I’m glad someone pointed out the obvious. Thank you.

Thanks for your reminiscence of candlestick. For me, Don was a role player. I don’t remember him doing much that caught my attention the way Freehan and Northrop and Kaline and Willie Horton did. Ernie used to have players on at the end of the game and he always gave them a pair of Florsheim shoes. I’m not sure that Don had many pair. But he was a solid part of the team so he owns a part of my heart.

Oprah: “you get a hit and you get a hit and you get a hit.”

Happy birthday Tork.

TORK BOMB

No leave Shuster in!

Lead

Parker Meadows homers (5) on a fly ball to right center field.

Well, no victory for the kid, but he did well. So now it’s time to just win the game in principle. So does this mean we have three starters?

Tork opens with a 2-bagger.

We need some runs to get the kid a win. I honestly don’t care about pitcher wins, but the sentimentalist in me thinks it would be a nice touch for this game.

At least we got a run. A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Colt Keith singles on a ground ball to left fielder Andrew Benintendi. Kerry Carpenter scores. Matt Vierling to 3rd. Colt Keith to 2nd.

I hope The ump can tell a ball from a strike after that smack in the head

Yeah. When you saw the way the outfielder was tracking it both times it seemed like it just wasn’t enough. And it wasn’t.

Tork hits a foul ball homer and settles for an infield single.

Let’s score some runs!

Oops.

I am predicting a run outburst for this 3rd inning.

Ty settling down.

The Sox are wearing their City Connect unis for good luck.

Fixed it

Thx. I remember in the very old days of satellite TV — like 40 years ago you could just watch an unfiltered camera view of the playing field while people mumbled and talked and moved around in the background.

How soon before the beginning of the game itself does the pregame show usually start? I’m kind of a neophyte when it comes to watching these games on TV. It’s been a while.

I like the idea of “medical retirement option.” It sounds too good to be true.
