Thunder

It's just so aggravating when you know what this offense is capable of. Big let down. We had chances, and all we needed was 2 runs, and ERod would be 3-0.

First rookie with a no-no since Clay in 2007. Well done.

It's not over yet. Have some faith in my mojo

I haven't seen any ads in Arabic to this point. What have you been Googling?

So someone other than Lincecum and Bumgarner is putting together a piece of magic. Chris Heston only has 2 HBP through 8.

You can't let guys with an average below the Mendoza line get leadoff doubles.

I know for a fact that everyone has a limit on how much Gary Thorne they can take.

So... Is ERod allergic to giving up runs or something? Sure seems like it.

Clutch DP right there.

ERod's settled in nicely after the up and down 1st.

Uh-oh Hanley

Indeed. I assume it would be to a game.

It's so sad how little people there are this game.

Around this time last year, Americans were going nuts over the World Cup. In the madness and chaos, a chant came out into pop culture. It was not a new chant, but it took our great nation by storm. I…I believe…I believe that…I believe that we… I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN! I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN! I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!!! And I do believe. And so do you. You believed in 1967. You believed in 1975. You believed in 1986. You believed in 2003. And, finally, we all believed in 2004. I turned 6 on the night of Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS, the game that the Yankees infamously won 19-8. But I believed. We believed again in 2007, when we got down 3-1 to Cleveland. And then we all believed in 2013. We believed that Big Papi would make Torii Hunter flip over and the bullpen cop rejoice. We believed that Victorino would send us to the World Series, because we didn't worry about a thing, believing that EVERY LITTLE THING (was) GONNA BE ALRIGHT! And I believe in 2015. Since January, I've been saying that another World Series is on the way. As we have found out, anything is possible if you just believe. Keep the Faith. Believe in Boston. We still have time. Turn this ship around. It started Friday, and continues now. Eduardo “Our Savior” Rodriguez (2-0, 0.61) vs Miguel “Not Michael” Gonzalez (5-4, 3.54) How do you think the Orioles are feeling right now? They got rid of Eduardo Rodriguez in the deal for Andrew Miller. They missed out on both of them. Eduardo is looking better than Kershaw and MadBum put together, playing for an AL East rival, while Miller has found his role as a lockdown closer, with another AL East rival. Buck probably has steam coming out of his ears just thinking about it. And what rhymes with Buck? Let's do that to 'em tonight.

This will not be the full length version, which would have made you cry. This is abridged.

I'm aware of Pederson, but AJ is much more valuable to his team than Pederson is. Without Pollock and Goldy, the D-backs would have no offense.

Excited to see Benintendi being picked up. He's playing in the CWS this weekend, so I'll have my eye on him, as well as Swanson and all the others who are there.

No. I'm going to cut some parts out of it. It's way too long.

On second thought, I feel like 1066 words is too much for a regular season GT.

Done. Put a box of tissues next to your computer (if you don't already have one there) by tomorrow afternoon.

Finally did my ASG ballot. Don't eat me alive here. AL: 1B: Fielder (even though he's been a DH) 2B: Pedroia SS: Bogaerts (Was a tough call, either him or Alcides) 3B: Donaldson C: Vogt OF: Bautista, Trout, Jones (No particular order) DH: Cruz NL: 1B: Goldschmidt (Tough call between Rizzo, AGon, and Goldy) 2B: Gordon SS: Peralta 3B: Arenado C: Posey OF: Stanton, Harper, Pollock I felt like Fielder and Gordon were both deserving because of their batting averages. Vogt's power numbers jumped out at me, and Pollock's overall numbers jumped out at me. He's at least in the top 10 in the NL in AVG, TB, Hits, and WAR.

You know, I really like the way you think. But at the same time, I should keep it simple.

I didn't say it was going to be long, I just said it was going to be epic.

I'm going to make tomorrow's GT epic. I'm going to start writing it tonight in a Word document, then copy it over when the time comes tomorrow. We deserve epic.

This is my new motto.
