Me either. Look at the rest of THAT staff. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, with only Joey Votto for consolation.

He'll hole up with a case of Hudy and some four-way chili takeout, wondering how it all went so wrong. I should be more compassionate, but then I think of the 2015 NLCS and the feeling passes me by.

Off topic, but curious, did you get the blazertannica?

In a manner of speaking, yes. That Audible trial version? Got it to work again. The price was right. As expected, 100% crap.

Recommended.

"goes well with a pint or two of wine." - some fat guy with a large mouth. (Audible version only)

There is something brewing up here in Seattle and it's not just coffee and beer. We were being no hit through 6 innings but managed to tie it in the bottom of the 9th and then win it in the 11th. Jean Segura had the game winning hit but his raw joy in the 9th when Haniger tied it was so fun...

"maybe we should have kept Segura" - everybody in Arizona.

Jordan Hicks, St. Louis reliever, has matched Aroldis in throwing a 105pmh fastball, and he did it TWICE!

what an effort.

Max Scherzer also goes on to break a record, and finally...

After starting the season fantastically, then going into a MLB worst record, the Mets have won 4 from 5. Just intime for the Marlins, fresh from a 9th inning capitulation yesterday against the Braves, to come to town.

I got the hard copy, if you have Amazon Prime it's only 16 bucks now it's really well put together. I might have to get the audible version too.

Not a fan of audible books usually, but the way this one is done it lends itself to it.

The second of June 2018 the Seattle Mariners are in first place in the American League West.

Gonna enjoy a few hours of it. June is a brutal schedule.

Highly doubt we can keep playing the just enough hitting one night and the just enough pitching the next over a 162 game season, but so far it's been fun.

Mets played my Cubs today like they couldn't be bothered. Wasted an excellent outing by Matz like they wasted yesterday's excellent outing by deGrom, who incidentally is unhittable right now. To the many Mets fans here - I feel your pain, and thanks for the much needed wins.

Just booked a trip to the West Coast for August September... and have only gone and done it so I get trips to see my Mets in San Fran and Los Angeles.

Even though we suck, I’m gonna get to see Thor and Co for the first time in about 3 seasons and in the road.

Oh... and we had a 9th inning comeback last night. Is RIGHT!

SFO in the late summer should be lovely (it's also cold, so bring a light jacket). You should enjoy both ballparks.

An early midsummer conversation between two friends of mine on the beloved stRangers:

JS: How ‘bout them @Rangers?
MR: Yeahhh. [grimace emoji] They’re in tough division.
JS: If they were playing AA Ball they’d be in a tough division.

I've had decades like that.
