Joe Sheehan and Craig Elsten tried something today...and flamed out spectacularly.

The idea was to put only active MLB players in the grid. Then, the grid was not particularly friendly to the task.

Enjoy the worst scores and fewest correct matches in Immaculate Talk history! We'll try to do better tomorrow.

Happy Trade Deadline Day! On August 1, 2023, Joe Sheehan and Craig Elsten go square-by-square through Immaculate Grid #121, including...

• ...and some silly '80s stories from extra-innings Angels games for today's Sicko Score of the Day
