Leading Off



So things haven’t been fantastic since John Means threw a no-hitter. And I’m not just talking Wade Miley’s middle finger to Orioles fans. Some losses to the first place Red Sox have not diminished our spirits. Baseball is still fun, even when we’re not making history.

What a Pair







It’s our favorite episode of the year: the Baseball Widows grace us with their presence, and show the listeners just how good we’ve got it. Is it apparent that we “outkicked our coverage” (in the immortal words of Jabby Burns)? Of course. But they’re also incredible tolerant and do this silly segment for us every year.
