a home run in a Roman toga and just be honest about what they’re doing.
  13. Pizza! Pizza! Yeah, it’s embarrassing. It would be nice if it was an authentic celebration spontaneously emerging from within the chemistry of the team instead of some corporate death march impersonating a celebration.
  14. I was trying to recall the name of that flash in the pan a few days ago, but didn’t care enough to look it up. I just remember he was really on fire then there was the All-Star break and then zilch… forever.
  15. Down 2–0 already and not even any outs. Jeez.
  16. I remember listening to West Coast games on my transistor radio at night in the 60s when I was supposed to be asleep and Ernie really loved pronouncing the name of Angels pitcher “Bo Belinsky.“ It tripped off his tongue like poetry and he enjoyed it.
  17. I was easy on you kids and you behaved pretty well.
  18. At least he’s assured of getting run support.
  19. I was called up to the majors for five days but now I’m going back down to the Class D Idaho-Western Montana League where I sit in the stands and heckle opposing players for not wearing their socks high. It’s not much of a life, but it’s mine.
  20. Angel Stadium Anaheim, CA Game Time Forecast: 85° 1 Adam-12, see the man, 415 fight group, w/chains & knives... Listen: 97.1 The Ticket Watch: Bally Sports Det Starters: RHP Flaherty RHP Daniel
  21. I’m not surprised how this game played out. I’m just surprised that we didn’t lose all three although having Skubal is kind of an ace in the hole. But we also actually figured out how to score runs against a great pitcher and that’s pretty amazing.
