Not sure what the record is for having the right letters in the wrong places but I'm certainly challenging it lately.

So other than that 10-pitch sequence in the 3rd inning Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the game?



Looks like I picked the wrong weekend to try quitting drinking vodka out of a funnel.

Well, tying run at the plate.

Caught a foul pop while flopping onto the 3B tarp.

I may be off by a couple on that count.




But, hey, we looked good that inning, huh?

Two out, a three run lead, and Nimmo's arm, I would have sent Riley.

The Yanx managed to hold Tampa bats at bay in the opening game of their series [2-0], something our guys failed at miserably [20 RA in 3 games]

Starting with his age 34 season in 2018, Charlie Morton has made 30 starts (HOU), 33 starts, 9 starts (pandemic year) both for TBR, and then with the Braves 33 (led the lg), 31, 30. Tonight is his 7th of this year. iow, he's made every single fuckin' start from age 34 thru 40! while pitching to a 3...

Two hits thru six, one of which left the infield.
But at least we only have seven strikeouts vs one walk.

I can't believe we slid out of that hole.
The downside is that Quintana's pitch count is currently up to 147 thru 4 IPs

No chance of that those two missed outs coming back to bite us, eh?

HR, HR, BB, HR after two outs, none on, and 2 strikes.
Will the Mets have 3 HRs in this series?

Good thing this was all preceded by a GiDP
And, of course, when talking about the Braves early lead you can't give enough credit to the NYM lack of hitting with runners on which
tonight involved failing to get the ball out of the infield in multiple ABs [#weak grounder/K]

Has a fun delivery, his right arm delivers the pitch, then does a second rotation just to slow down.

Will get his first start on Saturday (4:05) at home vs Cubs

Indiana Fever average attendance last season = 4,000/g
Attendance last night for C.C.'s first exhibition game = 13,000

Annnnnd ... already a delayed start.

Papa Jeff Burroughs still living at just 73, so he could be around for a long while still. I remember Sean as a top prospect right around the time the internet was making it easier to discover and track top prospects. He was going to be the BA & OBA guy who would buck the trend of Power! Power! ...

Houston salvages the final game vs the Yanx and possibly even a tiny bit of their dignity.
They scored 3 in the top of the 1st and then hung on for a 4-3 win to go 1-6 in the season series.

I was surprised at the number of 3's, and even a 2, for yesterday's word given the three vowels (consecutive no less) and the rare ending S.

I think I wound up losing ground with a Par yesterday but might wind up gaining some with a Bogey today.

I've been doing this a lot lately, getting several correct letters right off the bat but then needing three or four more moves before they wind up in the right spot.

Yanx are 6-0 vs Houston with one game to go and have out-scored them 40-18 so far this season.
The Astros now sit in last place at 12-24 overall with a -35 RS/RA differential.
Houston, you have a problem.

He was the #1/1 pick out of LSU just last June and is now slated to start on Saturday vs CHC And his girl friend is internet star LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne so there's a bit of a lower-case Taylor Swift kind of deal going on here. Pirates have had a number of highly drafted pitchers in the last 20 yea...

Phils phinally lose thanks to a nice game by Chris Bassitt and Toronto.
It breaks their 7 game win streak which also ran to 11 of 12 and 18 of 21
This plummets their record to a paltry 26-12
