Ronald Acuña Jr. went down in a heap, seemed almost clearly because of his knee, and, at that point, one person in each fantasy baseball league, who was lucky to have the number one pick in their league spoke to the clouds, asking the Fantasy Baseball Overlord, “Why do you smite me?

Junior Caminero sounds like a store you take your little one to when he wants to dress like a little cowboy. “Jorge, you be daddy’s best boy and I will dress you like a vaquero.” [sees a family of vaqueros walking through the Glendale Galleria] Me, a very Anglo, says to the camera, “I know […]

It’s not a great sign when you have one moment every month where it seems like you’ve finally woken up, then immediately go back to sleep. Could Nick Castellanos (2-for-4 and his 5th homer, hitting .206), the Greek God of Hard Contact be at his mother’s diner being served toast? Is no longer a gyro […]

I started both Freddy Peralta (7 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.81) and Jesus Luzardo (8 IP, 0 ER, 3 hits, zero walks, 4 Ks, ERA at 4.14), then I prayed. Not to any ordinary God, of course. I prayed to the Fantasy Baseball Overlord, and he said, “I’m currently away […]

Superlatives, friends, are floating away, just out of our grasp, but let’s try. Precede with accolades: Ranger Suarez (7 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 1.36) moved his record to 9-0. He’s the 4th pitcher in the Live Ball Era with nine wins through his first 10 starts, and an ERA of […]

Hey, wow, this is cool, so I’m at Canal Street in New York, right? And there’s this guy set up on a cardboard box with three cards face down. Two jokers and one ace, and on the other side of the cards is Alek Manoah‘s baseball card, and Alek Manoah is the one dealing the […]

Juan Soto was sent to the Padres for MacKenzie Gore, C.J. Abrams, Robert Hassell III, James Wood and Jarlin Susana.

This is from the Wikipedia entry for former Brewers’ manager, Harvey Kuenn: That made me howl. “Otherwise respectable” is so funny there. “Kuenn was fired as manager with an otherwise respectable 87-75 record in 1983. Make sure you put in ‘otherwise respectable.’” That’s the Ghost of Harvey Kuenn dictating to a Wikipedia editor, who he […]
