Springer triples onto the hill, Marwin grounds him home.

1-0.

Altuve K and Correa fly out, but it's 1-0 after 1.

Fister starts the 2nd by surrendering 2-strike singles to the first 2 hitters.

Double play ball by Simien scores the run but cleans up the inning.

A little bit of bad luck for Fister.  A broken bat, seeing eye ground ball then a broken bat bloop.  Only one ball was hit well.

I did some research to answer my question, and, yes, the FA SP talent is non-existent.

They should.  He's starting his motion, stopping, then throwing to a base.  That's the rulebook definition of a balk.

I hate Ashby even more because it seems a bunch of his horribleness has started to rub off on Brownie.

I hated that song when Herman's Hermits did it back in '64, almost as much as I hated Henry The 8th I Am. I liked Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter, though. But for the most part I thought Herman's Hermits sucked really hard.

I get my fill pretty easy, always have. I probably liked the song when I first heard it, but after a few hundred listens, something snapped. It was for girls. It wasn't at all like the music I was really falling for like the Beatles or the Beach Boys. Or even Jan and Dean. Hell, I still dig the Little Old Lady From Pasadena and Welcome Back From Dead Man's Curve.

That's probably because you couldn't drink then.  I couldn't either, but I suspect it was a great drunken pub sing-a-long.

Minute Maid switched away from the future serial killer spokesman who asserts to his father, "it's made with real fruit so I'm sharing" after being questioned about his rationale behind pouring orange juice into a fish bowl.

Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation.

Next time you're at the bar, you should start a sing-a-long of Mojo Nixon's "Tie My Pecker To My Leg".

That song makes most hip-hop look tasteful.

Another broken bat doink that doesn't get off the infield grass plates an unearned run.

What a shitty way to give up a run.

That's how they got the first two runs.  The A's have exactly one good swing tonight.

Why does BudLight have social conscience ads?  And what's up with that Volvo?

The social dynamics of the Volvo are perplexing. The bride is driving? Her dad is in the back seat? Her dad has the wedding ring? So many questions, so few answers.

I think it's the mother driving, and the dad in the back seat.  But how does she know how to work the radio without asking the dad?

The commercial is part of a series. I believe they go to a lighthouse for the wedding.

I don't think it's maudlin because the daughter died, I think it's maudlin because the Astros lost.

It's a well-known fact, FACT, that all Swedenese are Astros fans.
