The Lava Lamp is lit. I’m feeling groovy. Dallas ran down the list of the pitchers contending for the starting rotation on Monday and Scott covered the Outfield yesterday. It was epic.

I used to have this friend I did standup with named Nick Spears. He was a big guy, big beard and he was probably the happiest guy you’d ever meet, and he loved everyone and everything. The only thing he didn’t love was cancer. He actually used to do fundraisers for a group called “F*ck […]
