    My high school biology teacher (and baseball card avatar here) George "Red" Witt pitched in relief in a couple of the Yankee blow out wins in this series. He also pitched for the 1962 Los Angeles Angels before calling it a day and going into teaching.

    Just wait until he loads the bases and AO calls him Helen.

    Yea, he’s trash. He started off great last year and it was looking like he legitimately figured something out. But then he Martin Perez’d it.

    It was actually before that when their long time moderator passed away but yeah ...  at least it had a group of regulars and constant conversations.

    The way he was fumbling through his papers barely able to hold the mic resembled some sort of Mr. Magoo on xanax.

    And "Lam" Jones won a gold medal (4 X 100 relay) at the '76 Olympic games before he even enrolled at UT.   Imagine accomplishing that by the age of 18 and then being told by some football coach, "hey, we have to give you this nickname so we don't confuse you with this other guy,"

    what about his UT teammates, running backs A.J. “Jam” Jones and Johnny “Ham” Jones (from HAMlin, Texas)?

    Yellow Balloon reacted to T.G. in Dylan Bundy to the Angels for Isaac Mattson, Zach Peek, Kyle Bradish, and Kyle Brnovich   
    You know, this guy must be pretty good... He pitched in Houston on June 9 and only gave up 2 ER in 6 innings.  He took the loss, but given that they probably knew which pitches were coming - he did pretty darn good. 
  15. Thank You

    The harshest punishment would be making them re-re-name the stadium Enron Field. 
    Then forcing them to remove the roof, so everyone can enjoy that humid, refinery-reeking, mosquito-infested swamp called Houston.

    Not to nitpick but lulz at Keith Law for not knowing who T-Rex , R.E.M., and Quiet Riot are.  And for getting at least two of the titles wrong.
