Literally so, and I do mean “literally.” To the point that I’m seriously wondering if I still have a radio that could pick up a live broadcast of someone else (as you noted, web radio is several seconds behind).

I have to admit it was thoroughly enjoyable listening to him struggle to say anything good about the Yankees last night 😂

Yes. Tailgating in section 28. Hopefully will see you there.

I have to find out where we’re tailgating. I’ll message you.

I didn’t watch any of the playoffs. Am I happy the Royals are good again? Yep. Do I enjoy the all-power streak? Mmmhmp.

Kinda miss Tony Gwynne writing about how John Tudor could almost always snap his bat….

Royals were tough man. Scary team in the near future.

Loved the lesson as I’m not an avid baseball watcher… but now I can watch these guys and hate them too 🤣🤣

I think most baseball fans would agree that Chisholm (overwhelmingly voted by MLB players as most overrated), Soto (with his batter's box routine), and Verdugo (hard to really hate given how he has played this year) would all rank higher on the easy-to-hate meter than any of the Dodgers. It will make for good theater.

Big mistake by me . . . Kopech’s beard should have been on the hate list.

I hate the Yankees but baseball is much more entertaining when they are competitive. After watching the new Netflix documentary about the 2004 Red Sox, I miss that level of hate between the teams.

We need that hatred back!
