In the Bible, Jacob was a monumental figure. He wrestled with an angel and was eventually given the name Israel. He is referred to as a Hebrew patriarch of the Abrahamic religions. Jacob Lopez of the Athletics is on the opposite end of the spectrum. He was selected in the 26th round of the 2018 […]

I’m an old. I grew up when you couldn’t talk on the phone and be on the internet at the same time. But I’m not that much of an old to have partaken in a Burger Chef meal. I was a McDonald’s kid when the stores still counted the number of people served on the […]

Most things hot are highly sought after but have tons of risk attached to them. Fire: provides warmth and heat to purify water while eradicating bacteria in meat. But it can melt skin and reduce one to the bone. Hot sauce: provides kick for the palate. But it often induces leg cramps from sacrificing to […]

The similarities between Ernie Clement of the Toronto Blue Jays and Hall of Famer Robert Clemente are striking. Both are listed at 5′ 11″ and weigh in the 170-pound range. Both were right-handed batters. Both didn’t exhibit robust power early on, but have never had a strikeout rate close to 20%. Both….Ok, I’ll stop now. To […]

Back in 1563, John Foxe wrote the phrase “jack-in-the-box” to describe a swindler who would cheat tradesmen by selling them empty boxes. First of all, I’m not trusting anyone from the 1500s. Secondly, I’m sure as hell not getting behind anything written or said by someone named Foxe. You think I’m crazy? In 2025, if […]

Jar Jar Binks is one of the most hated characters in the Star Wars universe. And for good reasons. The voice was annoying. The words that surfed on the voice collided to produce buffoonery. His role as comedic element and usher for the young crowd was water on oil for The Phantom Menace. Addison Barger of […]

Most people operate better in their home environment due to comfort and familiarity. I work from home, so the setup of my computer is key. When I travel, the discombobulation is at epic levels. Baseball players are known to be creatures of habit, or members of the Church of Superstition. They are the same. One […]

After three hours of driving and seeing a lot of nothing for the last two, I saw it in the distance. The lights twinkled, exposing an oasis to a thirsty traveler. This is how the crewmen on the Santa Maria must’ve felt when they first saw the New World. Land ho!!! As the lights got […]

In my younger days – yes, I’m an old fart, although I don’t yell “get off my lawn.” I just turn on the sprinklers – I’d get aggro over so many things. Someone cuts me off? I’d Bruce Banner my way into D-Fens. Player strikes out with the bases loaded? See remote here? SMASH! Remote […]

There are many reasons why I wanted to write up Will Benson this week. For starters, he’s been on an absolute heater over the last nine games, smashing six home runs in the last five contests. He also reminds me of NYC, particularly Brooklyn. My wife grew up in Bay Ridge, and Bensonhurst is a smidge […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When I think of slumber, Sleeping Beauty always comes to mind. Serenity. Soothing sounds. Then the logos of Simmons, Sealy, and Serta start bouncing around in my head like the old-school DVD screensavers. When I shake my head to get rid of it, the voice of Larry from Sit ‘n Sleep echoes like Chinese water […]

Javier Baez has been on a heater lately. And I have streamed him and utilized him in DFS contests. Do I feel dirty? Absolutely, but I got no shame in my game. I knew that I was going to write him up for this week’s OMT, especially because I knew there were plenty of dirty […]
