Though between the extra game included last week, and the day off on Monday, that will make for a shorter edition here. That’s fine, I’m sure we’ve all got better things to do.

If anyone in the Ancaster area has a pair of wire-cutters, please let me know. I think I have a mission for them. :) Not entirely unrelated:

How many Paul Goldschmidt's are there?#TheresOnlyOnePaulGoldschmidt
— Lovullo'sBarmyArmy (@SedonaRedArmy) August 5, 2017
I should probably explain. This is a British football chant, sung to the tune of Guantanamera: “One Paul Goldschmidt! There’s only one Paul Goldschmidt.” Hence, the poll choices. Okay, you had to be there. And “there” is probably a damp terrace at Crystal Palace FC in the mid-nineties.

If Goldy doesn't win MVP I'm starting a riot in the streets. And by streets, I mean in my head, to my law enforcement friends. #keepitPC

I love these Gila River Casino adds with the sharp dressed good looking people, I go there and it's full of chain smoking misfits.

Can't tell if there is actually a fair amount of Dbacks fans at Chase or the Doyer fans just get excited anytime the ball moves
— Chris Poloni (@Puhlone) August 9, 2017
That's a 15-yard penalty for use of a bow and arrow. Oops, wrong sport. Go ahead, Mr. Rodney.

If you could ever pick a guy off first base through pure hatred alone, Greinke will do it to Puig here.

Meanwhile, I was getting some flak for my absence.

In my defense, I had a good excuse:
