That’s Grrrrrrrreat!

Joe West vs. Paul LoDuca.  Can we just let the meteor win?

Don Jr. Jr.?

At least we won’t have to hear any more about how “likable” a team starring Chapman and Brett Gardner is.

The final pitch was way too close for Sanchez to argue as much as he did, even if we ignore everything else that happened in that AB. Probably a ball but not exactly shocking it was called a strike.

New corporate naming partner: Spirit Airlines Arena.

This week I’ve somehow been sympathetic to Nickelback, Ted Cruz, and the Cardinals.  I think that means the world ends tomorrow.

Of course it’s racist, but even more than that it’s annoying.  I have to mute every Atlanta home game as if it were being called by Chris Berman & Harold Reynolds.

Has anyone here ever seen Emmert and Newt Gingrich in the same room together?

and isn’t he like 50 years old by now?

I learned that from WYTS about 5 years ago.
