So, our dreams of a World Cup championship came to an end in the US. I was super invested for three games. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Belgium putting on such a show that you wouldn’t know their day started with them losing their unis and having to wear the Marlins city connect jerseys. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hope everyone had a fun Fourth of July! I spent it as our forefathers would’ve wanted: Driving around with an oversized sombrero screaming, “The British are coming,” while I had Cougs hoist a portable TV out our Celica’s sunroof, that was playing the World Cup match. Though, our forefathers would’ve wanted us to say a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I really didn’t want to write this post because I don’t think Joshua Baez is going to be promoted imminently, except maybe for a cup of coffee starting in August, which puts him in line for a espresso shot of who cares. The latest thing Cards’ GM Chaim Bloom said was, “He’s got the ceiling […]

“This British author was a part of the World War II Operation Goldeneye, and used some of this experience in his novels.” “Who is Ian Seymour?” The audience howled in laughter when I shot up in bed, soaking wet. My recurring dream of being dumb on Jeopardy! continues. But who is Ian Seymour? Wow, also […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Cubs got three touchdowns yesterday and a safety off the Padres. Speaking of which, our fantasy football content is beginning to start rocking and/or rolling, or maybe that’s rumbling and tumbling. Look at Grey pretending to know anything about football! Stop me if you’ve heard this before Dansby Swanson–stopped. Sorry, that’s it! Don’t say anymore! […]

Before yesterday’s start, I saw someone named Anthony Seigler hitting leadoff for the Red Sox, and I thought to myself, “Self, you green-eyed, handsome devil! Get him off your bench, you have to start Cade Cavalli. The Red Sox are not scary in Fenway with Seigler or whoever else they have.” Then I thought about […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Cameron Cauley (1-for-3, 2 runs) was called up by the Rangers. This past Sunday Itch just gave you his latest Prospect Stash list and had Cauley as the guy he highlighted. That’s impressive, because I had no idea who Cauley was prior, and Itch predicted it 24 hours prior. It’s a cool parlor trick, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Who has the most homers in June? Is it Kyle Schwarber because he’s the King of June? Is it Yordan Alvarez because Captan Woo Cubano is in the running for most homers in any month? Is it Junior Caminero because he has 78 homers in the last week? Is it Pete Crow-Armstrong because he colored […]

I don’t listen to Bill Simmons’s podcast and haven’t read anything by him in 20 years, but Reggie Cleveland All-Stars was a top tier, Everest summit contribution to the discourse. For those unfamiliar, the Reggie Cleveland All-Stars are white guys with a Black name. Blaze Alexander is a Reggie Cleveland All-Star. Blazer Alexander? That’s a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think we’ve come to terms with how good Junior Caminero is. He’s 22 years old and he’s coming off a 45-homer season and has 19 homers already this year, after going 3-for-5, 6 RBIs with his 17th, 18th and 19th home run yesterday. I tried to give him […]

Yesterday Francisco Lindor (0-for-4) was activated from the IL for the 2nd game of the doubleheader. Not going to make a mountain out of this (I am). He’s missed two months. If you’re healthy enough to play in the 2nd game, then you’re healthy enough to play in the 1st game. This might be nothing […]

Mad Libs’ing Brewers starters into the lede. (Brewers pitcher) is (adjective) because the Brewers’ (noun) who (verb) (noun) and (verb) (noun) who can’t be (verb)! Kyle Harrison–No, not today. Brandon Woodruff–Haha, that was yesterday! Brandon Sproat? Yep! Here we go! Mad Libs commence! Brandon Sproat is awesome because the Brewers’ coaches turn pitching mounds into […]
