Past 38.2 innings: NINE HRs allowed.

The important thing is they locked their GM up.   BTW -- proving that he is still out to prove he's the smartest man in the room, Jerry did this yesterday..

My girl lets me look at other girls.

That's how you break in the SECOND wife, from the start. This is the way it IS, baby.

Just follow it up with unqualified allegiance.

I can't help but think these two things cancel each other out.

You ignore the fact that my Diet Coke was drank through a straw like it’s insignificant.  

By the way Tank, Lance thought you were the sweetest. I think he said you and your friend were “just darling”.  And he’s going to hold you to that promise of a silly night of mojitos when we get done summering!

sweet deal. he was fun. hope he wears the his + his chorts the two of were rocking.

With Treinen on that team, you'll never ever ever see Fernando in a save situation.

Meanwhile Juan Soto got ridiculously tossed just now

and just got ridiculously picked off of 1b by the Chicago catcher in a crucial situation.
