Great to see Altuve back in the lineup after last night’s scare.

Let’s win one for Mrs. MM’s birthday.

The worst thing about getting Verlander back is having to see Dubon in CF.

No explanation from Dusty can make me understand needing a center field caddy.

Seriously. I’m so fucking sick of these dumb fucking lineups.

Speaking of MMs and birthdays: Maldy is 37 today

Wait until we find out that it’s been Espada filling out these cards all along.

Now need the “It Was Espada All Along!” song.

Schumaker’s a pimp. He could have never out-fought Dusty. But I did not know until this day that it was Espada all along.

Certainly no reason to expect that Diaz would be in the lineup.

Seems to me like this was a fine time to get Diaz in at 1B

Why?

Singleton’s only (squints over glasses) 0 for his last 11.

Have I ever mentioned the French gimlet? Great summertime cocktail.

What vermouth do you use? (I may have already asked this; if so, I apologize.)

There is no vermouth in a French gilmlet. It’s gin, elderflower liqueur and lime juice.

That does sound quite nice.

Altuve hits a bullet, right at 3B. Swing looked fine. So that’s good.

I thought it used sweet vermouth, too. I guess I was mistaken.

Brexit!!!

Bregxit!

Got out in a hurry
