One ribbie away from a Lasorda rant!

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

He had 7 through 3 innings.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Wow!

Tough call, but you still need 8 to get the Kingman rant.

But for a more-than-honourable mention, Lasorda does this…

Morning, and yes, it is definitely a series now!

Congratulations on a solid win.

I am standing by my Rangers in 6 prediction -- not that I could or would withdraw it.

Scrappy Snakes on display last night!

@YusufToropov @tabletopmania @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

That reply is somehow both gracious and stubborn at the same time.

My Missouri forbears would be proud.

Boom! This was my goal when I started in September 2022! #Age39PR

@tabletopmania @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Well done!

@YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Age is a number. I'm just going to throw hard as I can as long as I can.

@OhhJim @tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

He could pitch as long as his age surpasses his knuckleball speed.

Or is it the other way around?

@RuthODay @OhhJim @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Also, I'm not changing my prediction for the series but I am partial to Brandon Pfaadt who played for the Mankato Moondogs in the Northwoods League here in MN during his college years.

@RuthODay @OhhJim @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Let Max off the hook in the 2nd.

@tabletopmania @OhhJim @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

A consistent strike zone on the side of the umpire would be nice.

@RuthODay @tabletopmania @OhhJim @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Yeah, that has been a problem.

@RuthODay @tabletopmania @OhhJim @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

IN PRAISE OF #BADFINGER

I'm 62 and it occurs to me this band has been really important, one way or another, since about 1969, though I didn't always realize who I was listening to....
