Christian Scott will be called up to start on Thursday, as the Mets moved on from a man D. Peterson. Welp, can’t buy me love. I’d like a refresher cocktail, if you don’t mind. I said when he was called up for the first time on May 2nd, 2024, “Mets are promoting Christian Scott to […]

Edwin Diaz went to the IL with loose bodies in his elbow, i.e., David Caruso flipped his sunglasses down and said, “More like Ed-lose 12 weeks.” He’ll undergo a procedure to remove the loose bodies (have you tried a stern taking to about the pitfalls of being loose?) and could return by July/August. Timetables vary […]

Mike’s fine in most cases, but you know Michael King (5 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 4 BBs, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.28) was like, “It’s Mike.” Then he paused for five seconds for the person to know when he started again it was going to be his last name. Finally, he continued, “King.” Then […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Mariners gave Colt Emerson $95 million. Now the first thing you might think is, how long can he stay in the minors if they’re paying him that much? That was the 2nd thing I thought. The first thing I thought was, what is his life like in the minors with that much money? Is […]

You know the GIF of Antonio Banderas from Assassins where he’s leaning back, exhaling and loving life? If you don’t know, don’t google it, because it’ll live in your head like mine and pop up every time you have a pleasurable moment. I now live in GIFs. Something good? Antonio nodding in joyous rapture. Something […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sal Stewart (2-for-4, 6 RBIs and his 6th and 7th homer, hitting .323) is the first time in the history of the Reds that I’ve liked a hitter coming into the year and he’s actually performed well. Matt McLain? More like Matt McLame (wiped out his whole family with that one). TJ Friedl? More like […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Reid Detmers (7 IP, 0 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 3.18) pitched a gem vs. the Yanks. One small aside. One tiny note on that. One teensy, weensy assist that he received from Aaron Boone betting against the Yankees on Polymarket. I mean, I can only guess, since he benched […]

You ever not roster a guy who gets hit super hard and go on a schadenfreude journey around all your fantasy leagues searching for who rosters a certain guy or are you normal? Yesterday, I saw Garrett Crochet went 1 2/3 IP, 10 ER, ERA at 7.58, and I went league hopping. “Ooh, he has […]

I should probably listen to the last three months of our Cards & Categories podcast with Jeremy and Mike and their Noah Schultz content to get a better handle here. [does just that] Wow, I should’ve paused at some point, I really have to pee. So, the boys loved Noah Schultz a lot. This is […]

On phone, “War Room, hello? How is your vacation going after draft season? You’re in Turks? Wow, very cool! Must be lovely there. I heard their beaches are beautiful. You heard that too, but your travel agent was actually using a shortened nickname for Turkey? Oh, well, I’m sure that’s nice too. You actually thought […]

He handed the compact disc to his son and said, […]

I drafted MacKenzie Gore year after year. You could tell because the seasons changed like in Notting Hill after she leaves him. The only difference is MacKenzie Gore didn’t stand in front of me in the preseason and say, “I’m just a boy standing in front of handsome man asking him to draft me again.” […]
