And I prefer to have Bartolo Colon referred to as OC $5 Beers of SF's Bartolo Colon.


I wonder if Smackie could have guesses that when he posted this 15+ years ago that Big Sexy would still be pitching?

Friend from Cleveland told me they have a bridge that connects east side to west side of Cleveland and it has statues on them called The Guardians.  I said "so"?  Spiders would've been much better.

Bryce Harper went one for one with two walks today against the Nats and ended the game hitting .297.

Juan Soto went one for one with two walks and ended the game hitting .297.

Assuming he stays healthy, he'll make the average salary of a Japanese citizen every time he plays an inning of baseball .And he doesn't even have to play to get the salary.

No one should text Smackie about this. It’s a trap and will backfire on you.

He is deferring $680 million for a decade ….
This is quite common. I have at least fifteen times that much deferred, just of railroad credits alone.
