Happy Father's Day to all fellow dads on the forum and of course thoughts to our dads who we have lost - 14 years since my dad went. Think of him every single day.......
1.10pm PDT, 4:10pm EDT, 9:10pm BST
After Darren's capitulation/non-show to a 0-5 record, maybe I can get us 1 win - as that's all I seem to be able to string together. Having said that we are up against a leftie and I thought I heard that our record against lefty starters is the worst in MLB.
Milikin - start your engine.
Payton Tolle (L) 3-4 2.93 ERA
v
Logan Gilbert (R) 5-4 3.43 ERA
It's a busy day for me with other sports to occupy the mind.
World Cup - PDT times
Spain v Saudi Arabia 9am
Belgium v Iran 12 noon
Uruguay v Cape Verde 3pm
New Zealand v Egypt 6pm
Golf - US Open Final Round
Wyndham Clark -7
Scottie Scheffler -1

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Take a day. Have a beer. Hug your wife and kids.
Let’s get back in the winning column again, shall we?
Go, M’s!!!

I see Jarred Kelenic is up with the Rangers after slashing .340/.431/.620/1.051 for their AAA affiliate.
It's truly amazing how guys like Wisdom and Kelenic can just abuse AAA but piss themselves the second they step in a MLB box.

Thanks, Mike, for leading with Father's Day, and a very happy one to you and all fathers. I'm blessed with two on the descendent side and of course ol' Dad and Grandfathers on the ancestral side. One of my Grandfathers played a lead role in designing the largest steam engine to run the rails, for 12 years - the Northern Pacific Z5, of which 11 were made. 9 1/2 Volkswagons in length, about 123ft. Oh, Grandpa was the pitcher for the NP team in a lot of games, later in his career. He was good!

Today's assessment: M's toast? But Tolle has cooled in his last 2 games. A shit crew of 4 collectively batting about .170 (sorry, includes Cal) will be fielded, conceding an immediate advantage to Boston from the outset. Who's your Daddy??????

Happy Father's Day, fathers and sons.
Colt must be napping in the barn stall, I guess.
Westworld back at 3rd base
and the Mighty and Powerfuked Refs is batting 5th again.
3 hits, can we get at least 3 hits today? 4? 5? All depends on for whom the bell Tolles, it seems.
