(It's also a puzzle.) RIYank: Diane, is Kuroda's injury serious? Any broken bones? DF: We say bruises. RIY: We? Bruises? Why the plurals? Just one, right? DF: Yes, was bruise. RIY: What are you doing for a living these days, Diane? DF: I bury seesaws. RIY: Really? That doesn't sound lucrative. Who do you sell them to? DF: Wise-ass buyers. RIY: Oh, makes sense. How do you get the asses interested? DF: We issue brays. RIY: Right, right. All those donkeys -- must be Democrats, huh? DF: Issues, be wary! RIY: Okay, no politics. And what's on your schedule for the weekend? DF: ... (Unfortunately I could not quite catch Diane's reply to my last question.) Happy Birthday, Diane! Here is my (fake) interview with Diane.

And I think she stops by to read on occasion but doesn't comment much. But she's still one of us, and we love her and wish her a heppy birfday. 7) She’s still around but is too busy with her own site to contribute here these days.

And Happy Birthday to Diane. Through the link on her blog I found out that I share a birthday with Matt Holliday, Bobby Grich, Delino DeShields, and one of my favorite names ever in baseball, Rance Mulliniks. I always believed that some type of spiritual connection with Rance existed... [8] Thanks for the link. And Happy Birthday to Diane.

Good for him. Only the 10th combined no-no in history the Ms announcer said. Too bad they have the classic Mariners AAAA lineup again this year. [3] Jesus was really stoked at the end. Good for him.

The call for 3 consecutive homers should be back-to-back and belly-to-belly, because if two guys are standing back to back the next in line would have to be belly-to-belly with one of the other guys.
