Friday is off in case of a Thursday postponement.
1:15 p.m.
RHP Erick Fedde vs. RHP Joe Ryan
FDSM // FS1 // KMOXI’d say it would be a good idea to have Sunday off in case of a Saturday postponement. Or something like that…
With the threat of inclement weather throwing a monkey wrench into this weekend’s proceedings, today’s baseball trivia is somewhat related to the atmospheric conditions of this wonderful planet that we all lovingly share together…
To whom is the following quote attributed? Hint; This ought to be an easy one…
“I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose it’s gravitational pull and the Earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space…When that happens it won’t matter one bit if I get this guy out.”
Normally the 1st prize for the correct baseball trivia answer is a daisy and butterfly patterned oven mitt, but the prize for the correct answer to today’s trivia is a $2 gift certificate redeemable at your local dispensary…
A lot of teams had games after opening day. You see those teams and know why they do and the places they play in. That’s why they do it this way.
I hope Fedde doesn’t turn out to be a Freeloader…
You have to appreciate a good play on words. And Dom that is most likely “Spaceman” Bill Lee. I stay away from alcohol and mood altering drugs so as not to sound like Bill. So I prefer the oven mitt if you don’t mind.
Nice!…Bill “Spaceman” Lee is indeed the correct answer, KCB. And yeah, I’m dumb enough without visiting one of those dispensaries, so I steer clear of anything that has the potential to increase my tendency to misplace my keys or forget to wear pants before leaving the house…Haha! I simply thought the dispensary prize was in line with the correct answer of Bill Lee only because he was once asked about mandatory drug testing. The Spaceman’s thoughtful reply was as follows…”I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the 60’s I tested everything”…Haha! In any case, I strongly suspect his testing and ingesting all of those various substances contributed to his formulation of the “Cosmic Snowball” theory…I wonder if he ever hung out with Doc Ellis?
And what’s the weather like in downtown St. Louis today? A little over an hour from game time. Will this one be delayed? Or perhaps postponed? Tomorrow doesn’t look good either. Bad storms are forecast here for SW Indiana.
And din-din today will be another Hungry Mans Turkey TV dinner, some deviled eggs, and a chocolate milkshake. What I don’t eat Whitey Herdog will finish it off.
Then on to the couch for the Twins/Cards and then the Giants/Reds. Along with a couple of 7×50 Palma Real Presidente cigars.

FYI here,
It’s the last of the 1st at Yankee Stadium Goldschmidt, Bellinger, Judge, and Wells all homered. Then Volpe homered in the 2nd.
They currently lead the Brewers 7-3 in the 2nd.
2 minutes of down time for a call to stand when it looked like it should be reversed. What a waste of time. MLB really need to quicken the review process.
