True, we should be more surprised he didn't score it a hit for someone.

Ramirez is having a great June. Rickie's arm, not so much.

JJ Hardy got the silent treatment in the dugout after his first homer of the year, so he celebrated by himself, which was hilarious: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_06_21_balmlb_nyamlb_1&mode=video&content_id=33913019&tcid=vpp_copy_33913019

It wouldn't be a proper baseball season if we weren't receiving the ire of the Cardinals.

Yeah. "Fanny" is entirely out of line. Please use the word "tuchus" next time. Without a doubt, we have standards here.

I realize the emotion of the moment, but let's cool it with the language folks.

That is my favorite moment of the season so far.

YES!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!

I worked at the concession stand at our local baseball field that summer. I had dropped off the money box to the lady who operated it that night and she had it on the television.

Gomez is out with a sore hamstring.

I spent the day at Mauthe Lake and the groups on both sides of us had the game on the radio and people walking past were frequently stopping to ask the score of the game and the details.

We didn't reach 40 wins until July 20th last season.

Homer on 540 was talking about this on Monday, but then he couldn't stay on the Brewers, and kept talking about receipts. Not exactly helping! I think you'll see it change more as the summer goes on. School is just getting out, and that always has a huge impact on game attendance. More people at the games translates to more people talking. They got a ton of buzz when they played out of their mind in April, so it's not like people aren't paying attention.
