    Sorry, I just needed a warm-up.

    Ken reports that sunset in Seattle is at 9:11 p.m. The lights probably will not take full effect.

    Yup, Cespedes likes being listed as LF much better than DH.

        Not any more. Bruins win 4-1, now face Mississippi State best-of-three for the championship.

    For some reason, I tuned in to see the tex/stl game from the bottom of the 8th, very reminiscent of yesterday…

    Been trying to comment for an hour… and that one goes through. Still can’t reply to a comment.

    • Soaker Jun 21,2013 8:37 pm || Up

      FK is broken? Maybe on a specific browser? I’m using Chrome, not seeing any problem.

          That is beyond the scope of my tech support contract. Please direct all complaints to the manager, Mr. Geren.

    Nice legging it out Schlong!

  22. 5Aces Jun 21,2013 9:10 pm

    It is so wierd listening to the game and hearing these areas of silence. I was actually thinking to myself that something must be wrong because every single second didnt have boring chatter.

    Sorry for those with Fosse on the radio.

      Fosse seems to be sober tonight. There have been previous radio games when I’ve had my doubts.

      Pretty much made my night, looks like his english is coming along pretty well too, looked like he had a real chat w/ Smith and CY.

  27. FreeSeatUpgrade Jun 21,2013 9:40 pm

    That’s the powerful swing that Cespedes unleashes every so often that is reminiscent of Bo Jackson.

    WOO, I don’t think Balfour looked at first base once after that blooper.

      Fer reals, got kinds worried after they pulled off the same ‘magic’ tonight.
      We play them 6 times in September, gonna need some antacids possibly.

    That was a very gratifying game to watch at Ricky’s, since we got the bonus views of the Angels and the Giants. (And the Rangers, but at least that ended sooner.)
