That was a nail biter......but fun at the same time.

Yeah, I'm going to bed.

'Night.

Not so hot a win. We stranded a ton of runners again. Pitching was really good. Now replace Pirates with Yankees, and how does that game end?

Elias says it's liftoff from now on. Well, you mean next year? Westie and Gunnar could replace our two worst hitters today, without an appreciable lapse in defense. Why did we raise them, if this isn't their time?

5:05 game time today. No excuses not to stay awake. Even me. Big family brings some scheduling challenges. Younger daughter has covid, and her husband is testing negative with a sore throat. They were supposed to come the 90 miles to barbecue today. So, instead, we're meeting my older daughter for lunch. She's got big doings. Showing a 450k farm this afternoon to a guy who doesn't have a realtor. It's her listing, so she can score a double commission. She's also expecting a formal offer Monday on what looks like her dream job. Money, fun and advancement. All currently lacking. I shall require a nap afterwards.

Trey had a 2 dinger night last night driving in 6. Lopez blew a save but Twins still win.

Wow. Yay for him. A serious shot at the brass ring.

Have fun Bawl! Good luck to your daughter too. My son and daughter had covid and both are doing fine.

I'm pulling for Trey, except when they play the Orioles. Same for Lopez.

O's carrying too much dead wood to beat good teams hardly at all or even mediocre ones w/any regularity. I sense Henderson isn't quite ready, but Westburg could be.Look at what Vavra's doing. The two were about comparable, stats-wise.

My 40th anniversary today. Where did those 4 decades go?

Farm showing cancelled. Dummy thought pre-approval letters were rumorable. They are not. We get a leisurely lunch now.

I lose track, but isn't Henderson outhitting Westburg?

Happy 40th mikezpen.
