I can't imagine Buck and Eppler will be on the hot seat. It's not their fault the elite closer was injured during the WBC, and that one of the key rotation pieces came down with an unexpected health crisis. The bad deadline deals are on Eppler, but I think overall he'd done a good job.

Wow! Thrilled he got out of that!

Tylor is losing it.

I thought the black jerseys were just for Fridays?

We are watching the score while across the state at the Phillies-Dodgers game. Kind of a nice stadium.

The last inning was fun. This really is a special ballpark. Lots of nice Pride celebrations. Decent food. Spectacular views. Nice historical presentations.

The freaking Pirates. The obnoxious drunk in front of me is calling for Buck to be fired. Not Buck's fault.

I can't believe this.

We are right behind the Mets dugout! Great seats.

Excited to be here with my daughter. Lots of Mets fans here!!

Son a a bitch. I'm going to the game in Pittsburgh tomorrow.

Nice to see Canha getting hot!

Well, I was doing more chores. This isn't my fault.

Rats.

Wow, I checked the score, saw it was 2-0, did a quick chore, checked again and saw it as 6-2! I like this! Nice Loverboy shoutout!

Wonder when Alvarez moves up in the lineup a little.

Maybe our Michigander knows the story behind that but I sure can't figure out the logic and there can't be many people living there anyway. Well, since you asked, I do know about this. Michigan is in kind of an odd spot on the far end of Eastern time zone. In the late 1800s, the entire state was on Central time. Detroit, which is on the far south eastern side of the state, switched to Eastern time in 1915 and most of the rest of the state followed in 1931. The entire Upper Peninsula went into the Central time in the late 1960s, but with no Daylight Savings time. That changed in 1973, when he majority of the peninsula switched to Eastern Time, except for those four counties of Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson, and Menominee. Those counties are kind of oriented toward Wisconsin -- more Packers and Brewers fans than Lions or Tigers fans -- and are close to Green Bay. There are not a ton of people there, but some very beautiful places. The northern part of the UP is anchored by Marquette, which is a really cool city with a lot of history and a large university. A lot of shipping for the iron industry. It just makes sense that those areas would want to be in the same time zone. I lived in Michigan for 23 years before spending any real time in the UP. We'd go to Mackinac Island -- a touristy place between the two peninsulas -- and cross the bridge to say we were in the UP then head back down over the bridge. But when I started working for the state, we'd head up there for events and I got to see most of it. There are some spectacular parts. We would spend a week up there in August and use Marquette as a the home base, and plan events all over. The time zone created some havoc with our itineraries because we'd be crossing back and forth. Because we are on the far end of the Eastern zone, it gets dark pretty late. Independence Day fireworks don't start until 10:15 or 10:30.
