Maybe this thread will be

our lucky one.

A lovely story:

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....

But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.

Al had more important things to do than post the 1st pitch thread.

I think he needed to wash his hair, well maybe not that.

I think Lou left Quade a note to bat the guys with highest OBP at the bottom of the order for old times sake.

Baker with a solid single to right, 1st & 2nd, two outs.

PBP on BCB, or watch the game and listen to Brennaman. Got to be a tough choice.
