I had Whataburger today.  I'm pretty sure that means Altuve snaps out of it tonight.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

And there you go. Is there anything else we should be eating?
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

If there's a DQ near you, I highly suggest an Oreo Blizzard.  It's just what Yuli Gurriel ordered.

There is no fucking way that ball Cuthbert hit was a base hit.  What the fuck is the Astros scorer smoking this year?

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Gregerson has been good all year. Didn't see this coming. And there is another HR.

Jesus. I was on the phone with my mother and it was all I could do to keep from offending her as I watched that meltdown.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Yes, we should release any pitcher who has one bad game.

Gregerson didn't look crisp to me.

T8:

Gregerson in...

Escobar walks
Moustakas, pinch hitting for Colon, hits a perfect double play ball right at SS, but nobody is within 60 feet of that position, so it's a single...Escobar to 2B
Mondesi in to pinch run for Moustakas
Butera with a  sac bunt, 3-4, Escobar to 3B, Mondesi to 2B
Gordon doubles over Springer's head, Escobar scores, Mondesi scores
Cain flairs a single to RF, Gordon scores
Hosmer hits a gargantuan home run to RCF, Cain scores
Perez hammers a home run to LF

And that's it for Gregerson...Peacock in

Cuthbert grounds out 4-3 on the first pitch
Orlando strikes out swinging

But the damage is done...7-2 Royals
