      As an antidote.

      1. Libka sounds like a robot ump name.

         1. "Wendlestedts getting you down? Try the new and improved LIBKA 9000! Guaranteed 99% accurate!"

            1. It worked for me!

         2. Apparently Libka is, in general, one of the better umpires in the game.

            Also, Umpire Auditor said that this game might be the best called game since auditing started

2. In Chuck Finley news, Tawny Kitaen has passed.

   I have jokes. But 59 is way too young.

   1. We sometimes call our cat Tawny Kitaen because when we first got her and she didn't have a name yet my wife just called her Tiny Kitten.

      1. When I was a kid, our family dog's name was Stray. My brother named her. He was not much into imagination, I guess.

         1. For a couple of years I thought my cousin’s dog was named Dioji (sp?). Turns out it was D.O.G. Duhr.

3. The Twins have optioned Cody Stashak and purchased the contract of Derek Law. Travis Blankenhorn was designated for assignment.

   1. I'm sure we all share a "favorite" Travis Blankenhorn moment

   2. Travis Blankenhorn; or, Two Weeks With A Circus

4. If anyone is interested the Super Rugby Aotearoa and Super Rugby AU finals were this morning and are online

5. Apparently, MLB teams can no longer play games under protest.

   1. There is no dissent in Manfredland.
