Jesus Christ Verdugo lol
Today:

“It would mean a lot. I really want a Gold Glove,” said Verdugo. “The way I take care of my business out there and try to limit baserunners from taking extra bases and try to make the right play, it would just mean a lot. Once you have that Gold Glove out there, everyone kind of gives you that recognition league-wide and I think that’s the best thing (about it).”
“That’s definitely something you’ve got to factor in,” he said, of the challenges Fenway brings. “I just really want to be known as someone who’s a really good defensive player and someone who helps save runs for his team. Being a finalist would definitely be an accomplishment, but I want to win.
“I’d put my game out there in right field against anybody in the league. We’ll see what happens.”

Duran, Rafaela, and Abreu in LF/CF/RF next year looks pretty good. Yoshida as DH and Refsnyder platooning against lefties.

Hmm. Duran's in uniform in the dugout - even on crutches. It seems he has really turned things around for himself, and he's been open about how difficult that has been for him. I wish him the very best with continuing that next year.

Would be cool to have Eck swing by the booth regardless just to hang out and drop some Eck-isms.

The mlb.tv Roberto Clemente ad is so weird. Judge and Guerrero and McClanahan are apparently eligible for being good at baseball, Houck does charity work and Gibson got nominated for making a video message for someone?

Angel Hernandez is the HP ump in the MFY's/Brewers game. Just took a foul ball right off the mask.

Might knock some sense into him, albeit unlikely.

Agreed. Stupid ad.

Personal question: how much of a southern accent do you have? (or can muster up?).

Because that's a phrase that should only be uttered in a southern accent.
I usually use it only for talking to family and friends of the Southern persuasion, but my husband says I fall into it whenever I'm excited about something. Those runs scoring would qualify, I guess.

It's pouring out here and I lost the satellite and missed the McG triple. It's back now, and just saw the sox go ahead. Anyway, I hope all this rain isn't headed to Fenway, b/c you could not possibly play baseball in my meadow right now.

It’s already raining at Fenway
