Long time Phillies fan. Wanted to make you aware that when Jose Mesa was on the team he was nicknamed “Joe Table” by the local sports radio. Jesus Lizard is an easy and natural evolution.
Zach Wroblewski
Also, tough ep with my last name.
Max Birdemic

This podcast is an absolute must listen as soon as it arrives. Also, very much in this world is Jon Bois and Dorktown. If you haven’t seen The History of the Seattle Mariners, it’s arguably the best piece of sports media ever made.

I'm the guy that got Arch of Dimes added to Basketball-Reference. The reason why that was doable was because of the clip of a broadcaster using it. If we can get McCarthy to use 'The Big Easy' I can probably make it happen on bRef.

As a Mariners fan….please don’t look at us
Eliana
the Phillies play-by-play guy Tom McCarthy is active on twitter you gotta tell him about The Big Easy it's perfect

As bad as the Pirates hitters have been, the biggest reason the Pirates have started the season so badly is the relief pitching. Holderman and Bednar entered the season as the "shut down" guys and have been ridiculously awful. But also, fuck the ownership and front office for not even ATTEMPTING to improve a team with a potentially amazing pitching staff. Just completely punted on the offseason.
