Trainspotting yesterday was begun by my apprentice trainspotter, Mary, and finished by me.
At 9:32 a.m., Mary sprang to the WW to espy the southbound run of the MMRR train as it passed by on the RSTL. That spot didn't take long, as all that she spotted were MMRR EMD GP 38-2 locomotives 2057 and 2019 sans cars.
At 2:40 p.m., I spotted those same locomotives heading north towing six CHCs, 22 DBTCs, and four DWTCs.
The Cubs, as I feared, fell to that other team from Chicago 1 - 3 yesterday afternoon. That gives the 2nd place in the NL Central Cubs a 51 - 47 record. They meet that same team tomorrow @ 2:20 p.m.
The Tigers lost in 11 innings to the Royals, 3 - 5. The 45 - 54 in the AL Central Tigers are still in 4th place and listening to offers for the services of Justin Verlander. With his age and a big contract that has a no-trade clause, it will be a tough sell. JV did pitch well before the Tigers relief corps caved in and the rest is history.
My beloved Red Sox started after 10:00 p.m. on the West Coast last night, so I have can only report the results so far. The Sox are down 0 - 3 in the 4th. The Sox and the Mariners play again today @ 10:10 p.m. As of now, the Sox are still in 1st place in the AL East, but they are looking very vulnerable with a record of 55 - 45.
The 1st place in the MWL East West Michigan White Caps fell to the Beloit Snappers by a score of 2 - 4 yesterday. The Caps remain atop the division with an overall record of 21 - 8 and have the day off before they host the 2nd place TinCaps on Wednesday night @ 7:00 p.m.
I nearly forgot. I stopped by the library to get the final initials on my card for the library's Beachcomber's Book Bingo and receive my swag for my efforts. Here is a picture of my mat. When fully open, it is approximately three feet wide by six feet long.
We made all of our appointments yesterday. Today, Mary will continue indexing on the catalog and we'll take the morning safari before I water the vast lawns of the PE. I will continue to read and play with the girls too.
We have a current temperature of 65° under clear skies. Today's high is forecast to reach 78° with a 10% chance of precipitation. The next real chance for rain is Thursday morning. The sun will rise today @ 6:28 a.m. and set @ 9:13 p.m. If there is anything else to report, I don't care. Ciao.
