That’d be our man Hiroki. Who is still our man even though he hasn’t had much success this year.
Sorry I haven’t been around much since last week. I was in L.A. for the long weekend and didn’t do the smoothest job of leaving instructions for the rest of the Banter-posting crew. Anyhow, my apologies for the inconsistent posting and thanks to Hank, Will and Jon for holding things down.
I’m back now, tired but happy after a great trip, pleased to be back home with The Wife, eager to watch the game tonight.
Here’s the lineup–minus Tex:
