We were able to stay up for all nine innings of Greinke's complete game last night, thanks to just the right combination of scotch, water, Rock Star, orange juice and Klondike bars.
We think Greinke (The Artist) is learning some things about sandbagging from Bannister (The Thinker). Both of them seem to be conserving strike outs, saving them for when they're needed. Because sometimes it takes a lot of pitches to strike a guy out, people. Bannister is even on record (we think) as saying a walk isn't always a bad thing, especially if you get behind a good hitter. This neo-conservative approach to pitching makes us think of Mike MacDougal for some reason. Just think about how many pitches he wasted in the process of walking guys. He should have just hit them with the first pitch and gotten it over with.
We thought Greinke was supposed to be a fly ball pitcher.
Olivo!
Nice dinger by the Big Donkey. The only Billy Butler thing we were slightly concerned about was a lack of home runs thus far.
Butler even made a couple of successful throws to second base to get a lead runner (the hardest play for a 1B?) last night.
We just hope Billy doesn't hurt himself out there in the field.
If this keeps up, TPJ might hit .190 after all.
Those 9 p.m. PT Seattle traffic updates on the XM broadcast remind us of old times on I-5.
Should we post (or re-post) more boobs? (We've still only painted two paintings, four boobs, but we might have some different angles available.)
Regardless, we're going to post a photo of the University of Arkansas' concrete canoe capsizing at some point. Big Donkeys is headed to Fayetteville this week to cover concrete canoe racing, and we've got a classic photo from last year. The Arkansas canoe was appropriately named "The Hogtanic." We were planning on posting this photo at some point when it became clear that the Royals season was sunk. But since the 2008 Royals aren't going to go in the tank, we'll post The Hogtanic tomorrow just for fun.
