Baseball and Whatever

Episode 25 of Baseball and Whatever is here! This week Greg names his playoff pitching roster for the White Sox, Justin explains his deep hatred for the Dodgers, and Vinnie describes the stupidity of the Brewers pitcher that punched a wall…right before the playoffs.

For our second half we have our first ever “fantasy draft.” This time we are building our own office based on characters from the tv show, The Office. Each of our “offices” must have the 1 corporate job, 1 office manager, 2 sales people, 1 receptionist, 2 “flex” jobs, 1 accountant, and 1 warehouse person. Head on over to Twitter @BaseballAndWhat and vote for which of us had the best draft! During all this we recount our favorite scenes, episodes, and memorable quotes from the series.

Greg’s back with a new mini series entitled, “Blast from the Past” where he’ll be looking back at former baseball matchups and lineups from back in the day. Today he’ll be recounting the starting lineups from 23 years ago today to see how both the Cubs and White Sox were doing back in 1998. He’ll read through lineups, discuss players, and more! Check it out if you’re feeling nostalgic for that late 90’s goodness!

Baseball and Whatever is back again with Episode 24. This week Greg breaks down the White Sox clinching the AL Division. He’s a little psyched about it, to say the least.

This week they discuss whether or not Dallas Keuchal should be on the White Sox playoff roster, Patrick Wisdom’s historic rookie season for the Cubs, and lastly they break down the disaster that has been the New York Mets over the past 2 weeks. Mets fans, what is going on with your organization!?

For our “whatever” segment, Justin draws 5 random Seinfeld episodes from a hat and they try to rank them in order leading up to their favorite. Plenty of quotes, impressions and more with this segment. It left us laughing a ton thinking about Frank Costanza.

Holy cow we’ve made it to episode 20! We have a super-loaded show for you this week. We start off with our regular baseball talk by breaking down the “discussion” that Seby Zavala had with Tony La Russa after a recent mishap. Was he right to discipline a player in the dugout or should it have been done away from cameras? The guys also discuss the Cubs current progress, and also announce their unofficial official minor league baseball team, the Carolina Disco Turkeys! Our second segment has us breaking down our top 5 Disney animated movies with Jeff from the Disney on the Rocks podcast. It was a blast to rediscover a bunch of great Disney movies from the past. We even try to stump ourselves by eliminating Pixar movies to make it tough! Check it out for deep dives on everything from Princess and the Frog, Wreck it Ralph, and Aladdin!

Greg’s Baseball Trivia Game - Who is this? 

Hello again everyone! We have an excellent interview for your listening pleasure. If you grew up in or around Chicago like Justin and Greg, then you've probably heard about the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. The lasting effects and architecture of the event can still be seen to this day! We were lucky enough to have the author of "1893 Chicago’s Columbian Exposition: Arts and Culture on the Doorstep of the 20th Century," Michael Finney. Michael also produced a documentary on the same topic titled 1893 Chicago’s Columbian Exposition Documentary. We dive into a variety of topics including exhibits, construction, H.H. Holmes, and Michael's overall research. Give it a listen. You'll learn quite a bit!
