Whose idea was this FOUR-day All Star break?
.
We’ve almost made it. Mike Trout comes back tonight to lead the Cheese back to their first-place glory (he hopes). Kolten Wong returns, as well, to the Wolverine lineup, hoping to still have a job in light of Paul DeJong’s sudden offensive mastery.
.
Flint Hill will send Dan Straily to the mound to try to reclaim first base, taken from the Tornados after a cruel Commissioner error. The Dragons will trot out newly-acquired Jacob Faria to dash the Tornado dream. Pittsburgh, Portland, Kaline and Peshastin will all try to squeeze tighter into the phone booth that is our 7-team pennant race.
.
Play will resume in less than 6 hours. Just hang in there — we’ve almost made it!
This (no baseball games) is like winter, only warmer.
I was trying to figure out how the commissioner’s error would deprive the Tornados of first base. He’s powerful, yes, but that seems excessive.
