« on: April 05, 2014, 06:33:43 pm »
End of 1st inning, 1-0 Astros.

Altuve single, SB,
Jesus, rbi hit.
Altuve score
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Angels tie it on a double off the wall by Kendrick. A little more traffic, but Keuchel gets out of it

It teases me every fucking time, and yet all I get is the radio feed.

It's been worse though.

Someone's gotta get on the bag. Pujols gets the error but he did nothing wrong.

Has anyone informed Sparks that Ausmus is retired and now a manager?

Yeah, but of course any infielder could just do that on any ground ball. That won't get an out though. You expect that someone is going to cover 1b on a grounder.

I don't know that Sparks said that. They might've just been talking about him, and I was at most halfway paying attention. Then some dim wires got crossed in my brain and out it came.
