Also in the gambling thread.

 

Jay Groome, two truths and a lie

* Tommy John surgery
* Has an interpreter
* Traded for Eric Hosmer

 

Idiot lost his career betting on the Pirates:

 

A pneumatic tube would represent a time savings for the Braves over taking the top end Perimeter before a night game.

 

I might be able to get to Coolray Field faster from Helen than if I was still working at Techwood. Or even from the house in Lawrenceville. Many a rush hour I wondered if working for Turner was really worth the aggravation of Atlanta traffic.

 

“I THOUGHT THE PIRATES WERE DUE!!!! “

 

Guardians go down five to closest team to them, win 8-5.

 

Connor Norby blasts his first big league hit, a two-run homer to put the Orioles up 10-1. First Oriole to make his first hit a dinger since Lou Montanez in 2008.

 

Angels win two straight at home for the first time this season and their first home series. It only took til early June. Thanks Padres.

 

Ruh-roh … Seattle closer Andres Munoz comes out of the game after covering home on a wild pitch and apparently getting his right ankle rolled by a sliding Oakland baserunner.

 

Kjerstad did it on Sept. 15 of last year. His first hit was a dinger vs. TBR.
Gunnar did it on Aug. 31, 2022, crushing one in Cleveland for his first career hit.
