A question to the reader: If your team’s home opener was postponed– one of just two games in April for which fireworks are slated–and you bought tickets for the makeup double header the next day, would you not expect the previously scheduled fireworks to happen at the conclusion of the rescheduled night game?

Ode to A. Cora
Two and a half games out of a playoff spot is not an awful spot to be in at the beginning of August. (Post-publication note: .5 games out. Screw you Bobby Witt.)
