Howdy, folks.

So, since last we spoke, there was a sort of a tornado thingy that pretty much wrecked a large part of Tuscaloosa. Fortunately, I live across the river in Northport, and we didn’t have anything really bad on this side, just a lot of rain. It did knock the cable out until just now, so this is the first time I’ve been able to post. You guys probably know more than I do about what went down — I only got to see the footage a few hours ago.

Now remember, none of you is qualified to criticize the thinking of such a super-evolved manager, so don’t. I just hope he can take time out of his busy day to think about the energy crisis or world peace or something.

Be nice to them, they’re orphans.

Just to be clear, the game was closer than the score indicates. Brandon Beachy got his first win in a game that was a shutout until the sixth, when Prado hit a solo homer. The Braves made it 2-0 with a Freeman homer in the seventh, but Linebrink tried to destroy that. He gave up three hits while getting only one out in the seventh to make it 2-1, with one out and two on.

I obviously will be morning-recapping most of this west coast swing.

Ah, yes, the trip to the west coast. I suppose that when you’re in college, this isn’t such a problem, but I am old now and need my sleep. I’ll be able to recap this game because I’m working tonight.

Spanish-language advertisements often use the form “Los Mets”. This is incorrect. Use “Las Mets” instead.

[UPDATED] Game postponed due to inclement weather that is probably Fredi’s fault. Doubleheader tomorrow.
