Scott Foster is a goddamn hero. Dude stopped a Dustin Byfuglien slapshot.

Exactly. In NOLA they’d likely have practically forced you to join in, which I’m fine with (especially if there’s beer.) This is completely just “Look at us! Look at how much WE LOVE LIFE YAY!”

Um... I don’t want to be a crank, but A-Rod was absolutely crucial to that Series win. Maybe not quite as much in the Series itself as in the ALCS, but still very important to that win.

They’re making me want to boil something - a frog, my own head, a slab of Wagyu beef, something.

I’m tempted to call a moving van right now. 

The HBP/charging the mound one last week (two weeks ago?) was a thing of goddamned beauty.

You haven’t seen the Red Sox pen recently. 

The Islanders are going to finish higher than the Rangers. I can feel it. 

And maybe should have won another one in ‘04, which wasn’t that long ago. 

Merrick Garland. 

Don’t be silly. You can’t get drunk on Yuengling. 

Holy fuck that change. 

I was going to say, what was his FIP during his hot streak? Because I remember a lot of hard contact.

That’s fair. 

Jose Canseco did it in ‘93 or ‘94 throwing knuckleballs at Fenway. 

What is a Luke Voit?

Are you in Pennsylvania? Because holy shit, every third commercial in prime time is for the goddamn Pa Lottery. Keep on scratchin’!

The worst part is, I kinda like the little groundhog mascot, because my soul is damned. But, hell, that just makes it worse: little cutesy CGI groundhog acting all humble, trying to entice…

Yeah, I don’t want this to sound weird or anything, because this is a fucked-up situation no matter what the specifics were, but I got a certain little twinge in my heart when I saw it was the Bohemian Garden. I about lived in that place when I lived in Astoria. (Gained a few pounds, too.)

At least the Pirates have PNC Park. Glorious, wonderful PNC Park.

Lot of quality suffering going on with the Orioles right now.
