Can anyone guess who didn’t start during the winning streak?

Weaver doesnt need to be a starter.

I would honestly be more comfortable with Ross starting over Weaver.

Good at bat by Wisdom. Let’s take advantage of it.

Is wisdom a good base runner

He must be faster than the average 3rd baseman. I remember the other day when he scored easily from second on a single that he had to faster than I expected.

Maybe. They said the other day that the Cardinals offered him to every team in the league and no one wanted him. I’m not sure 5 days changes it that much.

Errors cost them but they went down fighting

Oniell looked like shit in that at bat.

Is arties cable still out?

Comcast was supposed to send someone between 4-6 p.m. My son got the TV back working, but I still wanted them to show up because we've been having problems for awhile. At 6:15, Comcast called to say the technician was running late. At that point my wife and son left to visit my mother-in-law, who is in a hospital after she fell in a movie theater on Monday and injured her hip and shoulder. 
Comcast showed up at 6:45. No one was home. I work until 7 on Thursdays. I got home at about 8, just in time to see Wong's error. In the bottom of the ninth with two strikes on Carpenter, the cable went out. I called Comcast but they all went home for the night.
Comcast has defeated me. It's rare these days for the phone, cable and internet to all be working at the same time. My other option is Verizon, but Verizon doesn't carry the Pac 12 Network, which means I won't be able to watch half of ASU's football games and most of their men's basketball games.

Have you tried throwing a raging fit and calling them cocksuckers?

That was my strategy until a couple of months ago. But yelling and swearing at them doesn't help. They just don't care. So now I just try to be calm and explain whatever today's problem is without any emotion. About a half-dozen calls ago, I ended up with a woman who told me that life is too short to get upset. I'm sure it was sarcasm, because I undoubtedly have a mark next to my name as an unfriendly. 
The first dozen years or so we had Comcast, we almost never had any problems. Our issues started once they switched to that supposedly superior "X1 Platform" about five years ago. It's been nothing but trouble. As I wrote earlier, there's almost no day that goes by without some interruption of phone, internet or cable service. And if you tell them their X1 Platform sucks, they seem astonished.

I recently had to play the DirecTv, "cancellation dance."  Whatever promotion I had for the past year or so had expired, so my bill went up $50 this month.  I called, told them that I wasn't going to pay the new price and wanted to cancel.  They promptly offered my a new promotion that reduces my bill by $60/month and threw in a free year of the NHL package.

Yeah, I have a friend who does that. He orders Verizon for the minimum period, which I think is two years, and when the introductory rate ends, he switches back to Comcast, and so forth. 
Sheryl's best friend works for Comcast, and we used to get a $99/month rate for family members, but at some point they figured out we weren't technically "family" and now we pay the full fare. 
My other concern is how canceling Comcast will impact my subscription to the Extra Innings package. I don't want to have to pay more to Verizon after I've already paid Comcast.
