One of the comedians I used to follow in the 70's once said "Cleveland is the Indian word for Quaalude."
"You want me broken. You want me dead.
I'm living rent-free in the back of your head."

That breaking pitch to Freeman was impressive.
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

4 Astros played so far, 4 perfect outcomes. Great showing by the Astros so far.
Another trenchant comment by a jealous lesser intellect.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Not a fan of the hats, caps, lids...
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

Hot take: MLB punishing Brantley because of Verlander and Marisnick (probably just Verlander).
