They are leading and they scored three runs in one game. So, you know, baby steps.

The national broadcast crews are pretty hard on the ears though.

Fboy meanders downstairs. Me: "The Mets are losing." Fboy: "I wish that was news."

"If you want people to think you hit like a girl, that you're some Punch and Judy, then sure, go right ahead." "Oh. Then maybe can you show me how to catch the ball instead, Mr. Keith? Is this where I should stand?" "It doesn't matter where you stand. They'll move you anyway because nowadays everybody loves to over-shift. In the 80s, we positioned ourselves based on how our pitcher would pitch to the hitter, and where that hitter would hit it in response. No StatCast. No algorithms. On the balls of your feet, then pick it, Wilson!" "Mr. Keith, remember I'm Timmy? Not Wilson." "Take John Candelaria. Toughest sonofabitch I ever faced. Would turn his back to you and would laredo this frontdoor slider towards home plate. Felt like the ball was coming from behind you! So you'd need to let the pitch get deep and go the other way. Forget launch angles and stop stepping in the bucket trying to pull everything for cryin' out loud. You think the great Stan Musial worried about exit velocity?" "Baseball has a bucket? Say, Mr. Keith, can I try to pitch?" "Sure, throw it to me then. But don't aim it, throw it. Good fundies are key. You don't want to pull an oblique, whatever that is." "Jeez, you're gonna get your tits lit lobbing it in like that. Hadji throws harder." "Timmy! It's time for dinner!" "WOW, is that your mom?!?" The End. Brilliant. And, not to take away from this, anyone who's spent years listening to GKR do games should be able to channel this kind of energy and use it as it's used here, for the greater good.

Listened on XM at work. Usually my success in streaming the games on XM at work is mixed. I kind of wished I had had less success pulling in today's broadcast.

Seven runs in their last five games. Three pop ups in the 9th. Two straight games where they amassed just 3 hits. So, you know, gross.

Or, you know, they'll just roll over and suck a fuckin butt like usual. Either way.

Oh snap! Maybe we can see why this O's team has the worst record in baseball.

'Twas Cal.

It’s just that they’re not very good right now. Yeah, I was on board with her picking them up as an AL team to like. They also wear orange, for what it's worth.

Alex Cobb v Jason Vargas, 7:10 first pitch. My daughter has adopted the Orioles as her 2nd favorite team, mostly due to the cuteness of the O's mascot. As a toddler Fgirl thought that it was a duck, not an oriole, so she still calls them the Ducks and I bought her a garish pink Orioles hat for her birthday last year. So, source of inner turmoil for her this week.

He's haunted by the ghost of Jeromy Burnitz, who may or may not actually be dead.

This is why I nap through these games. What a shit show.

Went to bed right after Plawecki grounded out, and in hindsight that was spot on by me.

Well, damn. Bases loaded. Plawecki's time to shine.

uuuuuuucks

Gutsy inning there by Peterson or Peterman or w/e his name is. Let's win in the 13th cause I'm tired AF

Twelve innings of one run ball. Can't say the pitching staff hasn't held up their end.

Up to 22k's by Mets pitchers tonight. Now if only they could score a run.

Well that's a good DP there!

Wow, a 1-2-3 inning for Robles. He looks good when guys aren't hitting it into the 5th deck against him.
