Never question an umpire’s call. Tsk,tsk.

T. Smith,

My blog-over from last night’s blog-bender is something fierce. I barely even remember what I said though so I must have been blogged-out. I usually go with the “hair of the dog” theory as a cure for the blog-over. The only thing that will make you feel better is if you just pull up your pants and start blogging again. Banging my head against the computuer screen 9 to 10 times sure didn’t work.

Mike R, You predicted that loss in SF. There was no way the team was going to sweep. If the Tigers win today, I hope you take a break. We’re going to need you in August (remember last year) and definitely in late Sept. Try to get into town for a shave and haircut, maybe lunch at Applebee’s, take out a book from the library, just relax.

On that play that everyone says that Cabrera messed up, well I think Polanco should of had a no brainer easy force out at 2nd base. When Polance fielded the ball the runner was right in front of him, he could almost of tagged him out!

The Big Tilde is Maggs acceptable nickname.

There are a few other nicknames I now need to look up. You miss two late night threads and you’re totally out of the loop.

I wonder if Coleman, Ken, Adam, Sean, and Mike R. have blog-overs this morning.

Oops. That was meant for Coleman. Coleman, whatever time zone the Tigers are playing in, this ‘ol girl is wide awake and watching. No set bedtimes for me.

It’s Kathy, Sean. I was a little upset with Maggs earlier in the game for not getting to some of those balls hit in the OF. He’ll either make a basket catch or let it plunk in front of him, but the Big Tilde redeemed himself with that spectacular throw to homeplate.

4:05 start time today! Sweet.

Also I’m not really worried about Kathy or Kathilde or whatever her name is; I’m sure she’s one of those time zone dwellers that always sleeps during the same period of time every day, and thus easily evaded.

yes, Hair Cannon is original, I thought of it while I was waiting for the lame MLB.tv to finish “buffering” so I could see if they nailed Squealing Khalil…it looks good at first glance, but at 2nd glance one starts to envision devices that fire dust-bunny payloads across the bow and whatnot.

“I live in one of those gaps.”

Me, too. Here it’s always 25 or 6 to 4. But there’s no AM or PM. Kinda creepy. Glad I’m moving.

Mike, thanks for relating the info on the Cabrera play at 1B. Rod Allen’s comment does make a lot of sense. I wouldn’t have thought of that – it would have been, oh, big dumb Miggy.

“You really ARE gullible.”

Not so gullible that I’m going to fall for “inside the park home run.” That’s not even a real baseball play. You just made it up. Big silly.

I missed your Goodman post at first. But yeah, I thought of the Roseanne guy right away, after ruling out Steve Goodman the late folk singer.

OK, brothers in arms, I’ve got to drop out soon, or I’m going to sleep through tomorrows game.

If you look at a high resolution map you can see a couple of very small areas where there are very small gaps between where one time zone ends and the next begins. I live in one of those gaps. So here it’s 5 after or 10 till or whatever but there isnt any specific hour.
