Really makes me wonder what Getz wanted that they considered to be asking for the moon.

I'm so proud that I recognized Fedde, but it's only because I had just looked at his profile yesterday. I also learned that his nickname is "Feddeccine," which is delightful.

This part's a lot funnier if we don’t take it as rhetorical, and pretend he's genuinely asking.

Agreed. Don't settle. Getz needs to keep a framed photo of Blake Rutherford on his desk to look at every time the Yankees call.

Maybe we could chisel in a little Drake LaRoche face somewhere nearby. Pre-rebuild, but I still think of that saga as a precursor of dysfunction to come.

Sad to see Mena go, although Fletcher sounds competent. If nothing else, we won't be as miserable defensively as years past.

I'm already unenthused to tune in to watch the current team, and I don't think it's too much to ask that I don't have to listen to it narrated by someone who hates people like me. The last thing I ever want to hear is, "Apparently the microphone caught me saying something inappropriate last inning. Please know that isn't who I am...aaaaand there's a softly hit ball by Nicky Lopez that'll end the inning."

It was rumored a few posts up. Long shot, but it would be White Sox AF.

If they replace Benetti with Brenaman, I think I'm checking out on the broadcasts for awhile. What he said wasn't a slip of the tongue. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Looking horrible in all possible scenarios. Jerry calls that the ol' "guaranteed rate."

That thought is so depressing to me. That we are hamstrung by promises made to Chris freaking Getz.

Jerry's baffling decision to exhume Tony La Russa to serve as manager gives me hope for Ng. I think he pines for any employee who leaves and has success elsewhere.

I try to tell myself that the actual haul of that trade was... Marlins receive: Jake Burger Sox receive: Jake Eder Kenny Williams' firing Rick Hahn's firing Makes me feel a lot better.

"Dinner" would've been a great nickname for Jaime Navarro.

Imagine being so rich and insulated by yes men that you're still aghast that someone sent you a text message with curse words ten years ago.

Seriously, where does he get off saying something like that? Oh, right, the parking lot.

Sometimes I think about how differently my life might have played out had I been born today, and it makes me a little sad. But then I get over it, because I start thinking about all of the generations of queer people who came before me, and how exponentially worse they had it. And if I really think about it, I realize that there has never been a more supportive time, in all human history, than today. And that will be true of tomorrow, and every tomorrow after that. We are living in a perpetual golden age.

Great win! Loved what we got from the bullpen tonight. Not gonna lie, I laughed at "The Clopener." I'm not proud. And we're only a few minutes into the post-game, but Ozzie has already waxed nostalgic about beating children and said Carlos Lee is now as fat as the Kool-aid Man.

First guy who comes to mind is Antonio Cromartie, who had 14 kids from 8 different women. But he played in the NFL, so maybe not who you're thinking of.

Imagine Benetti and Stone singing "you are no longer employed" to him, to the tune of the Nationwide jingle.

Knowing we're stuck with Tony at the helm seems to be sucking a lot of the fun out of following the team for me. I think the most entertained I was today came during the post-game, when Ozzie criticized Burger for getting engaged and said the guy who invented exit velocity should be jailed, lol.

LOL, that was immediately where my mind went as well.

Hahn-te's Inferno. I was definitely smelling brimstone when Mendick tagged up.

Maybe he was talking about reaching the next circle of hell.
