Can I get excited yet? I recall there have been many seasons they have looked good at the start and then fallen off a cliff over the last 20 years?

Right! But sooner or later I'm going to need a shower.

I hope so. Your wife said you were getting a little ripe

When you get on a run… you don’t change a thing. Same jock strap, same routine, same everything. It’s a bit superstitious but if you believe is it really?

Welcome to the Julio show. Wonder just who was astute enough to decide to draft him when he was an unknown 17 year old in the Dominican Republic. Good eye.

The Ms sure are fun right now. This is just a different feeling when they are fully healthy post-ASG

I watched half the game. Got to change my shirt and do an upper body wash.

He was undrafted. Must of been a walk on type of player.

Is everyone afraid to talk about it?

The all-star break provides a bit of a reset so I'm hoping the make it through today. Then I'll really geek.

I think today was the first time this season that the starting lineup had all 9 players hitting 200 or better! That hitting coupled with great defense and pitching that has come together may give us rest of a summer/fall of full MLB!

One of the dreadful announcers said that Julio was practicing for the home run derby before the game. He hit 37 over the fence in 4 minutes. Should be fun to watch.

14, not to shabby.

Julio beats the 2 time champ and now on to the finals and always smiling. Not sure this kid is quite aware of what he is doing. If he wins this thing he will make more in a few hours than he will for this entire season.
