  1. Greg McMuffin
  2. I'm gonna risk it all, Alex, and say that's Mike Remlinger in the Braves cap
  3. Trot Nixon is the Bosock ( the white one)
  4. Adrian Gonzalez
  5. Howie Rose calls it: Brosseau! Brosseau! Brosseau!
  6. Intense and slow moving game.
  7. This is one reason why they ought to be developing the hell out of Rosie as a CF. You need a lot of faith to believe he'll hit well enough, consistently enough, but at least he showed he's capable of hitting like a CF. Defense all morning, hitting all afternoon. That's Dr. Lunchensteins prescription
  8. Rosie had a dreadful year and still hasn't shaven his terrible beard
  9. I hear Yoenis Cespedes is a free agent too. No, seriously, Springer is a guy. Realmuto is a guy. I always say this but remember Ozuna best as an overmatched young guy who now looks like a good but rapidly fattening old guy now. Plus he can't field. We should seriously see if Rosie can play center field this winter.
  10. I mean that was the thing Seaver said was the last straw, I'm pretty sure he would have been traded anyway
  11. What a great story--and another great idea for a series I wanna punch myself for not thinking up sooner.
  12. I feel terrible about seeing my Schaefer Perfect Attendance aspirations disintegrate over the last few weeks of the year. We ought to make Schafering a requirement of membership here.
  13. Dear Typewriter Chewing Gum, Will there be a Diet Coke subset? Signed, Johnny Fuckerfaster
  14. That can't possibly be Hansel Robles
  15. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1980/09/22/distancehttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1980/09/22/distance This is a great GREAT baseball article
  16. Yeah it takes some bravery to come out as strong as Lupica did in the moment, and the record shows he got a lot of this take right, including Torres managing career. Come out firing and being dead wrong, like Dick Young often did, is far easier it seems.
  17. None of us really know which is why a biography to me sounds more interesting than I would suspect an autobiography will be. That said, you're right they might both be boring
  18. He's still so darn wholesome and polite and comes off only so real. I think DiComo is very good at what he does but my expectation going in is that I'm gonna learn less about David Wright than there is, if there is more, in this book than I want there to be. Might also come to nothing, but a weapons-grade investigative journalist doing deep research on the "real" David Wright makes for a more interesting book premise, to my imagination
  19. That's really funny. I wanted to say "Mike Judge" so I just said "Who is Judge" too
  20. Same slide-ruling loser eggheads probably swept the "Calculating Playoff Possibilities" category. Signed, Howie Rose
  21. Lefty Specialist wrote: Went there drunk with friends once, and only once. Skinned my elbow on something but was otherwise undamaged. But I swore I'd never go again. There was a lot of "Whatsamatter, you CHICKEN????' going on. Yup. my experience precisely, only I wasn;t drunk.
  22. I've often been tempted to become an Athletic Supporter but resisted. I figure if its really important the locals will have it, and I don't read anything free or otherwise about the NFL, NBA, College Sports, Olympics, pro soccer etc. I wonder if they'd give me the hockey-MLB package at a 60% discount
  23. This McKenzie kid for Cleveland has got it going on. About 8 feet tall, afro, 160 pounds, half-unbuttoned jersey top, tiny mitt, over the top delivery
  24. Howie imo ought not be aggressively and knowingly old-school AND sensitive to critics at the same time. That said, the original tweet-ee is the one who failed to fully comprehend Howie's schtick. I'm sure irl Howie is capable of comprehending, he just doesn't like it
  25. Who is this shit announcer on the MFY game. I'm doing a better job calling this game in my head
