A fire breathing dragon swooped down from the sky and snatched him and took him to her nest somewhere in Ontario.

10-2 in the last 12.

Tomorrow’s game is free too.

I think Northrop hit two in a game in ‘68. But I might be wrong.

Just looking at stats from players in the past -aside from Babe Ruth who struck out a lot - many guys would walk 60 times and strike out 60 times. The strikeouts were low by today’s standards.

It happens to me on my iPhone at least when I try to post and it doesn’t seem to respond and I keep trying

So far this ump is no catcher’s fool. He’s his own ABS bot.

10 tosses for Jack in the 1st.

Glad this game is on Apple TV. At least I get something out of this subscription which fortunately my son pays for. Today I watched the first three episodes of “Sunny” which is based in Kyoto, Japan and the sets annd shots are amazing. Rashida Jones plays a tough American expatriate whose Japanese husband dies under suspicious circumstances and is assigned a robot friend for companionship by his dark, secretive corporation. She hates robots and enjoys saying “eat a ****” to them. She’s really charming.

I get the feeling that yesteryears’ out of shape and drunk half the time players who didn’t make it much past the age of 32 because they didn’t take good care of them at least weren’t injured all the time. I have no data to back this, but it’s just my off the cuff hunch.

American LEAGUE! American LEAGUE! I didn’t watch the game, but I saw some pictures and I don’t care for the uniforms. This is a multi billion dollar business they could’ve done better. I would’ve been happier if they were something like the Motor City uniforms and one team looked like the good guys from Tron and the other other team looked like the bad guys from Tron.

This draft stuff is so far over my head my nose is bleeding.

Home runs are fascist.

If people like it, fine. When it’s ordinary batting practice, it’s more authentic than a derby. The first game I saw when I was 12 was at Comiskey Park and watching Mantle and Maris during batting practice, now that was exciting. Wish it had been at Tiger Stadium, but when my dad’s Elks Club took us boys to a doubleheader they took us to Chicago.

Is there a different version of the puppy bowl going on during the home run derby tonight?

In my fantasy world, we wouldn’t be like the Mets because they wouldn’t have drug problems. But this is indeed a pretty big fantasy.

I wish we could draft a Darrell Strawberry and a Dwight Gooden in the same year without any of their attendant problems.

When my heart is pulling for them, but I’m not physically present through any media connection to follow them, they seem to do better. It’s kind of like Schrodinger‘s cat but when I open the box it’s alive.

I keep getting pitched stuff for hoodies that make hot, sunny, weather bearable, which I’m not sure is possible. One of the guys at the botanical garden I frequent wears one all the time when he’s out in the sun so I think I’m going to ask him about it.

Just got out of the movie I went to OMG I can’t believe they did it again! It’s a drag that the All-Star break happens now because they’ve really got a head of steam going and it would be nice to just keep seeing them ride it.

Just started watching previews at the cinema. How’s our A-Team doing today?

Hope Dan’s OK…

It’s a fugettaboutit day for both teams. There’s not a whole lot riding on this game so just sitting back and enjoying it or whatever is a good idea. Although I’m going to a movie in the next hour, so I won’t see it through to the end.
