Hopefully the road trip wakes up this offense.

Rays really need to come back down to earth Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The Rays lead the majors in ERA, runs scored and HR's.  |

Reds and A's are not even trying. True, but to their credit those are the games you’re supposed to win. If you don’t, you’re in trouble. You hope to play a hair better than .500 against the contenders. It’s yet to be seen if they will… |

Reds and A's are not even trying. I think the only team they played with a winning record was Toronto, and they lost two our of three. Detroit, Washington, Cincinnati, Oakland, and the White Sox all have losing records. Boston is .500. |

Failure? They got us Calhoun and Cabrera, didn’t they? And they kept the improved Josh Donaldson. Aaron Hicks is still an on base machine.., it is that on bench machine? Stanton is still frail. What more could they have done?… |

What more could they have done?… Ouch, good one!  I do like the homegrown Cabrera but damn, for a team with so much money, what gives? I realize they didn't want to take a chance with the Martian so soon (especially after see Volpe struggle to hit for average) but the front office's acquisitions are so suspect. Constantly going after injured players hoping a few succeed. Why not go all in on a sure thing (e.g. another Cole?) |

Too many C’s for him, which is too close to condiments and that puts fear in his head. |

Puts me to mind of mustard. Do you have any grey… oh never mind. You’ve heard that one before. I still don’t ever want to eat anything called puh-puh platter either. |

A day without baseball is like… there’s really nothing like it. Once the season starts it could be double headers every day, they could have a 300 game season and every pitch, swing and throw would enthrall me.
The only thing that would make it bad would be if all teams had domes and played all through the winter. There’s something about the game that needs to hibernate. It has to rest in cold weather and build up the hope and anticipation that spring brings. The bees come back, the flowers bloom. Short sleeves, bikinis and water gun fights are soon to arrive. They sing the National Anthem on opening day and the songbirds hear it and they arrive.
The only good that comes from a day without baseball is if we spend it productively. Get some chores done. Catch up with an old friend. Just don’t let it pass by. If you don’t accomplish something, it’s a complete waste…

I looked right after I posted that. Well, screw those chores and if that old friend calls me while the game is one he’ll have to leave a message…besides it’s damned hard to find anyone in a bikini in this state… 😂 |
