Butt first, let's

I can never make peace with Yadier Molina for some reason. Part of me can't stop thinking of him as Benjie and Jose's kid brother.

The complete polar opposite player, Edwin Jackson, is only 33, two years older than I AM, and in my head he was old enough to have retired 5-6 years ago. Also - thirteen teams.

Holy poo poo Edwin Jackson is only 33? I'm 33. I'm with ya it feels like he should have retired after 2011 with the cards. I forgot he signed for like 4 years with the cubs after that.

I hope Edwin Jackson pitches until he’s 50. It makes me feel young to have people jfc at him being only 33.

Do Jackson and Dotel still have the record for most teams played for at 13 each? If so, let us all take a moment to marvel at the patchwork pitching staff of the 2011 Cardinals.

Edwin Jackson tried to fight Kevin Youkilis and was the reason the Tigers got Max Scherzer, so I love him forever.

Now I have to do some digging and find out which is larger:

2) # of players who have fought Kevin Youkilis

Jackson was a Blue Jay but never pitched for them. The Jays would make 13.

It seems really weird to me the MLB Network doesn't show winter league games, or show highlights, or even discuss them really. It's baseball. It's going on right now. I want to watch baseball.

Today I learned that Murray Chass will never lose his Hall of Fame vote. He's got it for life because he won some award that sportswriters give to themselves. Good job, BBWAA :thumbsup:

He blogged about it on his blog today: http://www.murraychass.com/?p=11216. and his ballot is bad - but not the worst I've seen this year tbf.

Holy poo poo. Chass the rear end almost sent in an Edgar only ballot. Even the ghost of Dave Niehaus would call that stupid.

Remember back in like 2014 when Chass said he was no longer going to vote, and then a month later he went back on it?

I'm sure my Marlins will be taking over that spot, as I figure the Mariners have to get in the playoffs in the next couple of years, whereas I'm sure the Marlins will continue to not compete for years to come.

Hello here are a couple of Bronson Arroyo stories

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2017/12/28/oral-history-bronson-arroyos-career-cincinnati-reds/799695001/

quote:

Stowe: “I do remember a couple pranks that he’s pulled. Billy Hatcher has got a little phobia of small people.”

Hatcher: “I don’t have a phobia.”

Stowe: “Bronson knew one of the guys from Big and Rich. He brought him and his brother in, who were both… smaller in stature. He hid them in his locker.”

Hatcher: “He told me he was ordering a glove and he had ‘El Snatcho’ put on it. I come in from throwing batting practice one day, and he says, ‘Hatch, I got your glove. It’s in my locker. It’s right there, get it out.’”

Stowe: “There they are behind all his clothes.”

Hatcher: “Two little guys, and I almost s—t myself, is basically what happened. I took off running and they got a laugh out of it. It probably took two or three years off my life.”

quote:

Votto: “He made a song about me. He made a song about me getting a Lamborghini. ‘I’m the MVP and I’m ridin’ in my Lambooooo.’ I came into the clubhouse one day and the song was playing over the speakers. I was like, ‘What is that?’ Then I started listening to it and guys would look at me and point and laugh. It was the year I’d won the Most Valuable Player and I bought a Lamborghini. He was just basically putting me in my place and reminding me, ‘Hey, you’re not immune to our shenanigans.’ I still ask him to this day for that song. I want the mp3 of it so I can listen to it in my Ford Focus.”

Godspeed Bronson Arroyo
