I was really hopeful for today's game after yesterday's game and then today's first inning. In today's first inning, Michael Brantley got a triple and an error on which he scored. Then Asdrubal got a double, and CHOOOOO! got himself a triple. THAT was pretty exciting right there. That was 2011 Indians baseball.
But, Talbot gave up 2 in the bottom of the 1st and then 2 more and then 2 more and that was that.
Oh wait, that wasn't all. There was also this awesomeness by Asdrubal Cabrera's tattoo. WATCH IT!
After all that tho, yeah, the first inning and Asdrubal's "circus play" that was about it.
I did however find this for you: The Dugout Sports Show :60 with Pure Rage. Did you know about that? Lucky for us the video interviews aren't 60 seconds at all - more like 4 minutes! It's awesome stuff. So awesome I can't even watch them all right now. I've swallowed two and they were amazing. I think Perez IS Kenny Powers. Watch for new episodes during each homestand.
I hope that made you feel a little better, boffins. I know it sure helped me!
Everyone has the night off to enjoy life as they see fit, that's an order! We'll have to do things that can't be augmented by a baseball game, unlike gardening, chillin' on the deck or mowing the lawn. Me, I like to go grocery shopping on nights like these. I don't feel safe listening to the radio in the grocery store. Gotta watch out for all the people talking on phones and being otherwise generally obnoxious.
Ok so see you Friday night for the Pirates. You heard me - Pirates!!
