Did you see the Athletic article about it?

University admins literally run institutions full of experts in every subject and not only do they never consult them, they go out of their way to insult that expertise while following the world's most deliberately stupid consultants. Every time. It's a death cult.

Between Jeter Martinez and the minor leaguer named Ichiro Cano Hernandez, we can have most of a mid-2000's AL all-star team lineup in just two players.

Can't help but spend the rest of the night thinking about a very big Ryne Sandberg fan that I know.

Farewell, Mr. Sandberg.

It's not only important to Remember Some Guys, but also to Remember Some Pets. Like Torty Craig.

Good.

I'm going to doece myself to look at the positive: At least the Cardinals didn't get no-hit in Colorado.

Nice. I just started collecting Langston cards as a present for someone and I hadn't seen that one yet.

"The unusually large number of bubble teams this summer has created the conditions for more potential awkwardness."
I swear we've heard this every year since the Aug 31 waiver deal deadline ended.
Is it unusually large this year? What are the numbers compared to this point in previous years?

in 2010 scientists who sequenced ozzy's DNA discovered he was literally a drug-doing super mutant and i think thats beautiful

Kimmel's on vacation away from his show for the summer, I think.

Rich Hill is the Edwin Jackson of all Jamie Moyers.

Let's just toss some catchers out there:

Brian Harper
Ozzie Virgil
Matt Nokes
Dann Bilardello
Rich Gedman
Mike Heath
Charles Johnson
Jose Molina

It should start there and then a slow dissolve into the opening scene of One Trick Pony, then just the rest of that movie. Come for a bio-pic, get hoodwinked into a re-release.
