Well, were gonna need 8 runs, some duct tape for Joe Buck’s mouth, and some scissors to cut off Joc’s necklace. Send out the McGyver signal!
I take it back: this is torture.
Good night.
Thanks for everything you do here Waldo.
Clearly. How do you go down looking when you are down 7 runs in the eighth?

I can’t go to bed. The menfolk all have retired to their various rooms in the house in frustration. I alone hold the candle of… something that was going to be poetic, I think, but my brain seems to have momentarily fritzed. Anyway, I’m still here.
Stay up for the Correa farewell, I guess…
I think it’s spelled cnadle.
My wife, who hardly ever watches baseball with me, just said, “This is embarrassing”. Sigh.
Yes, because that’s JUST what I want to see, the Atlanta fans going crazy. Bah, shitfuck.
Looking forward to him ripping off his Astros jersey to reveal his Team Boras shirt in the post game.
I can handle losing. I can’t handle a lack of fight.
She’s not wrong.
Canoodle?
Post of the night right here!!!
Thanks for the excellent pbp jnh!
There is a God. The fans next to me left. The young one was scratching his ass so much i thought he was looking for gold. I almost told him so. It was a moment of restraint I’ve never had before.
I guess Taubman and Fiers bad karma is greater than racism bad karma. So sad.
Wherever you are in the stadium, look up and you’ll see a blue speck waving at you. That’s me!
Hiiiiiiissssss
