I'm nervous.  Working on cars (replacing the oil pan on a 2010 Audi A3 Sportback), drinking some Fiddlehead (http://www.fiddleheadbrewing.com/) and listening to the Dodgers/Brewers game as a primer.  Man, the Dodgers radio team is horrible.  Such a tremendous drop off from Scully.

On the basis I might not remember tomorrow, I had a tostada and enchilada dinner (meatless, of course) at La Mexicana, with two large frozen margaritas.  I’m wearing my Bagwell orange silhouette  t-shirt and I’m currently drinking Founder’s “All Day” IPA. 

Just in case this works out...

Altuve grounds into FC, Springer out 6-4 at 2B
Bregman pops to shallow RF...in no man's land...it drops off of Betts's glove...Altuve has to hustle to 2B as the throw pulls Bogaerts off the bag...Red Sox challenging play at 2B...replay is very close...overturned...score it a FC for Bregman, Altuve out 9-6 at 2B

I like how those clowns seem surprised that was ruled a base hit and not an error.

Went right under his glove.  He does this for a living, he should’ve snagged that. 

So glad he sucks at his job.

Worst rule in baseball though. The league needs to amend the rules so a belly momentarily not contacting the bag when the entire body is over it isn’t an out. It’s a bad application of the replay rule.

I get your frustration, but he’s advancing at his own risk and it’s his job to reach and stay on the bag.  He didn’t. 

Now, the Ump missed the call and he was out for reasons not seen by the Ump at the time, but he was still out.

So what happens when you’re out of visits.  The pitcher has to go?

Apparently warnings and ejections for the visiting party.

Quality rum should be fairly easy for you to procure.   I don't know about pineapples.  They say you can't get a decent pineapple in Hawaii.  Kind of like you can't get a decent cup of coffee in Java.

They pretty much don’t grow pineapples in Hawaii any more.  They import them from Mexico, like everyone else.  Basically anything you eat in Hawaii has been procured from the same place H-E-B gets them.

I have no trouble getting pineapples. I have a go-to guy and I usually get two for a dollar. One day he wasn't happy with the size of his stock that day and he gave me four. I bought fifteen pears for a dollar the other day for some reason. But that's not really relevant.

I can get quality rum but I choose not to. I hardly ever buy hard liquor, mostly because I know I will drink it. But I will buy local rum on patriotic occasions, and I will buy the local seco when my mom comes to town.

Maybe I'll buy a small amount tomorrow.

Saw this on twitter:

The Astros have hit a HR in 13 straight postseason games, tied for the longest such streak in postseason history. It's also the LONGEST such streak by an AL team in postseason history

They're tied with...the NL Astros, in 2001-04, who also homered in 13 straight postseason games

Ford indicated that Kemp's advance to third would be credited as a fielder's choice. Is that right? I'd always thought the safe one got a stolen base, tho I see now how that makes sense.

Long leadoff single,  well played off the wall by Marwin.

3 more outs,  people.

Funny thing is it's never the kids.

Speaking of, I just discovered that my son somehow got into a full box of index cards and has thoughtfully arranged them about the living room floor and beyond.

No stolen base when they get the trail runner.

Not that I care, but why would you be taking a close pitch down 5 runs in the 9th?

Are they arranged alphabetically or allegorically?

Yahoos on TBS cannot stop complaining about strike three to Benintendi in the 5th. They’re basically suggesting the Red Sox were cheated out of a win.

Yeah, and then sort of excused the loss on the fact that the hype from the "real" series with the Yankees kind of lead to a let down against the Astros.

Maybe someone should tell Jimmy Rollins and the rest of the TBS crew that the Astros won the World Series last year, not the Yankees, and that the Astros had three more wins than the Yankees this season, without the benefit of playing the Orioles 19 times.

Bregman was officially 0-1 (the popup FC).
3 walks and a hbp in his other plate appearances.

They want someone else to beat them.  Glad Yuli obliged.

These aren’t your father’s Astros, when you could walk Bagwell and beat the rest. 

And fuck those ‘tards at TBS.  All they’ve done by snagging the Astros’ postseason is reinforce why I never watch their make-weight channel.
