And only the 2nd with a grand slam among his four homers.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad about the Royals/Astros game.

Rox up 4-0 today at home

Blackmon has 49 RBI Arenado has 41

Blackmon also threw Lindor out at third.

49 rbi for the leadoff guy in the NL is pretty darn impressive.

Puig has some sweet range in RF. How great would he be in RF or LF in Target Field? He's such a better bat than Rosario. He was on the trading block. Would have been a perfect fit for us. Oh well.

I'm confused. Getting to watch some MLB Network midday for once. They just introduced Smoltz and Pedro like this:

"I'm here along with Hall of Famer John Smoltz......and Pedro Martinez."

Like Pedro isn't a HOFer. Weird. Or maybe Pedro doesn't need that designation to stroke his ego like Smoltz does?

Based on what I've heard, probably the latter.

That's surprising, because Smoltz seems like such a nice, down-to-earth guy on the air.

Smiling big and wide is related to living longer, according to research published in the journal Psychological Science. These researchers looked at professional baseball players' photos and compared the lifespan of players with big smiles, no smiles and partial smiles.

Even after controlling for factors that are related to longevity such as education level and marital status, bigger smiles were still related to a longer life. The researchers found that the biggest smilers lived to an average of almost 80 years, while their straight-faced teammates reached only an average of 73 years. Why? In part because smiling builds your immune system and improves your mood and stress levels. And as an added bonus, smiling makes you more attractive.

No because two of them would already be dead.

Yup, SCOOTER

That's more offense in one game than Byron Buxton has produced all season thus far.

He's been so hot, then last night wins ANOTHER game late.
It's ridiculous.
