Dusty's semi-retirement, coach Doolittle, Skeezy Dolan, far right extremism, porn ID, and "Happy Days"
An extension for one of the game’s best executives, the Iowa caucuses, Great Moments in Civil Rights, saying goodbye to funny highway signs, The $1 million stereo system and "sleepunders"
Welcome to Cup of Coffee on Beehiiv!
The Yankees sign Stro, Juan Soto sets a record, the Dodgers and Cubs make a trade, a Miracle Met passes, some news about Cup of Coffee's future, Celebrity Bowling, a super-commuter and my lead foot
I'm just farting around to see how this works.
Stroman and the Yankees, Shota's money, the Sunday Night Baseball schedule, dangerous driving, Ohio once again chooses evil, kids are leaving red states for a reason, and dystopian ice
The Cubs get Shota, the Marlins make a notable hire, a Wander Franco update, Ohtani could influence the tax laws, Les Wexner had sex with a trafficked teenager, and God bless January Jones
Random baseball-adjacent things with hacky jokes attached, a Substack/Nazis development, Martin Scorsese, men being weird, OpenAI, and Star Wars at the Golden Globes
The Mets sign a pitcher, there were a rash of trades, a great player-to-be-named-later has retired, and we talk about swearing, a French legal drama, Elon Musk on drugs, and toilet apps
An unexpected extension, a backtracking Bauer, the A’s saying no to the B’s, MLB M&Ms, we have met the enemy and he is us, and logging on to the internet via . . . Compuserve
The Padres get a reliever, the Jays insist they weren't Ohtani leverage, a call for common sense gambling regulation, fun with the Jeffrey Epstein documents, Nature Boy crypto, weirdos, and movie talk
A slow baseball news day but a whole lot of other stuff, including my ranking of the James discography, my bum knee and flat bum, people's hopes for 2024, and a tough autumn for a great writer.
