We're making an AAAA team look like major leaguers.

Dots pretzels are making this game worth watching. Best pretzels ever.

Buddy of mine caught it and went from anti shot, no mask, to fanatical about masks and sanitizer.

Exactly. Let him work his way back up there.

A. Not as much fun playing no name Cubs. B. Don't like the uniforms.

They do in most high schools.

He gets penciled into the DH spot. He then has a choice to play the position or retire. He could force his way onto the field and refuse to move which would be kind or interesting or He could go on strike but that is unlikely. He will then refuse to sign a new contract with the team. In his last year he will become a rent a player then hopefully find a team that appreciates individual doing what is best for themselves instead of what is best for the team and winning.

Meanwhile one of my former players is in the final 32 of match play at the USGA Women's Amateur Golf Championship. She won 2 and 1 this morning. She plays for Xavier. Was freshman player of the year and won the Texas Amateur.

Owning the Twins has been the key this year.

We have a target on our backs. Everyone wants to beat #1.

You'll miss a great comeback.

Mercedes says hello!

Nice. I can't remember the last pick off

I felt a loss coming on. Just don't get hurt.

This way I'm happy with whatever happens. But I'm feeling a letdown tonight.

If you watch a movie in a theater, you're bad at math or hate money. If you go to a baseball game instead of watching on TV . . . If your losses stay in entertainment levels it doesn't seem any different to me than any other nights out.

No need to rush.

Let's lose a game tonight. Play gawd awful. Maybe Tony could do some old guy shit like call for a bullpen arm but not have anyone warming up.

They gain two "historic" programs that "travel" well and will lock up the westernmost southern states.

If you are a top high school recruit you want to play in the SEC.

So when I move into my neighborhood we had a couple excellent Mexican and Texas BBQ restaurants. Over the past seven years most of the fast food and chains moved a few miles down or closed, a few other joints came and went. Now all we have are Mexican and BBQ. But somehow, the competition is making them all better. I'm in a new BBQ place and damn it's going to be tough picking the top brisket from five choices within a couple miles. If I want Mexican I can close my eyes and walk into any of many and be happy.

Hopefully there will be plenty of good options come playoff time.

Pre gamed a little too much and hoping to stay awake for the game. My waiter / former student / son of the owners, kept filling my glass and bringing food samples. Damn I'm old. Not TLR old, but I have to compliment him on staying awake for late games.

I just bumped into one of my former students today. His plan had been to save money on his undergrad and then spend on his grad degree. Funny thing happened on the way. He earned great grades, heard his friends who were not going to grad school discuss what will eventually be their payments and decided to again save some money. Instead of applying at the best environmental science schools and accepting what was issued, he targeted scholarships and has almost a full ride set at UWM. He's been told Madison is a cold weather version of Austin.

August is the worst month, just killing time waiting for the opportunity to clinch in September and the playoffs. Yawn. Play around .500 and get folks healthy. How about a Go Fund Me to buy Jose some armor? Bubble wrap Eloy?
