Good start so far...
Jeremy;’s worst innings are usually the first 2, right? This is very encouraging.
And 3 Drinks Gary in full effect: “Placido Palanco, who has never sung opera to the best of our knowledge…”

That's what I'm saying
Just maybe one or two of our O’s wouldn’t have.

And that error (and Adam Jones, son! running it out)
gives us the 1 run lead

You know...
I do believe Jay Payton would have had that one, and I’m not ruling out that LUUUUUUUUUUKE would have had it.

Older dude took it in the ribs in the stands, one row behind to kids that each looked younger than 10. That coulda been BAD.

Great news, Titov!
Tim Ryan will be doing play-by-play and Yaz Farooq is the analyst for rowing for NBC!
Champagne for everyone!
I figured if anyone would want to know the full list of announcers, it would be you.

His
pitch calling, ability to block pitches, framing, lack of target, lack of hustle running after passed balls/wild pitches…all of the them, are about Single A level.

Well, Guts is consistent
2nd inning, 2 runs on a HR. So he gives up his normal HR and early inning runs.
Now, can we win 3-2?

It makes me genuinely happy, though. I won’t deny it.

That Gary did on a Sunday on the west coast and they lost.
But, I still blame Jim Hunter. I also blame him for the crappy economy.

Well, then, get started, young man

I know the Marlins would never do it, and he’s a good 2 years away from the Majors, but I can dream about an OF with Maybin, Jones, and Markakis. Can’t I?

It would probably take

Maybin
From Wiki:
Maybin was taken 10th overall by the Tigers in 2005. Tigers traded Maybin last off-season, Andrew Miller, Mike Rabelo, Dallas Trahern, Eulogio De La Cruz, and Burke Badenhop to the Florida Marlins for Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera.
He’s hitting like 270 at AA but has 92 K’s on the year. He’s about 6’3”-6’4” 200-215 lbs. R/R.
