The PosCast with Joe Posnanski & Michael Schur

What's in a name?

Hi everybody!

OK, it looks like we’re all here at the new PosCast newsletter now. It took a little while to make the transition, mainly because it took a little while for us to escape Meadowlark’s Evil Lair. It wasn’t easy. We had to we had to elude any number of Meadowlark Goons and get out from their piranha-filled moat and sign various documents stating that we will root for the Florida Panthers for the rest of our lives. It was hell. We’re just happy to be here.

On this week’s PosCast, we may have done the stupidest thing we’ve ever done, and while we can say that pretty much every week, it will be hard for us to top the name game we played. In this game, as you can see in the above video (thanks to our intrepid producer Sarah, we have video now!), we simply said a bunch of names and then decided, based on absolutely nothing, what baseball team that name fit.

We determined that Nolan Gorman is as Cardinals a name as you will ever find.

So dumb so, obviously, we’re going to keep doing this. If you are a paid subscriber here — and you can sign up if you are not, all money goes to PosCast charities! — you can put your full name (with middle name please!) in the comments, and on the next PosCast, we will choose a bunch of names and determine, again based on nothing, on what team and in what sport you belong.

Thanks to all of you for listening and being a part of this goofy community. It means the world to us.

— Joe and Mike
