  • Brad Snyder, 2-run HR off recent call-up from Corpus Christi D. Meszaros. Iowa 4, Round Rock 2, t13th . Jerry Grote’s halluncinating. Me too #
  • Lester’s perfect game bid vs. Seattle was broken up by Michael Saunders. Next up, his version of “(Dave O’Brien) Get Off The Air” #
  • the San Francisco Giants are the most understanding of employers. They still have something to play for, right? http://bit.ly/b5EMYp #
  • RBI single for Sam Fuld off former Nat Gary Majewski. Iowa 3, Round Rock 2, top of the 10th #
  • Top of the 10th in Round Rock ; Express tied it on IF error w/ 2 out in the 9th ; hosts’ mgr Bombard just tossed after lengthy squabble #
  • If you can get stabbed in the face at ComicCon, being hacked to pieces at a Pains Of Being Pure At Heart gig seems entirely possible. #

  • Bogusevic not holding Zambrano ; Round Round dubious of Big Z’s speed on the basepaths http://tweetphoto.com/34753653 #
  • Zambrano just prior to hitting a single up the middle to lead off the Iowa 8th http://tweetphoto.com/34753195 #

  • Those “disappointed” in Kiffin’s conduct must also be surprised when Kevin Smith movies suck. #

  • @prttimesouthpaw , @dps2002. Talkin’ bout Zeke as a GM. Not as a coach, CBA killer or Anucha-smoocher. Also, that Popcorn, IN stuff is TASTY #
  • Xavier Paul singlehandedly raised Pelf’s pitch count to 340 #
