Angels @ Astros, September 19, 2024

When I saw how slow the throw was I had already counted it as a hit. Unfortunately it wasn’t even close.

Drury flies out

As a kid my hair was straw straight and thinner than twine, just the absolute worst. I didn’t have sense enough to do anything reasonable with it which would have meant keeping it shortish, which I was unwilling to do. As I’ve aged my hair has taken on some agreeable wave thanks to my many gray hairs, which are not straight for some reason.

Now, if you want to know who has the best hair I know I’ll be happy to tell you and that’s my son. His hair is very wavy, tons of body, just unimprovable. Thanks for stepping up in an important area, wife.

O’Hoppe called out

I could not believe he wasn’t even in the frame when that lob of a throw came in. He should have been safe easily or, at the very least, close.

Middle of six…1-1

Kikuchi great again. Now get the man some runs.

I hope John Kruk comes back out for one more inning.

I inherited my father’s English complexion but my mother’s Spanish hair. It started to thin in my 30s, and now I just keep it buzzed. I always say I had it when it mattered. And I always promised myself I’d never be one of those guys who pretended he had more than he did.

And yes, grey hair is typically stiffer, and consequently less straight, than pigmented hair.

Fuck, Pena…

This team can’t blame their poor performance on flying in late from the west coast - Angels played 13 innings yesterday so they didn’t get here any sooner.

It reminds me of the overwhelming familial pressure I got to wear a leisure suit. They never broke me.

Fuck it…I’m drinking cognac.

Hair loss is not a reality I face, nor does my brother. But I always knew that if I did I’d just buzz it short and move on. It’s easy for me to say, but it’s really not that big a deal at all if you have a little personality and a little self confidence.

Kikuchi out, Neris

Was that a reaction to your pestering her to quit smoking? Late I know. Playing catch up.
