Astros @ Angels*, August 17, 2021

Did you read the book it is based on?

No sir.

Thought so.

I read it a long time ago, but it was after the movie, and I can’t remember much about it. The author was an Iowa creative writing MFA.

It was a fantasy, and I read it first. I could not believe they could make a movie based on it, but I loved the movie. Kinsella is the author’s name, and the book is Shoeless Joe.

I read Shoeless Joe, and liked it a lot. I also read The Iowa Baseball Confederacy and did not.

Yikes

I read that too, and don’t remember anything about it either.

Meanwhile the game is tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 5th.

It was about the Cubs. So forgettable.

Ditto.

Well…so much for not fucking around.

Yeah.

So Framber has a limit of how many times he’ll cover 1B

Yuli should know that.

I’m guessing Framber didn’t see the ball, but that’s two choppers off the plate where nobody covered 1B.

Martin!

There’s a machete loose on that field.

Shit.
