I'm Finally Here

IN PROGRESS, FRIARS UP 1

So I battled with mlb.com for a while because I'm watching from campus instead of home (Tech has free air conditioning and I'm cheap like that) and mlb FREAKED OUT. Couldn't verify where I was, I had to call, anyway, here I am and it's terrible because Bert is on, but I'm in the office, where things need to be quiet and can't listen. It's like I'm Tantalus, but instead of cutting up my children and trick-feeding them to the gods... I rode my bike to school. Analogy in progress.

BOTTOM 3RD

I don't know if I feel like CarGo should have snagged that ball, but still, Baker, don't ruin this good thing. I thought we left Rocket Bats behind.

Jody Gerut - another product of the mid-aughts Clevelandia team with funny names. Milton Bradley, Coco Crisp, Jody, Jhonny, probably some guy named Kitten Milk too.

1-run, OK, well, way to stay in the statistics (what is it? Like 92% of the time, a runner on 3rd with no out will score?) I don't know.

Well shit.

Not that I'd trade, but Dougie Pinetar would have made that play. Trust.

TOP 4TH, SAME

BOOM goes Justin Morneau and he says "verily, all of our wins are come from behinds and now let us go forth and score some runs - here I will give you some."

BOTTOM 4TH, TWINS 2 PADRES 3

That unearned run really looks terrible right now.

But we can expect a HR or two from the 7 and 8 guys, right?

TOP 5TH, SAME

This is an inning to forget for the Transporter (Cargo, you see? I don't know if I like that) and the Sandcastle.

Do it again, Dr. Neau, do it again.

But the Arbee eye is just as good.

BOTTOM FIFTH, KNOTTED AT 3

Casilla continues his tumbling routine, and we'll hopefully see a plie soon.

Seems the defense as well as Baker has settle down. Which is good, because we don't want to deflate the souffle. Bad pun. I'm sorry.

TOP 6TH, SAME

You know, this season, and this will sound kinda strange, I've been disappointed by the lack of Kubel hating. Could it be that:

a) those people don't come around here no more
b) Kubel is clearly a good baseball player
c) b

The answer is b. or c.

Buscher wants to know: Who's Mike Lamb?

BOTTOM 6TH, GEMINI 4 CENOBITES 3

See above: what a play by Buscher! Not quite Al Newmanesque, but still a good read and a good throw on a tough play.

And Baker has put down the ghost of Rocket Bats. Well done, my friend. Well done.

TOP 7TH, SAME

Hey Telly! Y'know, he actually sounded pretty good right there. Congrats to him and his.

DUBIOUS GRAMMATICAL CONSTRUCTION'D

I was getting distracted, because I'm on the facebook, right? You can be my friend if you like, it's cool, I'm [a] promiscuous [friender]. Anyway, a friend updated the friend details to be something supposedly hilarious though I have a feeling something trite, not funny, and painfully unorignial. I have no idea how to see this. This is how I spend my time.

Baseball, huh?

BOTTOM 7TH, SAME

Not only is Reyes a left handed specialist, he's a one-pitch specialist. I want his job!

TOP 8TH, SAME

Losing steam... losing steam.... losing steam!

If anybody has seen the MST3K movie, sing that to the "Normal View" song. Also, you're awesome.

OK, I actually have a dinner reservation to keep, so I gotta run. Let's hope the score holds!

Comments:
Hell yes, pumped that they were able to take the lead, and Light Rail's settled down a fair bit.
 
...and Buscher has 2 strikeouts in 42 at-bats now. Mike Lamb, who, indeed?
 
And 14 RBI in 14 games? Buscher is a beast!
 
Just found your blog ... though I'd say HI!
 
You know, you guys should really come back some time. Expecially since I am back to not being a bum at my parent's house and hence not able to enjoy the luxury of MLB Extra Innings and Bert.

Also interesting note: I just moved to Virginia. (If you can call the Northern Virginia suburbs of DC Virginia.)
