Like I always cut up my apples because when I was little, I had a dream that I bit into an apple and my two front teeth came off in the apple.
I haven't been able to psychologically eat an apple just biting from it since.

Yup, losing teeth while eating an apple is the childhood nightmare that haunts me.
Also, weirdly enough, this carved wooden stork that my great-uncle gave my mom stabbed me in a dream and that always freaked me out

I'm mildly disappointed that Tim Tebow's hand injury will likely prevent him from appearing in the majors this year.  If there was ever a team and time to let that circus play out, it would be the 2018 Mets.  Sigh.

I thought the poop emoji was a beehive, and I was desperately trying to understand what bee meme I had missed.

Then again, I thought the twitter goat emote was a scotty dog
and I was trying to figure out why people would say something is a scotty dog when they liked it
I like scotty dogs, but I had never heard the phrase "That play was a scotty dog!"
Until it was pointed out to me that it was a goat for greatest of all time

If the Astros were a cereal what would they be?  Cheerios?
If the Orioles were a cereal what would they be? King Vitamin?

Dan, I noticed in a screen grab you posted that you live near Kettering. I used to travel to Kettering for work, but you never invited me over for dinner. What gives?

I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THESE FACTS
If someone wants to grab beer randomly or something, they know where my Twitter was

Could you throw a 48 mph pitch?

I threw 70 as a kid, so I think I could still throw 48

Hey Dan, obviously you (like any sensible human being) hated Carson Cistulli before you came to be employed at Fangraphs(dot)com. Now that you have to submit things to him to be edited and perhaps even (gasp) take his suggestions on writing assignments, how is your personal health? I am concerned that amount of disgust could manifest itself into a tumor or ulcer or something.

Truth is, outside of schtick, I get along quite well with Carson.

What if Hader actually meant he hated joyful people and was using another synonym?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Nobody's used it that way since like 1925.

Hey Dan, I recently started grilling my burritos after I wrap them and am now an evangelist for this process. I don't know how many disappointing un-grilled burritos I ate in my life, but I know I'll never make one again.
