Colorado is on pace for 26 wins. That can't happen, can it? CAN IT???

Dan Szymborski

It could. They've been so lousy that they could play better ball, closer to their talent level, and still beat the white sox

Cassiopeia is sleeping in her cave. Justianian is sleeping on my office couch as he usually is this time of day

last I saw Constantine, he was asleep on my half-build PC

Not sure what Mercutio's up to. Last I saw he was hanging out in the Pentapus. He's doing well as he got his monthly arthritis short earlier this week

He's not going to be happy when he starts on kidney food next week. On his senior blood panel (he'll be 17 in August), the SDMA test suggests very early kidney issues, so I'm starting him on the diet immediately.

Jackson Holliday is all of a sudden the highest WAR guy age 21 or younger this season. It seems to be really his defense holding him back right now. Is it that bad, or just unstable numbers at this point?

Dan Szymborski

I'm not worried about it yet. It's not like he's Hanley Ramirez out there

he's young and he advanced through minors very quickly

I'm the designated idiot on the bar trivia team that listens to new music. My taste is eclectic enough to not lose my mind every time Ariana Grande squeaks something out into the world.

Dan Szymborski

I'm thinking Tigers/Doders
