I might have to make an executive decision and not feature anymore pitchers vs. the Rockies. It’s similar to how I don’t feature hitting performances when they’re in Coors. So, we’ll make a blood pact. If a guy pitches well, and it’s vs. the Rockies, then some ground rules for it to be a lede: […]

Janson Junk? Call Sanford & Son because I accidentally threw away the wrong Junk! To the tune of any folk song, “Take this Bibee off my hands and give me that Junk. Enjoy this Pfaadt one, I’ll take the Junky one. Please let my pain Cease and take Dylan. I’ll take your Junk.” Spoken word […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Before the season, I took my Brandon Woodruff expectations out behind the barn, administered them their Last Rites, then I put them down. Went inside and gathered Ma and Baby Jethro and told them there won’t be anymore Brandon Woodruff expectations around these parts anymore. Baby Jethro cried in my arms and Ma said, “Brandon […]

The singular of fireworks is firework, but sounds weird. A professional wrestler who pretends to be a fireman for his character. That’s a firework. Speaking of firemen, Happy 4th of July or as firemen call it, “Why did you put a Roman Candle in your butt and aim it at your house? Dumb move, especially […]

Yesterday was the day of doubleheaders and no one had a bigger doubleheader…Damn it, Darren Aronofsky, all I can think about is Jennifer Connelly in Requiem for a Dream! Seriously, he ruined me for not only any mention of doubleheaders but I just hear the word “double” and I start to think I know where […]

Some days are “No offense” type days and yesterday felt like one of those days. Maybe it was the rain across the Eastern seaboard, he said like an old wily ship’s captain. Maybe it was something else in the air. Farts? Who knows, but better yet, who cares! Yesterday, EdCab showed why you should delete […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Another day, another insane Phillies’ starter goes HAM, not as in Taylor or cured honey, but as in HARD AS A MOTHERFUDGER. Only he didn’t say fudger, he said the mother of all curses, and he thought, “If it’s Hard As A, wouldn’t it be HAAM? Then it’s basically HAIM and it’s the best singing […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Once a generation a pitcher comes along that is extraordinary. Extra plus ordinary. It’s not often we get to witness it with our own eyes. Previous generations, some of those pitchers were Max Scherzer, Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, Nolan Ryan, then before I was born, so I don’t know. Too old for me! I’m a […]

“If you mix one part gin with one part speed and one part power and one part average and one part “possibly a Quad-A player,” and one part good contact and one part–How many parts is that?” Excuse me, I’m asking the bartender, Isaac, how to make an Issac Collins. Turns out I had it […]

Weird thing happened yesterday, everyone threw a great start, but I had written a lede for all of them this year previously. Hate to double up, even though Shane Baz, Hunter Brown, Cristopher Sanchez, and Kevin Gausman were all worthy. So, instead, let’s marvel at Clayton Kershaw (6 IP, 1 ER, 3 baserunners, 5 Ks, […]

Yesterday, Yusei Kikuchi went 7 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 2.82. This start had Streamonator losing its mind over it, predicting a start of 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 8 Ks. Yikes, not even close! Three fewer baserunners! Those two runs ended up unearned! And he had more Ks! […]
