Boom.

Excellent win tonight. Everyone contributed. Arrighetti was outstanding.

Listened to part of the game on the drive home and discovered the Astros were up 2-0. Made a gin martini after I walked through the door (Plymouth Gin, of course, because I’m not a savage), turned the game on outside and discovered the Astros were up 6-0. I’m now drinking a Probitas Rum daiquiri. More importantly, I cannot be convinced that my efforts did not pay off this evening.

Correlation = causation.

ETA - feels great to watch the Astros win tonight. Orioles are a very good team.

Nice 1/2 game pickup. Astros still have one game in hand vs Fishslingers.

I’m pretty sure Jobu enjoyed my rum offering, as well.

Does he need a refill?

He’s had two. And he has to work tomorrow. That’ll have to do it.

Yeah, no one wants a drunk Jobu on the roads.

They are six games ahead in the loss column, which is what really matters.

We may be on to something here. It warrants further investigation.

A 2-out bunt!

What a great win! I missed it all because I was doing a walk on role (auction got me) in Zach’s fabulous production of Beautiful:The Carole King Story. Tremendous show, with or without me.
