One of the Dave Sr. baseball-watching tics that annoyed my mother the most -- which I inherited, and now annoy Brady with -- is droning "there goes the perfect game" the minute the first runner reaches base. We set a land-speed record for that last night, but then managed to miss the Morton injury as it happened, possibly because we were doing some other bit that would have irritated Barb and weren't paying attention? Wouldn't have been the first time.
In any event, that's hard cheese for the Braves, but we'll see how it plays out as the series wears on; this opening win may prove crucial.
The points!

Most of the second division only has Altuve left and his bat's been rather subdued for the last week, but we have a wide enough array of solo picks that this could still get interesting. Tonight's game is Fried v. Urquidy and the latter's fluffy postseason ERA; see you on the flip, and good luck!

Still alive in the pool and gaining on the top three! Went from 7th to 4th... I need Altuve to wake up!
