Wang's looking like that 7.23 era's no fluke.

No more yankie my Wang-kie. The Donger need food!
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

The Blue Jays have worse defense than the Astros.

The Hoes pick up is turning into quite the shrewd deal from Luhnow.

This series gives me comfort that we're on a better path.

We must be the only team in the AL with a 23 year-old DH who's also not fat.

Peacock's throwing nothing but 92mph 4-seam fbs. Is that because he's 6 runs up, or because nothin else works?

He's not particularly sharp, particularly on the secondary pitches.

FIELDS!  Into the 9th.

He struck out Wallace though.  That's an accomplishment.

Fields promptly strikes out the first batter he sees. Fields is awesome. Everybody knows it.

Absolutely.  A bullpen of Fields is a Bullpen of Dreams.

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
