we held the sluggos from fort worth to 7 in 2 games 4 without the zig meltdown in the 9th that is young pitching i can subscribe to sunny day happy place i admit it crosby’s plate approach and general offense have not been the issue compared to o-cab he’s tearing the cover off the ball hold hands sing songs of forgiveness and redemption we should all write in the custjacker for the hr derby cuz it’s on the ballot and if he’s in it methinks he wins it be a great feelgood story too dancing in the streets with total strangers to that ridiculous tower of power jam the oakland stroke boy letting kendall go sure was the right decision wasn’t it zooks is the best hitter on the team by far and really the best all around player we have if you think about both sides of the ball remixes improv jams we recorded the other night that sound great and make me even happier about life watches holliday hr replay likes swing thinks maybe it’ll all work out if we give him timeslack grin joy smiley smiles after all this we are all of four games out that’s right count em one two three four who wouldn’t take that with all that’s happened in six weeks of mayhem allows self moment of sincere & considered optimism about our chances at least in the al west or is it the al worst hope positive vibrations healing energy to our dl’d stars uh oh here come two more loaded first place teams keep hoping keep hoping keep hoping grind grind grind it out
