If Machado gets HBP, there’s at least a 25% chance that it’s because Wright let a knuckler get away from him. If he’s targeted, though, it’s stupid on the pitching staff’s part. I didn’t see any intent in the replay.

Oh, I’m a DS bottom-dweller who just wishes his handle wasn’t a sport novelty one. But anyways...opera’s full of elitists who don’t realize they’re part of the reason it’s declining in popularity. But the music is great, and the singers are the power lifters of the vocal world.

Get off my ice you little wankers!

Good thing the South African team didn’t make it through qualifiers.

I like driving down to Pawtucket to watch a game just as much as I enjoy going to Fenway. Cheaper, and they don’t bring out the van you chuck wiffle balls at in between innings in Boston.
