Cristobal Santos overheard the game that was going on and wanted in.
"Ok", said Tucker, "the '87 Twins"
"Ok", said Cristobal, "Puckett, Viola, Hrbek, Gladden, Reardon, Gaetti"
"Ooo! Me next!" said Estefania
Cristobal gave her one of her Dad's teams, "the '05 White Sox"
She smiled and looked at her Dad, who was usually not interested in such things but was now intrigued since he was part of the conversation. She began, "Hernandez, Pierzinski, Dye, Konerko,...uh Jenks!", and by then time had run out.
El Duque then quickly rattled off 20 players she had missed. But then, he kinda had an advantage.
"Who's next?" said Estefania, scanning her teammates, "Jack! You're up!"
Jack Caselli looked up from his card game "Me? Ok, hit me."
"The '02 Angels, go!"

(KFPC you're up)

Let's See:
uh... Troy Glaus
Garret Anderson
David Eckstein I believe
Darin Erstad
Was Brad Fullmer was probably on that team
Bergie Molina and a slight memory of thinking of Jose Molina there too
Adam Kennedy
Scott Spiezio
I believe Tim Salmon
Troy Percival
Scot Shields
Brendan Donnelly
Ben Weber
Orlando Palmiero
Benji Gill
Shane Wooton
Jose Nieves
John Lackey
Ramon Ortiz
Aaron Sele
Jarrod Washburn
Kevin Appier
And all of that in like 2 or 3 min. I was confused about time limit.
So like 7.333 after a min. and then thought a bunch more.

Oh wait. Was that no just in reference your pain as a 'Stros fan?

Because a sweep is bad, yes.
But as a Giants fan, 1989 didn't hurt anywhere near as much as 2002,
where we were six outs from a WS title with a FIVE RUN LEAD
...and we F-ing LOST.

In that sense, I think what happened against KC this year was worse than losing the WS in '05

March 17th 2016

As the Blackjacks were boarding their flight, destination Paris,
Jack wondered aloud why exactly they were going to Paris.
Surprisingly, it wasn't something that anyone else had asked yet.
"Oh, hey guys" said an older man in a suit, "allow me to fill you in"
"Who's this *censored*?", asked Jack
"I'm Rob Manfred, the Comissioner of MLB"
Jack stared back at him blankly.
"Uh," continued the Comissioner, "we are sending you guys over to Europe on a promotional tour to get Europeans excited about baseball. You'll be going to Paris, Munich, Athens, Istanbul, Rome, Barcelona, London, Helsinki, Copenhagen and finally Amsterdam. The New York Mets will be your opponents on the tour. It's going to be so much fun. Please take lots of selfies with people and tweet about how great they are. Good luck."
With that, Rob Manfred turned and walked away.
...
The team was settling into their seats, and Alfonzo was checking off his roster to see that everyone was on board, but Jefferson Jackson was nowhere to be found.
"Anybody seen JJ today?"
Nobody had.
Several minutes passed, and they were about to fire up the engines when Jefferson rushed on board.
He was carrying an armload of to-go containers from Fernandos taco truck!
"Hey skip, sorry I'm late, but Fernando insisted I bring some road snacks for all the boys."
He had grabbed enough for everybody to get two of something.

Heres what he got. Pick any two items. Dishes are limited, so it's First come, First served.
1. CHA CHA: (CON +2, PWR+20)--3 available
2. MANITO: (TOPSPD+2, CTRL+20)--2 available
3. EL TORO: (STAM+15, CTL+15)--4 available
4. ARRIBA: (SPD+2, ARM+2, FLD +2)--3 available
5. EL TIANTE (TopSpd+1, STAM+25)--2 available

Attention: Blackjacks baseball will be streaming live n YouTube, tonight at 530pm pacific.
Tonight's matchup: METS vs BLACKJACKS, from Paris, France.
I think the video will just post straight to YouTube after that.
Check it out, give feedback, let me know if I should change your players batting stance, facial hair, wristbands, whatever.
PS please dont complain that there is no MLBPP sound because my TV doesn't have speakers right now, and honestly, even if it had speakers I'd rather listen to music or a podcast.
Love, Dusty.

Ok. So it's not perfect. But not bad either.
Here's the video.
http://youtu.be/rhzwQB3gz8M
NYM 3, LVB 0

Best highlight for LVB's was John Bradley's diving catch in right field. It's at the 20:07 mark of the video.
...
Next game will be live from Munich, Germany.
Warm beer and sauerkraut.
Can't wait.
