One’s money where one’s mouth is 195

Blogger Lee Judge says KC’s Wilson Betamit should have “taken one for the team” on an inside slider with the bases loaded. Royals batting coach Kevin Seitzer offers to help Judge understand what that means, exactly. Hilarity ensues (especially when our old pal Jason Kendall mischievously changes the pitching machine from 81 mph to 92). ...

Game 26: Big Iron 57

Written and first performed by the O.G. (original gunfighter) Marty Robbins. So you really gotta keep a twangy 4/4 western/polka beat in your head while reading. Better still, listen to a few bars to get the tune down first, either from one the Marty Robbins renditions on youtube, or from this awesome Mike Ness cover ...

Listen You Mother FKers 58

ML/v0 makes some well-considered observations about the Diridon plan, especially w/r/t parking and economic anchors. However … if ...
