Go Redbirds! Let’s win Rom.
#EVERYBODY GET IN HERE!!!
#ROM IS ABOUT TO EMULATE THESE PIRATES!!!
Sigh. Go Cards. But I am ready to be disappointed by the Blues as a change of pace.
This could be a critical series for determining 4th place in the division.
Drew Rom: cannot be modified
We’re gonna learn a lot about Rom today. His stuff has been good enough to strike out minor leaguers at crazy high rates. However, the prospect guys say his fastball won’t fool MLB hitters, which is why he isn’t a top prospect. They said that about Libby and were clearly right, but Rom can prove them wrong.
It would be cooler if his full name was just ROM. All caps.

An original (definitely not ChatGPT generated) poem about Drew Rom:
In realms of thought where dreams take flight,
There walks a soul named Drew Rom, so bright.
With eyes that hold the stars’ embrace,
A heart that beats with steady grace.
Through winding paths and challenges faced,
Drew Rom’s spirit is firmly laced.
A journey woven with courage and might,
Guided by a passion burning, so light.
In every step, a story unfolds,
As Drew Rom’s tale of wonder and goals.
With every sunrise, a new chapter begins,
Filled with aspirations that forever win.
A friend to all, with kindness to share,
Drew Rom’s presence is beyond compare.
A hand held out in times of need,
A steadfast ally in every deed.
Oh, Drew Rom, your name shall soar,
On wings of dreams to places unseen before.
In the tapestry of life, you’re a vibrant thread,
Woven with love, where memories spread.
So let us celebrate this name so true,
Drew Rom, a beacon in skies so blue.
May your journey be filled with joy and glee,
A symphony of life as beautiful as can be.

The battle for bottom of the division!
Love Walker and Winn in the lineup, go Biiiirds (will be hanging out with Beyoncé tonight at the Dome, so rooting for the boys in spirit).
The battle for fourth begins
Why is he saying Twitter instead of X?
First game since 1995 these 2 teams have battled for last place in August. We are all here for it.
