Wednesday Morning Links

So, this morning at 9:00 a.m. I will be painting pictures of Animal Hope dogs and cats with Roughriders Vice President of Community Development Breon Dennis and Frisco manager Joe Mikulik.  Check out the livestream.  I was going to make a joke about ejecting him from the livestream but, frankly, no I'm not going to even joke about that.  I appreciate the Roughriders organization for being good sports and coming down to the shelter.

Speaking of situations more volatile than sweaty dynamite, Mike Scioscia isn't happy because he think Keone Kela threw at Andrelton Simmons' head.

The Rangers came from behind to secure another one run win last night, which probably didn't do much to brighten Scioscia's mood.

"I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and, by gum, it put them on the map!"

Jeff Banister has got an itch and the only ointment is Carlos Gomez.

Like obscenity, MLB knows a lodged ball when it sees it.

Jeff Banister would like to see a full season of above replacement play from Derek Holland. (My hypothesized answer to the headline's paywalled question)

Rick Gosselin says we're not in the "it's just a little airborne, it's still good, it's still good" stage of pitching worry but that we're definitely approaching it.

To be honest, I'm about ready for some blowouts.

The Rangers have the bullpen to thank for last night's win.
