    Had to google this one. It's not quite as funny after the fact, but my personal embarrassment makes up the difference.

    It's piling on the request by someone in another thread who wanted Geezer to describe his friends who appeared in the Rajneeshpuram documentary. You needed to be familiar with both threads to get why I said that.

    As the saying goes, "if you have to explain it, it ain't funny."

    Then again, sometimes it is even funnier when someone is too stupid to get it!

    The odds of whether or not the Brewers fare well in Philly have improved some since Nola is pitching tonight against CHI.

    Yeah, they dodged a bullet there. But they'll still have to face Arrieta.

    I'm sure that the Yeastie Boys would rather face Arrieta, who they know well, than Nola, who no one really knows yet.

    RIP to the old Redhead, Red Schoendienst, who at 95 had been the oldest living Hall of Famer. Key member of both the 40s-50s era Cardinals and the championship teams of the Milwaukee Braves in the late 50s. Wore the Birds on the Bat for almost 70 years as a player, coach and pennant winning and World Series champion manager of the Cards teams of 67-68. Was a local boy who grew up in the German American heavy area of southern Illinois across the river from StL. Was always a class act and lived a heckuva life. Seeing Stan the Man and Red each Opening Day in their red HOF blazers was always special, and a reminder of an era long gone.

    His imprint on the game of baseball was huge when you consider his role as player, coach and instructor, and manager since the 1940s. Only stopped hitting fungos a few years ago in spring training. Was a teammate of Musial, Aaron and even Mays for a short time. Coached and managed Gibson, Brock, Carlton, Torre, Ozzie, Pujols etc. Coached with Herzog, Torre and LaRussa.

    I did not know he was still alive. Agree one of the greats.

    I saw an ESPN ad tonight that called Judge the best player in Baseball. Time for ESPN to put down the crack pipe and get off the Jankees schlong.

    Seriously. There's Trout and nobody else is close. They actually have an ad making this proclamation?

    It was a promo commercial for tonight's game. They called him the best in MLB, then later made him out to be the best in NY. (Like, no, we didn't really say that.)

    Not commenting on that ad because I didn't see it. But, ESPN has been sucking Red Sox cock forever.

    Welp, this series isn't going as planned. Two thrashings from the Yeastie Boys (still love that), and I'm going to get drenched at today's game. Fun!

    Depending on the outcome, you will leave either soaked, or moist!

    Given the price of beer at Major League ballparks, if he leaves soaked, he'll have been...soaked.

    No gloating here, Scott. Both the Yeasties and the Liberty Bells, have been nothing if not inconsistent so far, and it just happened that Yeastie bats got hot the last 2 days. Your guys could easily win today, or not.

    And both you and I are only just pawns in their games (that would make a great song title, oh wait....).

    Marlins are wearing their throwback unis. I miss the original look. The Miami look is Mickey Mouse. It sucks.

    Well, the Phightin's pulled out a win today, but they tried their hardest to give it away. Braun just kills this team. More importantly, though it rained pretty hard, we avoided getting wet. Win/win.

    Milwaukee impressed me. I hope they can keep it up.

    Agreed. I always liked the teal unis. Their new color scheme and uniform is so garish.
