Don't stop after beating the swords
into ploughshares, don't stop! Go on beating
and make musical instruments out of them.
Whoever wants to make war again
will have to turn them into ploughshares first.

It took going to a minor league ballpark to remind our guys that they’re major league hitters. We’ll take it, but we need to steady our bats. Yeah, still.

Australia comes to Cleveland, and we manage to claw one back from the Tampa Bay Rays in a very rough week. Our bats need to wake up some more.

Tough loss in Toronto. Bad fielding by the Guards, weak bats, and a number of bases loaded at the end of an inning. Still no thumper behind Jose.

The Astros took the series, and our bats need a wake up call. Our lineup needs an shakeup. Also I still Boo the Astros, and you probably do too.

It’s rough watching your team lose after a grand slam and a near no hitter, but that’s life as a Guards fan. We still won the series!

Dropping two out of three for our last road game before a homestand sucks. Maybe it's time for the Guards to question how aggressive they are on the base paths.

Manzo homered but the Guards finally dropped a series to the only other team who’d yet to drop a series. I hate Atlanta.

I love Murdoch Mysteries. They're so ridiculous.
They have a plot about Canada making Project 1925, which was secretly made by the Russians, and the plan was to take over the US.
They're so funny.
