I should never trust Elon Musk’s cluster blank disinformation platform.

11 min. to liftoff…

Think positive. We’re good enough, we’re smart enough, and gosh darn it, some people like us.

Remember a couple days ago when people were wondering if we were “buyers?”

It’s dispiriting getting back to scoring no runs - again - while the pitching is collapsing. I’m used to scoring no runs and the pitching being OK, but having two bad things happen at the same time is not pleasant.

Instead of ignoring this game and discovering that we’re winning or have already won, I have followed it from the beginning, which seems to be bad luck, so as a public service, I will depart and hopefully return to a glorious victory celebration.

Dingler jacks one!

I’m excited about Dillon Dingler. A guy with a rhymy poetic name like that has probably developed a chip on his shoulder because that’s the kind of thing you could get teased about as a kid. It’s not quite being “a boy named Sue” but he’s probably had to stand up for himself. I hope he’s gotten used to beating the crap out of people. If his parents moved around a lot, I hope he always spent the first day of school in the principal’s office.

The good thing about skipping Flaherty’s spot today is that he can hit the ground running with another team immediately.

Frank Howard? I remember him from when I was a kid. He was a BFD. Emphasis on the B.

I’m glad I missed it. At least Maeda pitched well against a good team. If anything is going to happen it needs to happen soon. [EDIT] I only just now saw the thing about Kelly that happened to half an hour ago. I guess that’s “something.”

At least we avoided the ignominious humiliation of being no hit. “Always look on the bright side of life, da da, da da da da da da…” — Life of Brian

OK, I’m here, entertain the **** out of me.

Unfortunately, I just checked in, but at least we’re not being no hit

What losers. Don’t they know you’re supposed to do that naked and streak? Kids these days I swear…

I had a great, busy day and didn’t get around to following this game. I’m glad we won! Saw ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ for the second time in three days — in IMAX the first time — this time in 4DX RealD 3D where the seats tossed me around 4 times more than any other film l'd seen in that format, and the water, snow, cold, and wind I was sprayed with were really pronounced. Hung out with my son, had pizza and watched the Wesley Snipe classic ‘Blade’ on TV. Seeing that we won is a wonderful nightcap. things were so great. I just forgot. I wish every day were this good.

What a drag. I got interested, interested, very interested, but suddenly I’ve lost interest.

Baez is on fire! The new age is dawning! “When the Moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars…”

This seems to be an unscheduled bullpen game. I think if we were in Minnesota this wouldn’t have happened.

Well, I guess I should pay better attention to what the hell is going on. I blame society. I blame society for my inability to pay attention to obvious facts.

This game is beginning at 5:40 PM Central. That seems totally bizarre to me. Is everybody’s Mom in Minneapolis-St. Paul sending them to bed early for some reason?
