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...

The Santa Rita #1 was the first oil discovery in the Permian Basin.

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.

I don't understand what's being argued here. He lined a ball foul that landed ten inches foul well beyond third base.
