Cardinals won’t make the playoffs, but they should’ve been a 100-loss team and they might end up at .500. That takes ingenuity. Like parallel parking a golf cart while drinking six beers out of a boot. Ingenuity does not show up on the leaderboards. You’re not going to find ingenuity as a category in your […]

Yesterday, Aaron Judge went 0-for-3 as he was activated from the IL. He was slotted right back into right field, which is perhaps the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Only thing dumber might be paying a red-light camera. They can’t make you pay. This is legal advice from a fantasy baseball ‘pert. Call me into […]

Another day, another great Phillies pitcher, eh? I said “eh” like I was drinking a bottle of maple syrup with my pinkie in the air. I hate the “we have to talk about” segue. It sounds like Oprah in my head. “We have to talk about something, you know what we have to talk about […]
