Wednesday 04 April 2018
7:07PM EDT / Rogers Centre / Toronto ON
Carson Fulmer (RHP 0-0 0.00 0K 0.00) v. Aaron Sanchez (RHP 0-1 6.35 2K 2.12)


PRE-AMBLE:

just got in from chasing the dog -- not because she dashed (and she often does) but because she was tumbling down Pine Drive like some kind of weed the result of the hurricane-force winds pummelling Barrie at the moment. wherever you are, here's hoping you're safe and warm (and booze-fed, if so inclined). as for Tika, it seems she enjoyed it. she's an odd bird, that one.


OF NOTE:

fingers crossed Aledmys Diaz won't miss many games waiting out those back spasms. he's growing on me. on a related note / speaking of men i adore, i'm delighted to see Devo at the keystone again. give 'em beans, big guy!

oh! i stole the following photograph of Carson Fulmer from MLB.com:



man, i dig those uniforms. eh?! Chicago wore 'em for years about the time i was discovering baseball. fond memories. still, time marches on and all that.

i miss my mullet.
