Secret infield drills, owner delusions, losing Buster, losing a top prospect, a delayed retirement announcement, A-Rod the Scribe, Dylan, Hunter S. Thompson, sad teens, Richard Belzer and new Isbell
A hero manager, a tone-deaf owner, an idiot pitcher spouting off, a minor leaguer coming out, a new committee, Machado’s choice, McGriff and Rolen pick their plaque caps, and I talk about Denver
McCarver enters Valhalla, it's anti-vax time in baseball again, Corbin Burnes is not happy with the Brewers, and we talk black pudding, GOP "moderation," Bill Watterson's return, and Minnesota weed
MLB's impending RSN disaster, Jacob deGrom is back on schedule, the Yankees are already down a starter, the impending balk-a-thon, NYT's anti-trans bias, Les Wexner, gun nuts, and Raquel Welch
Big bases, a pitcher signing, more taxpayer dollars for a ballpark, doing retirement right, a local hall of fame, trains, guns, sweet tea, whiskey with a beer back, and aliens
An exec extension, a rundown of all the new rules, the death of a team owner, a venerable spring training cliche, the end of my hiking trip, a Pappy Van Winkle scam and a guest post.
Jeter on TV, an extension to a budding ace, Yasiel Puig faces more charges, and I spend a lot of time talking about my California hiking
A big extension, California hiking, the Facebook algorithm, the limitations of the free market, “a tower full of pigs,” and Burt Bacharach.
An arbitration buyout, a new bandbox, Arte's pipe dream, a new MLBPA logo, an odious Florida book-banning, Joe West's retirement, the Birds, a Dystopia Watch entry, Hopper, Charlie Cale, and Columbo
A bit of a programming note today, I'm afraid
The Angelos lawsuit ends, Steve Cohen gets its, the Rays don't REALLY want to pay their way, a 1984 brawl, sports: a homophobia safe zone, Man City, movie$, Melinda Dillion, and digital cameras
An honor for Fernando, a contract extension, Alex Cora's loose lips, Carlos Beltrán gets a new gig, the balloon, running amok in Astoria, Nighthawks and Automats, and keeping mum about death
