MLB 2022 Season: Houston Warship: Go Phuck Yourselves

While it was totally obvious that Bobby Witt Jr. was gonna get called up to the Royals, I'm still mildly annoyed at it, 'cause it means my dad and I won't be able to see him play down here anymore. He's my dad's favorite player.

 

Yuuuuup! The moment I read that description (I hadn't even heard about the proposal until now), I knew that this isn't the failsafe solution they're trying to sell it as.

 

Albert Pujols files for divorce a few days after his wife had brain surgery. A statement released by his agent reads:

“I've been asked a lot of questions over the past few days regarding what's been going on at home and sadly, after 22 years of marriage, I have made the decision to file for divorce from my wife, Deidre. I realize this is not the most opportune time with Opening Day approaching and other family events that have recently taken place. These situations are never easy and isn't something that just happened overnight. As a devout Christian, this is an outcome that I never wanted to see happen. For many long days and nights, I prayed, asking the Lord for His guidance. I am thankful for the five beautiful children that we brought into this world and remain committed to raising them in a loving and safe environment. I ask that you please respect our privacy and the privacy of our five children during this time.”

 

Naturally.

 

But he acknowledges the timing is bad.... because of Opening Day.

 

I’m finding it hard to care this year.

 

Red Sox-Yankees, Twins-Mariners already postponed.

 

Weather or COVID?

EDIT: Weather is the culprit. You had me confused because you have the Mariners listed as the home team.

 

Pending a physical, Ke'Bryan Hayes gets an eight-year, $70 million deal with the Pirates, with a club option for a ninth season. It's the biggest contract in Pirates history.

 

He will be dealt within a couple of years.

 

I went to my first Savannah Bananas game this evening (going again tomorrow with a friend). It's not a normal game of baseball but much more like the Harlem Globetrotters. Plenty of real baseball play but also with a lot of rule changes to make the game go faster and more crazy. No bunting, no mound visits, no stepping out of the batter's box, no walks (instead the fielders have to throw to each other as fast as possible while the runner goes as far as they can). Between the looser play and the sidebar wild antics of the players and nonplayers on the field, it's just a few steps away from Blernsball itself.

Oh, and retired Red Sox reliever Bill "Spaceman" Lee pitched an inning for the Bananas. HIs first pitch? First (and only) homer of the game.

 

^ You mean BILL Lee?

 

Yes, I do. I don't why I brainfarted that.

 

Some guy at the Diamondbacks game keeps yelling, "Pitcher's got a big butt." Is that what counts for ballpark wit these days?

 

Must be a fan of Rookie of the Year.
