Western Union


We used to be a two-TV family back when a certain child refused to be in the same room when I was watching The X-Files or Millennium (and as a kind of adult during the four seasons of 12Monkeys.  She was asleep on the couch, woke up during a “scary” scene and bit her tongue, or something.)  But now we’re down to one set; I don’t stream stuff on different platforms; and someone else wanted to watch the Democratic Convention.  So, downstairs I went to follow the White Sox on mlb.com’s Gameday.

 

This must be what it was like to follow games via telegraph.  Dot..dot..dash…dot, ball to McCann.  Ball in play…run(s) score.  How many is hard to say because the transcontinental line went down.  This is definitely old-school baseball.

 

The good news is the Sox are beating up on the Tigers, winning 10-4 last night.  Tim Anderson hit another leadoff homerun and keeps hitting in general.  The bad news is Luis Robert swings like Clare did as a ten-year old, which means early and often.  I reached my daughter before it was too late, now someone has to do the same with Robert.

 

Oh, and Robert hurt his right wrist trying to make a catch.  Dot..dash…dash…dot, fingers crossed.
