Guthrie is coming off a start in which he got the win, but wasn't very effective at all.

Go figure.

There is an 80% chance of rain tonight.

Guthrie's Last Start

.. maybe makes up a little for all the times he pitched well but go no support and ended up losing or no-decision.

I was supposed to be a fast moving front

It’s been and gone through Salisbury already – in about 15 minutes

The real trick would be watching MLB at a faculty meeting.

I used to sneak paper grading in, but even that was tough.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner—you still going to Ruth’s house on Tuesday? Is that your bleacher day? I think I will be going with my daughter (gotta get a Bird-cap).

8-pitch AB

We could use some of that from the rest of the team. Millar may not be what he used to be, but he knows how to play the game.

Nice to see

Ramon and Nick stretch him out, too.

Just For Mean really works!

But Palmer certainly keeps himself in good shape for a man his age – I mean, he was a rookie in 1966, right?

Wow, Palmer owned 1982

I mean, he was dogshit that day. Nice to see him own up to that.

Yes, but Gary's probably got the biggest waist of the three...

Speaking of which, why doesn’t MASN show the game instead of showing guys with microphones? They do this every time someone’s being interviewed. Who can forget Dennis S.’s mom?

he’s kinda smooth on the air

You never realize

you many times you use placeholders like that until you watch yourself. I had a supervisor once count the number of times I said “You know” in 1 50-minute class. It was in the 30s. I had no idea.

Yeah, Palmer keeps himself in good shape and all, but he still shouldn't look YOUNGER than Cal.

Which may be another way of saying Jim’s shampooing with Grecian Formula and Cal might wanna drop by Hair Club for Men.
