There is a topless guy in the bird bath with some odd things on his bosoms.  Did you all see that?

We try not to see those things.

I watch lots of baseball talk shows and it is great to be the team that is playing way ABOVE expectation than like San Diego playing way BELOW.   Still doesnt make figuring out how we are doing it any easier.  Seems to be a case of the sum of our parts being better.  We have somewhat a secret sauce it seems.  

Most national evaluations cant really figure it out.  One stressed we were not really GREAT at anything except maybe Bautista.  

MLB Network this afternoon was talking about teams who have too many aircraft carriers and not enough airplanes. We have a team that likes playing together and a grat locker room culture which means a ton!

The Babe Ruth/Lou Gehrig NYYs teams were known for their Five O'clock Lightning -- scoring lots of runs late in home games, which started at 3:00. Orioles seem to have a Nine O'Clock Thunder thing going.

My point is that these talking heads are fixated on expensive big-name players.

I love Scott Boras to be burned!! I want to hear him cry!!!

Think you definitely have to pitch somebody besides Cano in the 9th. 

If Bautista wasn't hurt maybe Cano pitches the ninth ining, but Cano is far too valuable to waste his arm with a 7 run lead.

Tomorrow's a 1pm game save his arm in case he's needed.

Shaw looks like Heddo from that movie Rookie of the Year.

We're getting hits so fast. I can't keep up.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Looks like the bats take a few innings to wake up these days
