Have we ever debated this or have I just said I’d gladly take him back? And my how in the heavens did you ever survive such a meh season where he had a whole 6 blown saves and put up more fWAR than all but 8 relievers in the league and was the 3rd most valuable pitcher on the Mets? Also he...

Nah, just one bad season.

I’m still waiting for you to drive him to the airport and send him back to Seattle. He’s looking like he did in 2018. When he’s on, he’s one of the best.

Maybe the war made it a little longer, but vinyl pressing has had extremely long wait times since the beginning of covid. I remember looking into small batch vinyl when I was gearing up to put my record out a few months prior to its release in December 2020 and wound up deciding against it...

This is exactly why no one should give a shit that people in Seattle and San Diego call our season series the Vedder Cup.

Blame a bunch of sportswriters from like 25 years ago. And all the ones who continue it. And will continue it. It’s the only thing Seattle and San Diego can fight over since it’s a stupidly forced rivalry.

Nah.

That’s been what we’ve called it on lookoutlanding dating back to like 15 years ago when Jeff Sullivan ran the site before Fangraphs and then the Rays lured him away. Also, The Athletic calls it that, urban dictionary has an entry about it, pitcherlist, there’s a Twitter account based around...

Mariners and Padres.

I’m obviously team Vedder Cup.

I’d rather be a Nationals fan today than a fan of the Los Angeles Brandon Woods Of Anaheim.

Yay! Glad at least one person on here digs it! Thanks for listening!

Oof. I had it. It hit hard. I tested positive on the 8th and I was barely out of bed until the 15th. Thankfully I quarantined in our master suite and mrs. tourist was excellent at cleaning surfaces so no one else in the family caught it. By about the 18th I felt fairly normal again. Now all...

I’m back in a Cure phase. I haven’t really left it for long in… about the last 4 years. Keep coming back to it. Also, in personal news, I have a single coming out on Saturday on all the streaming platforms. It’s a song about hope that I wrote in early 2016. And I felt like I had to shelve it...
