    Peavy smiles and says: “I try not to yell; I try not to swear. But at 7 o’clock every night, I turn into someone different. I’m out there trying to focus. I’m competing. I can’t control myself. But I have three little boys. I want them to be able to watch their daddy pitch without hearing all the yelling.

    Dunn smiles and says: “I make fun of Jake. I mock him. I can’t even make the sound he makes when he’s out there; it will hurt my throat. We do an over/under on when he’s going to first yell at ...

    Boy, Delmon really does look bad. All that Jew-hating ages you, I guess.

    Does any team have more flat-out fat players than Detroit? Miggy looks svelte among this bunch.

    An hour late, mrs fra paolo is finally ready to go. So I'll be excusing myself from the Chatter until the Reds vs Giants game, I think.

    I just waited a second to see if the unlikely event of a Delmon Young walk would happen.

    Dmitri didn't age that well either, maybe it's a genetic thing.

    What a terrible game. Nationals-Cardinals can't start soon enough.

    They just introduced Strasburg during the opening ceremony.

    SCOUT: Ryan Cook may prefer to go after Delmon Young, whose OPS is .704 this season, with the fastball rather than face Austin Jackson, whose OPS is .850.

    Since Jackson would be the fifth batter of the inning, I have no idea what this means.

    I can't imagine watching this as a tried and true A's fan. It must be excruciating.

    Don't worry, the Athletics are undefeated when leading after 9 innings.

    How many teams would use a pinch runner for their starting shortstop?

    Taking out your starting SS for a pinch runner?

    Very odd.

    I think Vasgersian has been generally well received around here today. I certainly like him.

    Don't mind the occasional batshit comment from Kaat, but I grew up on The Scooter. I really like this team a lot.

    I don't get the hate for him. I think he does a rather good job, both in the booth and behind the MLB Tonight desk.


    I'm liking him I think. He might be neutral, but he isn't boring/bored(Joe Buck, take a lesson from him)

    There isn't a player in the NFL who is going to spike a ball better than Cook spiked that pitch.

    I meant to ask earlier. Is this a new meme, saying "It's over" after each run?

    well, they went a game and a half cleanly played.

    Poor Cespedes didn't know what he was getting into. They don't talk about Byrnes and Tejada and Chavez in Cuba.

    Oakland's determined the give this game away, but Detroit won't take it. (And the umps aren't helping. Must've gotten the memo from the networks: "We can't send our announcers to Detroit! They'll get killed by all the violent black people!")

    Oh dear sweet baby Jeebus, Dick Stockton on the TBS call for the Cards-Nats game. Breaking out my Radio Delay setup to listen to Charlie and Dave. Small miracles of modern technology.

    So instead we'll send them to Oakland, which is two whole spots lower on the list of the 10 most dangerous cities in the US.

    Thome not in today's lineup for the O's. His career batting average against Sabathia is just .133, 4 hits in 30 at bats. On the other hand, all 4 of those hits were home runs, so his slugging percentage is quite respectable.

    I went to a buffalo wings place in Ghost Town recently. It was really scary. The proprietors were behind an impressive amount of bulletproof glass. The wings were good but I will not be returning at night.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see St Louis jumping back up to the top spot, it used to be East St Louis corrupting the numbers, but my girlfriend works for the St Louis County police department(not even the city) and claims there seems like there is a shooting every night.

    "Hit the bull win a steak." I'm really enjoying him. He gets excited but doesn't overwhelm the moment and seems to genuinely be enjoying the game.

    And that 3-2 pitch looked like a strike to me.

    Bryce Harper has 9 days left to set more "teenage xyz" records.

    The no doubles defense, with a singles hitter at the plate, seems a poor choice.

    Wainwright sets down Nats with 10 pitches. Now watch Gio struggle through a 34 pitch 1st inning.

    Wow I thought getting one out would be tough and they almost got two.

    Umps get another one right. I think they've done a great job today. Cue blown call now of course.

    I also hate the Cardinals, probably b/c of Tony LaRussa.

    It's interesting that I have a strong preference in all 4 series. That almost never happens.

    Oops, I hate that they have ET and that I'm too stupid to remember it. Cardinals game already started and I missed the first three batters.

    Why not use Carter here instead of Drew? They have a backup MI on the bench, no?

    Edit: I guess that's why.
