You know, because the first one wasn't (bad/awesome*) enough.
Hochevar vs. De Vries (third best starter in our rotation right now, or fourth best? Either way, it's truly saddening)
* circle one, I'm building stairs, and won't get to edit this before the second game
Orioles trade for Thome.
I thought it was a shame that the Twins FO let him walk.
He asked for a trade and they fulfilled it. I will admit I thought he might have been just about done with his career after last year, but he's going strong still.
I guess the O's have a shot at the playoffs, and Thome really belongs in the A.L. at this point in his career. But I'd still rather see him finish out somewhere where he has some history, rather than as a Shootist-style gunslinger.
On the other hand, that's selfish of me. EVERYONE loves Jimbo.
Happy Baseball Night in America.
I don't mind these Millers throwbacks, but they looked a lot better on this guy.
A. Miller throwbacks.
Q. What is meat doing this evening?
Hi-O!
Zing!
The '51 KC flannels look pretty great.
Agreed, though I hope they aren't flannel on a steamy night like this. Searsucker, maybe?
Seersucker is for fridays (or it was until very recently).
Karl Kolchak begs to differ.
(although The Night Stalker was on Friday nights.)
I loved that show. Cool theme song, too.
Me too. Scared the crap out of me.
Ditto all over again. Great show.
Buxton?
Say Hey!
Gee, why wouldn't Gleeman link to such sparkling content?
(crickets)
I'll be damned.
Incidentally, a friend of mine had this very same Six Million Dollar Man lunch box way back in the day. Even as an 11-year old, I knew the illustrations were weak.

Nilsson, Schmilsson. Where's the Three Dog Night version?
Why use a cover when the author's version is better?
Actually, I just wanted to say "Nilsson, Schmillson." I heartily endorse your originals policy.
Given your Friday lists, I knew you were wise to Harry.
tell that to Jimi Hendrix's rendition of Watchtower.
I prefer Dylan's but like both.
Neil has some really great live versions that have popped up on bootlegs over the years.

I almost hate to break up the party...
And I thought that Ian Hunter cover was ugly...
Span and Carroll tied for 8th in AL Defensive WAR.
I finally checked the box score. Boooooooooooo!
A cornucopia of jacked dongers!
Yes, it's been a great day so far for the local nine. Diamond continues to impress. Mauer leads the AL in OPS. A sweep appears probable.
I'm guessing you mean Mauer leads AL catchers in OPS considering he doesn't even lead his own team in OPS. Or do you mean OBP?
Kirkland Belgian-style White Ale. With unexpected car repair bills in the offing, I'm living cheap today. Making a brown rice salad once the rice cools down.
Gorgeous play by Escobar.
@ the Walkmen show. Wish u were here freealonzo!!!!
Just stopped in to see what condition my condition was in. Nice to see another lead.

Neck Fat sighting.
Hide yer vittles.
He's in the dugout of the highlight clip of Dozier's pool shot in the earlier game. (which, if you haven't seen it, is REALLY an incredible hit)
Just saw it. Wowee Zowee. Nice piece of hitting, Doze.
Nice piece of don't stand around but take off running right away, too!
SEND HIM!!!
Send him back. Oops.
My quick scan shows only three AL relievers who have pitched more innings than Burnett and have a lower WHIP.
Wolverine pitching for KC?
Call me crazy, but Laddie looks a little bit like Royce White's mini-me.
Can I just say Ben Revere looks great in that Millers uni.
MILLERs BEn revERe
The Champagne of BEn revERe.
Nice.
Puppies! Two Puppies!
Nice!
Mauer now hitting .325/.416/.448. I think maybe he was hurt last year.
I'd still boo him if I saw him in person. Anti-clutch.
I'll get my chance on Sunday. If he plays.
What an awesome day! Two great games! We're stil on track for 117-45!
