Oh jeez. Are you otherwise okay, except for being trapped?
(I’m northside of Indianapolis, and the south side and areas between Indy and Bloomington have been really bad, too. Saw some of the footage from Cedar Rapids and that was scary. Is Iowa City as bad?)

Yeah, I’m up the hill from the waters, and I don’t think there’s any risk to my building. Parts of the Iowa City area are really bad, and they are successively closing more bridges, so soon the town will be effectively divided in half.

I’ve got the one that the Tribe is wearing tonight; it’s a 24 Dorn. Not as good as having the 80s uniform, but I couldn’t find one. I’m always annoyed when I see someone wearing one; where do people get them?

They just showed a closeup of a patch the Pads are wearing on their sleeves, for the San Diego All-Star Game in some year, couldn’t read the year. It’s got the swinging Friar on there. Very nice touch.

I am flabbergasted.

I know this is a REALLY late reply, but Wedge has been quoted as saying that Choo’s arm is still only 80-85%, and they’ll try to keep him from playing too many games in a row in the outfield.
Obviously, Ben has real problems in judging line drives, but I’ve always thought that Choo has a lot of problems taking the right routes in the outfield.

No drinking tonight. Or just gatorade cut with water, i have to race in the morning.
I’ve got Coors Tall Boys in the fridge for a BBQ tomorrow, though.

So when they say they give a “70’s hat” giveaway, does that mean Crooked C?

You know what I love? That Grady knows how to run the bases … tagging the base with the inside of the left foot when rounding third. So many guys do it wrong.

Hm, on the one hand, baseball. On the other hand, I kind of want to go get some falafel.
This was poor planning on my part.

No falafel delivery in Indy? Too bad.
There actually is a place in Boulder that delivers falafel. It’s fairly amazing.

There might be. It’s not very far away to go pick it up, and I haven’t started drinking yet. Hmmm. I should call in an order.

And I’m sure there’s a delivery place in Indy, but I’m technically in Fishers, so I’m out of the delivery range of pretty much everywhere in Indy, unfortunately.
