LOL at the woman behind home plate who is sound asleep at the Nats-Brewers game. Everyone else is on their feet.

Touché.





We gotta caption this.

And she wakes up once the stadium calms down.

And she wakes up once the stadium calms down.

I stopped paying attention to her, but it looks like at some point she abandoned her party to get some real shuteye.

What's funny is I wanted to backtrack at what point she maybe got tired and gave out, and in the top of the 8th inning I saw a completely different [elderly] group sitting in those seats. Turns out those three women were directly behind them in the third row at the time, and when the older folks left you see them suddenly appearing there in the bottom of the 8th inning. She was already fading in and out by that point, lol.

Wow, Eduardo Escobar is an idiot.

Down by five runs with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and he's trying to stretch a double into a triple, getting thrown out by plenty.

I know they are against tremendous odds in a comeback with that scenario regardless, but given the offensive era we are in right now and what Arizona has been able to string together lately, you just don't have a selfish blip like that which can cost your team any such chance at victory.

It's Baseball 101.

EDIT: To avoid the triple-post, I'll just mention here... at the stroke of midnight, Yelich ties it up by breaking the tie with a solo shot.

Brewers scored more runs tonight than the Packers did this week.

That Brewers-Nationals game was insane. But, my favorite takeaway is the winning and losing pitchers were both J. Guerra. Junior Guerra winning for the Brewers and a Javy Guerra sighting for the Nats with the loss. lol

I didn't know Javy Guerra was still playing pro ball. Last I heard he was pitching for the White Sox. So I looked it up and he was most recently playing AAA ball for the Miami team. No wonder I hadn't heard anything about him.

What's even better is that "guerra" is "war" in Spanish.

In war, there is always a winner and a loser.

What's crazier about that, this was Vladdy Jrs 91st game. It was his 13th home run, and 45th run.

After 91 career games, his dad had 12 home runs and 45 runs.

Both guys also had 22 doubles.

Clevinger looks like he is doing the pee-pee dance before he delivers a pitch. Also for the record this home plate ump really ****ing sucks!

Acuna almost robbed Bellinger's 3 run HR. Literally in his glove but couldn't come down with it.

Dumb.

Neither could gravity, snap back to reality 'oop there goes gravity.

He was kind of having a sissyfit out there, though. Not his fault, and did his best.
