A country boy can survive

Dang.

Is every run scored on the South Side a HR?

According to Ed Farmer, who should know, Teahen's HR to center was a "bomb into the wind."

Is it possible that Teahen's getting his mo-jo back?

Sounds like we're going to pick this Hosmer kid if the Bucs take Alvarez.

We're going catfishing in Kansas this weekend! Normally we prefer bass fishing, but this is a glamorous excuse to camp on the banks of the crik (which is what they call a stream or small river in Kansas) with our dad, brother, uncle and Cousin Farkle. Our life experiences (and politics) are very different from these guys, but, by God, we still know how to drink beer and run a trotline. If you can't drink beer and go catfishing with your kinfolk then, by God, you're not an American in our book.

P.S. We now require lots of bug spray and possibly a Red Bull for these kinds of outings, but that doesn't mean we're soft or too fancy. (Also, we're planning to take some Pepto. Getting old is a goddamned shame.)
