“A moment they’ll never forget” because in like 15 years these kids will be Yankees or Dodgers or Red Sox or Giants and we’ll hear “...and these two are facing each other for the first time since Romero faced Uceta in the 2017 LLWS fifteen years ago”

The thing I didn’t like about 2014 Godzilla was his “buff muscles”. This seems even more exaggerated. Why put human-looking neck muscles on him. Why make him so meaty - I kinda wanna BBQ him.

Hasn’t Jennifer Lawrence broken up a couple marriages co-starring alongside married men? I’m thinking Ben Affleck/Jennifer Garner, but I bet there are way more than that.

When Josh reddick was still in Oakland, his favorite thing to do while shagging batting practice was stand next to one of his two favorite teammates, either Billy Burns, or Marcus Semien, arm around his shoulder, hoping someone would take a picture of their jerseys.

OK, I call bullshit:

I gave almost all teenaged contenders a pass - teens do stupid things by definition, wypipo or not.

Yet another trade deadline article with no mention of Oakland A’s GM David Forst. Here’s some trivia - long time assistnt GM under GM Beane, do you know when Forst became GM, and Beane VP of Operations? No cheating!

Most of us pocket knife carriers wouldn’t want to carry a blade that long; if I need to attack an envelope, I don’t want the mailman thinking I’m gonna shank him.

Yup, egg here too, and not hollowed (...or was it?). I don’t remember if we were paired up, but considering it was Catholic school in the late 80s, I probably did have a partner.
