    If the Guardians played in Pittsburgh on the weekend, I probably would have gone to a game. PNC is a great park.

    Bieber has an achy arm. Keep tuned. 

    PNC is indeed a nice baseball park ..... way better than the cookie cutter previous lousy MLB deal.

    Yeah, I went to one Pirates game at Three Rivers back in '98, that was plenty.

    Had all the atmosphere of a Dollar General.

    I saw a LOT in the 70s Lumber Company days and more in the 80s.  Enough. 

    GAME  91 here tonight  CLE (45-45) still very much in this division. 

    My back is still killing me, I hope to get my stats caught up soon.   Perfect break time.

  • I was counting on Cleveland to knock off Texas yesterday to keep the Astros 2 back. But baseball is a funny game. Rangers clock the Guardians and the Astros came back down 0-2 to Ohtani and the Angels to win it 7-5. The Japanese Babe Ruth is a fun one to watch, even when he loses.

    If he ends up going to a team in the Eastern Time Zone (or Central) he's going to be a megastar. 

    As much of a unicorn he is, a lot of people have barely actually seen him because he's been in the no-mans land that is playing for the Angels.

    You got that right. Angels started with a 3-0 lead tonight on the Astros, but the score is now 9-3 Astros after 6 1/2 innings.

    Rosario and Josh Naylor hit some big boy homers tonight. That's a helluva poke out to the LCF corner at PNC. 

  • I wish the Guardians could play Pittsburgh 162 times. 

    Cleveland 19, Pittsburgh 0 so far this series.

    ~  AND  to continue tonight  in     - GAME  95 -    and  an important  Game  2 of 3 against  home team  PITTSBURGH   to go up  2-0 and a shot at  a 3-0  sweep  in a.                 .....WEDNESDAY    12:35  pm   " getaway day game "   

    ~  GAME  95  -  Game 2 of 3  tonight  I wrote up a really good preview on tonight's game   -and-  a really great analysis on tonight's starter Logan Allen.   It was also fantastic job !   BUT as you can see   *poof*  not there ..... I made a rookie writers' mistake   I DIDN'T SAVE MY WORK .....  I got real busy tonight  and   *poof*   gone.

    I could say that I had a    5 hour rough doctor's appointment    which was   TRUE   BTW  (I had some old suchures removed and some new ones reimplanted .... hey you asked,  lol)   we did it in his office instead of going into the hospital to have it done.   

    SO  bottom line   it was   a rookie mistake and I won't do it again  ...... I hope.

    ●-->   Oh it was a great game tonight  ●--> ★ CLE  10  13 0  - WP  Logan Allen  (4-2)  3.21  ERA   --◇--  PIT   1 5 1  LP  M. Keiler  (9-5)  

    ●--->  AND  see you tomorrow  afternoon      at 12:35 EDST    for the exciting   GAME 3  try for the sweep !     😁.    AND REMEMBER TO BACK UP OR SAVE YOUR  DAMN  DATA !           

              ●----->     NOW  PLAY BALL  at   12:35  pm  !        ⚾

  • GAME  96 -  Game  3 of 3  CLE versus PIT.  Starting pitchers  - Civale  vs  Hill   .......   "for the sweep against  Pittsburgh "      GO GUARDIANS  !

    [ NEWS FLASH :  WE INTERRUPT THIS GUARDIANS   'WET DREAM'   FOR THIS NEWS FLASH FROM NY, NY.... where else right.   😆  yeah NY. ]

    PITTSBURGH -- For a few moments, the Pirates and Guardians’ collective fates were out of either of their hands. Rather, their destinies would be decided by a select group of people in New York. The powers that be inside of Major League Baseball’s Replay Operations Center would have to determine if Bryan Reynolds just hit into an inning-ending, bases-loaded double play, as the call was originally made, or if Reynolds actually had actually beaten out the throw to first.

    Following several agonizing long minutes, crew chief Adrian Johnson made the announcement: the call was overturned, Reynolds was safe and a run scored. It was a decision that set the tone for a five-run seventh inning and, in time, a 7-5 win over the Guardians, a victory that snapped a five-game losing streak and provided the Pirates with some much-needed life.

    “It was a much-needed win for us today,” said Ji Man Choi through team interpreter Daniel Park. “The last couple days have been tough for us. We really needed this win to get the momentum going for us again.”

    ●~~~~~~~~~~>     ⚾     <~~~~~~~~~~~●

    [ OK GUARDIANS FANS , back to your  .500+ dreams.   After all you're almost there ..... again.   😆     ]

    Oh yeah Wednesday's  game recap.

    x PIT  7 9 0   WP Ryan Borschi  (just called up, wins his first game)  1-0  4.63  ERA  --◇--  CLE  5 9 0  LP  Hentges  1-2 6.81  ERA

  • I was listening to the local sports show, and someone on there threw out an interesting idea....

    With the DH universal, and balanced schedules, could you see a massive change to MLB? Where the National/American Leagues are pretty much scrapped or in name only, and the divisions are re-organized by geography.... so hypothetically, the Guardians could be in a division with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, etc... 

    I kind of dig the idea of the Guardians competing with the Pirates and Reds yearly for playoff spots. How strong is the Guardians rivalry with the Twins or Royals, really? But with Pittsburgh and Cincinnati? BRING. IT. ON. 

    You'd also have the Mets and Yankees fighting it out...

    Those young 2022 Guardians have to learn how to defend their 2022 crown  ...... even though they are still the youngest team out there.  Pirates included.
