Correa starting to heat up.
Altuve still hot. 5 lead off homerun already.
Pitching starts to settle down and the Astros will be alright.

Remember when the Yankees offense sucked?

Before I went to bed, I was surfing FB and saw a cool fella named Larry's video blog on Deaf MLB Network group. He's kind to share his story with baseball junkies. He and his friend went to A's game yesterday. Larry is a die hard Mariners fan. Larry bought a Darth Vader helmet. He painted it with Mariners color and added two logos on both sides (retro Mariners 1977 logo and the big K letter). Scott Servais saw his Vader helmet and asked him how much for his helmet. Servais was willing to buy his helmet. Larry wasn't sure if Servais was serious or not. Larry turned down the offer nicely. Servais is stubborn and he wanted that helmet so badly. Servais told him to meet him after the game and Servais will trade one of his players' baseball bat for his Vader helmet. Larry was curious about it. Larry figured that he'd make another Vader helmet anyways. After the game, Larry was like hey, do you still want this helmet? Servias was like yes, hold on a sec. Servias called Robinson Cano to come to him. Servias told Robinson to give Larry his baseball bat. Larry was excited because he wanted to give his daughter a present for her hard work at school. His daughter is a big fan of Robinson Cano. So he thought this gift is perfect for his daughter. Larry asked Robinson if he can sign his bat which Robinson gladly agreed. Larry traded his Vader helmet for Robinson's signed bat.

Received Larry's permission to share his story with y'all. Thought this is pretty cool.

When my brother was in HS, I ran the scoreboard and played the walk up music.

The catcher was Canadian, and I'd randomly hit him with parts of the Canadian national anthem

Not worried about them one bit. Gio Gonzalez and Papelbum will start losing games.

Home runs for days with this mets team
