Singleton lines out
And the Astros go down 6-2
Yep. Iāll take it.
Loperfido can play, but he has all the pop of Adam Everett.

Itās only because he has failed to make the adjustment to the book on him. Maybe he will never be able to do so but I think we have a long way to go before we can close the book on that one.
The Astros lost, but G1 and G2, the Stros won. %67 is not bad.
Itās spelled exactly as it sounds like all other Italian words/named.
Itās the double consonants that get me. Iām well aware how it sounds. Thank you, though.
Heās got plenty of pop, itās just that right now he has a lot more swing and miss.

Should have used the #sarc tag. In Italian, you can hear the difference between single and double consonants; not so much in English. I had a friend of Serbian extraction in the army whose name was Cjianovic ā He used to tell people it was spelled like it sounds (See - YAH - nuh - vitch).

Donāt ask me to start spelling stuff in Polishā¦
Polish is more like English ā if you know the linguistic history of a word or name, it is easy to spell (most of the time, anyway), but absent that it can be a little arbitrary.
Gotcha. Itās exactly like Slovak, and similar to all the other Baltic languages, and a bit of German.
Actually, Slovak (like Äech and even the Hanak dialect of Polish) is very phonetic.
Thanks for the education, Bob. Never would have known it without you.

No worries. I dated/lived with a Polka for about 10 years. Loved visiting the country, and the surrounding ones. Iād go back to Sopot (where her family was)/Gdanskā¦and absolutely Krakow.
Krakow is great. Thatās where I spent the most time in Poland. Wroclaw (Breslau) is also nice. Poznanā not so much, and I was only in Warsaw a few days.
