Was about to sit down and watch the game.  Then I saw the lineup……

 

 

 

 

 

 

No odor WTF?  I have better things to do.  Will check in later.

Is Hill playing tennis?

[Bahama O's Fan]

What are these Red Sox uniforms?

[Bahama O's Fan]

33 HRs and not even 90 RBIs?

[Il BuonO]

The Orioles are playing a softball team tonight?

I just said the same thing to my wife

So glad we have Aguilar not only starting, but hitting on the 4 spot.

Trout has 37 and 77 RBI.  Got to have guys on base.

[Il BuonO]

I swear, they make mediocre pitchers look brilliant.

[Yossarian]

It looks like Hyde officially raised the white flag on the year today

They have to play Nevin. You know, the up and coming prospect. 

[Frobby]

Looks like a hitter’s strike zone tonight.

Mantle had 4, 100 RBI seasons in 18 years.
