1. The oldest nephew was up most of the night tossing up his evening meal (along with all the drinks) just like last year -- food poisoning, this time. I guess it's an Atlantic Coast visit tradition for him?

2. Danny Santana has scored 65 runs in 93 games.

   I dont care where he plays, keep the kid in the lineup!

3. I would hate to be an Aston Villa fan today. woof

   1. Deportivo getting spanked by Real Madrid - 3-nil at the half.

4. Nice little read about Danny Santana's season over at 1500

5. for the Padre: What do you call it when Batman leaves church early?

   1. Good one. I couldn't guess it, though, because to me Batman is Adam West.

6. Royals get a lead off double. Aoki sac bunt, then Willingham Gordon strikeout. jeeze.

   Game on FOX

   1. 3rd inning now, runners on 1st and 2nd no out and Aoki is asked to bunt again. smh

      1. Willingham foul pops out, Gordon strikes out.
         Ned Yost is managing scared.

   2. I found Waldo!

   3. Tie game!

7. I cant believe Aoki is not asked to sac bunt here. There is a runner on first!!!!

   1. Same effect.

8. It is my daughter's birthday...

   1. w00t!

9. What in Sam Hill are those guys in the Diet Dew/Dale Jr. commercial hunting?
   Muscovy Ducks and Swan Geese? They couldn't even find domestic Mallards and Canada Geese? Or even white domestic geese that could pose as Snow Geese?

   1. I re-watched it now online.
      Black Swans, too. A few Mallards in the wide shots, but not in anything close.
      Obvs not advertising to duck hunters or outdoorsy types.

      1. Black swans?

            F-word warning

10. Tigers Baseball. bwhahahah

    1. Oh my goodness, how lucky are the Tigers here. Perez never retouched the base.

       1. gahh

       2. I must say I don't know the rules on replay here.

          1. I dont think anyone does.
             Did the Tigers even make an appeal throw?

             1. Gameday says "Unassisted Double Play. Perez out at home."
                What?

                1. I dont even know how to score an successful appeal, but unassisted DP is wrong.

             2. Apparently yes

             3. Semi-official word:

                Initially, third-base umpire and crew chief Larry Vanover ruled Perez tagged up, prompting Tigers manager Brad Ausmus to argue for a review. After a lengthy conference, Vanover headed over to the headphones to talk with replay officials in New York.
                According to the FOX broadcast, Vanover was told the play was not reviewable, leaving the umpires to decide amongst themselves. However, the replay showed on the scoreboard at Kauffman Stadium, and the groan from the sellout crowd made it clear Perez never touched third base.
                The call was reversed, and the error was taken away from Suarez. Perez was out, the inning was over, and the game stayed tied until Tyler Collins' pinch-hit RBI single pulled the Tigers ahead in the top of the seventh inning.

                Doubleyou. Tee. Eff. Question mark.

11. Wheels now separated from chassis.
    I'm leaving now, going away from computer, TV.

    1. I came back. Bit of weekend work, so I'm away from the TV. Still on the computer.

12. Tigers wouldn't expect a sac bunt!

    1. Effectively, again.

13. It was a long day and most of my body is killing me, but my deck has a floor.

14. Speaking of beer, You have any ideas for using up a bunch of dark toasted french oak chips in a recipe cheaps? I had to 'age' a white spirit with a bit of oak and have a lot of left overs.

    1. I haven't done much with oak outside of a stout and an IPA, so those are the only two suggestions I have. Maybe you could have a moment of insanity and oak a wheat or a pilsner, or something.

       1. ipa, eh? I generally feel like I've had an allergy attack after consuming wheat beers, so I'll pass on that insanity.

          1. Yeah, we had some chunks left over from the stout and figured it'd be a good idea. We forgot to sanitize them though. It actually ended up tasting alright, shockingly.

             1. how do you sanitize them? boil in water, or steep in cheap vodka?

                1. steam, doc. Booze also helps.

                   1. We used cheap vodka last time.

    2. wait, what? You dealin' in white lightning these days, meat?

       1. Dealing in white lightning?!?!? No way Jose. That's illegal, doc. I'm not a law breaker....

          1. *looks around for Revenuers*
