Hi Chuck, Listening to this now on You Tube but I had to make a comment about Arte. It's so sad how Arte wanted to be loved and how things have changed so much because of the state of the team.

 

[Torridd]

And here we are. LOL!

@Ariamus is asking what album covers you had displayed last night, @Spirit?

As always, I tried to tie it to a theme.  And last night's theme was AZ/Tempe/Spring Training.  Here's a more blown up shot, for those that want to investigate ...

If no one guesses, I'll give the album titles this afternoon.

I'll guess Barry Manilow and Marie Osmond.

[Chuck]

Someone on X got it. 

 

[Spirit]

That's it! 

"Desert Moon" and "Crazy From The Heat"

Two appropriate titles for Chuck's Arizona trip

NGL, I'm a little unhappy that Frampton Comes Alive isn't there each and every week, Spirit.

Every year, I get ripped on for being among the most optimistic fans on this board. This year I'm pessimistic. But the team is doing well.

I don't think the lack of Ohtani's distraction is really that big of a deal, in contrast to what Spirit (Geoff) says...but I do think Ron Washington and company, is making a big deal to this young core.

To be clear, I don't think it's the Ohtani distraction by itself.  I think it's a combination of many factors: the lack of an Ohtani distraction, the Ron Washington effect, the energy of the youth movement, etc.  I think all those ingredients are going into this stew that "could" result in a pretty special season.  I'm not fully there yet, but I'm trending that way.
