This week’s baseball boyfriends represent the Seattle Mariners and Colorado Rockies and include an actual smackdown. Pottymouth’s BF Austin Nola will be competing with Patti’s BF, Evan “Beautiful Freak” White, for the Mariner’s starting 1B. Representing the Rockies, Pottymouth selects commercial star and self-proclaimed Momma’s Boy, Ryan McMahon, while Patti goes for former National and longtime good human Ian Desmond.

Moving forward from the tragedy that was the death of Tyler Skaggs, MLB and MLBPA amend the Joint Drug Agreement to focus less on discipline and more on prevention and treatment.

Pottymouth’s winter baseball predictions are holding up pretty well, except that we left out all of Colombia. And there was a bench-clearing brawl!

Our New Year’s gift to you is the feminist history behind “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Our resolution? To learn the verses about Katie Casey and her love of the game and teach it to fans everywhere. Change the face of the 7th inning stretch!
