Right now, after the opening day victory, the Tigers are tied for first place with Cleveland. But Cleveland is technically ahead of us because of the way alphabetical order works, which I find unfair and arbitrary.
I am really happy today. The Tigers won their opener, Kevin was a bright star, Skubal was Skubal and the Arizona Wildcats put up 109 points against Arkansas to move into the elite eight.
They will face Purdue in Indianapolis and I attended both Purdue and Arizona but my heart is with Arizona. I lived there 13 years. So all real world problems aside - which are admittedly legion - these were two bright spots in it today for me.
Oh boy, they’re celebrating the Dodgers ownership group on the game that Jason supposed to be announcing soon. It’s so moving I care so much about the ownership group…
It was honestly moving to see McGonigle in street clothes hugging his mom after the game. It collapses probably 16 years of life and striving into a single moment.
I’ve had great success with MLB TV over the years. Whenever I’ve had even a minor problem they fix it immediately. Surprisingly good customer service for a call center that probably has a lot of turnover. At least I’m assuming that is the case.
At bat and in the field, he certainly looks like he belongs. There just doesn’t seem to be any hesitancy in the flow of McGonigle’s reactions either at the plate or in the field. He’s perfectly lubricated.
This is the problem with multitasking, running back-and-forth into the kitchen and being on my 3rd cup of coffee. At least I have a full head of steam.
