Motor City traffic was fucking brutal, but it was an absolute privilege to witness Miguel Cabrera become the 33rd player in Major League history to reach 3,000 hits in person.  Unfortunately, baseball always proves to be six months of misery momentarily punctuated by fleeting moments of joy as the #Tigers suffer the WORST walk-off loss imaginable in Minnesota in the midst of a five-game losin...

So let it be written... nothing is certain in life but death, taxes, and reckless preseason baseball speculation podcasts.    #MLB #OpeningDay

Tony La Russa 's misguided diatribe against #WhiteSox fans who want to improve the ballclub inspires a new game show! The #Tigers have good news with Spencer Torkelson 's promotion to the big leagues, bad news with Riley Greene 's broken foot, but GREAT news with the trade for Austin Meadows . The #Cubs have roughly HALF of a Major League rotation. Carlos Rodón looks good early (as usual) but how...

Tuesday, March 1, 2022 will forever be known as #NOPEningDay as the owners unilaterally canceled the first two series of the season. And while the owners' lawyer, Rob Manfred is the easy punching bag, #MLB owners earn our Asshole of the Week dishonor. 

Rob Manfred cans Ken Rosenthal because his fragile ego can't handle respected journalism  |  Lockout shows no sign of an end, but we speculate when it might  |  Which big-name free agents from the significant pool available will the #WhiteSox, #Cubs, #Tigers, and #SFGiants sign?  |  Comerica Park might be getting more reasonable dimensions  |  Fuckin' A's ge...

[NOTE: Apologies for Smitty's shitty audio quality as we had some technical difficulties we were unaware of at the time of recording. We'll do better next time.] Make no mistake, #MLB owners CHOSE to step away from the negotiating table and leave the baseball world in limbo for the foreseeable future  |   Jed Hoyer and the #Cubs have apparently recovered from their "biblical losses" and...
