Enroute to the bourbon now

Game On 8:35

I hope to make it 5 innings tonight. Tired, boss. Dog tired

Canadian anthem sounds like the tune to the opening credits to Man in the High Castle

[Fman99]

Nice K there to get out of the jam.

[Fman99]

Christ, 0 for their last 23 with RISP. SUCKY.

OE: 0 for 24 after that last pop up.

[bmfc1]

Maybe Dave Eiland was onto something.

[Edgy MD]

Shoulda went for that, Grandy. If you miss a popup it doesn't roll to the wall or anything.

[Edgy MD]

Welke has a wide plate.

[Guest 41Forever]

I know he's not the player he once was. But I miss Granderson.

This is an opportunity for Reyes to not suck.

[Edgy MD]

A closer arrested for assault? Who do the Jays think they are?

[Guest 41Forever]

Rosario misses a three-run bomb by inches.

[Edgy MD]

Yes, but suddenly the Mets are all RISP-y.

[Edgy MD]

Lefty pitcher, righty hitter, two outs. Perfect time to steal home.

[Edgy MD]

Lagares with the knockout punch!

[Guest 41Forever]

I gotta say, I'm enjoying this game a lot so far.

[Fman99]

Yes, that was a nice change of pace from the usual shit-assery at the plate, of late.

[Edgy MD]

Adrian Gonzalez showing pinch-hit capacity.

[Edgy MD]

Rosario, who just drove in that run, has walkup music that sounds like The Marshall Tucker Band's "Heard It in a Love Song."

[Frayed Knot]

Hits w/RiSP, 2-out RBIs, cats and dogs living together ...

[Edgy MD]

Vladdy, Jr. ain't a blue Jay yet, but this guy's son and namesake just got double-switched into the game:

[Fman99]

Just as well that they're put a smack down on these guys on rain delay night. So I can go to bed with a minimal amount of wonder.

[Frayed Knot]

I had forgotten the name Dwight Smith (too common I guess) but now that you remind me of it, my biggest memory was of Jerome Walton and Smith finishing 1-2 in the RoY voting for the 90-win 1989 Cubs, and
then neither of them ever having the kind of sustained success that those rookie years projected. Neither really was a full-time player after that season.
Not surprisingly, the Cubs went into a series of sub-.500 seasons after that too.

[Edgy MD]

Sooner or later, their going give Lugo another chance to see if he can do this as a starter, right?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Time to stretch...

[Edgy MD]

Ten runs, with no homers.

And speaking of no homers, Juanny "Uppercut" Lagares has none so far, but he's hitting .357.

[Edgy MD]

I spoke too soon.

[Edgy MD]

Holy crap! Russell Martin is playing short!

[Edgy MD]

You've been Rhamed.

[Centerfield]

Yeah, so just like we all predicted, that lineup scored 12 runs. Baseball.

What a great game. This team badly needed a laugher.

Surprised to see Callaway burn Lugo like that in a blowout. With Wheeler going today, they're likely to need help early. I guess he figures Gsellman is fresh.
