We get feisty over “hostile” CBA negotiations, and stand with “furious” players. We call Rob Manfred on his ridiculous assertion that there is a deadline that needs to be met or games get canceled. It’s YOUR lockout, MLB!  Thank you Atlanta Hammers for being compelled to release your financials therefore providing actual data. And for you billionaire vs millionaire folks, please give Sara Sanchez’s Thousandaires piece a read.  Pottymouth requests a vegetarian version of new CWS boyfriend Leury Garcia’s “Tres Golpes,” while Patti picks Gavin Sheets, only partially because she gets to name check Journey, Larry Sheets, and Cal Ripken. Pottymouth selects mindfully meditative Tyrone Taylor of the Brewers, and Patti selects Jace Peterson only partially because she gets to name check Mallory Pugh.

CPBL players and the league have their first CBA, and a sixth team on the way. We hope for a World Baseball Classic sometime soon and we root for a Baker/Tebow appearance on Team Philippines. We say “Sistine Chapel”, “Did a Google” and “Backseat Hairbrush.”
