and it broke again in rehab?

Like J.R. Richard idn't actually *retire* midgame.

Jkim

The ST. Louis Cardinals outscored the Arizona Cardinals. That is all.

Would you rather ride a Llama or a Mountain Lion to work?

Dan Szymborski

1:04

Llama. A llama won't eat me.

O's Nos

1:05

You know, if either Alan or you fell in, she was not going to help you.

Dan Szymborski

1:05

Actually, when I half-drowned myself *this* year, she didn't notice I was having issues and went to fetch my beer that was floating downstream

Captain Obvious

1:05

Kayaking with “foam swords”?? Don’t you mean Oars??

Dan Szymborski

1:05

No, actual foam swords we had in our kayaks with us

Tony Clark finally hired a real labor negotiator, so that's something.

Dan Szymborski

1:05

Yes

Chris Sale and David Price have really bad playoff numbers, should this worry Sox fans?

Dan Szymborski

Matt

Which Tony would be a better head of the MLBPA: Clark, or the Tiger?

Dan Szymborski

1:06

Tiger. Hawk. Danza. Fat D'Amico who doesn't exist.

why is Putin spelled Poutine in French when there's already the fries-and-gravy thing too?

LFC Mike

Finish this Dan...This week would be great if I could have ______________ for dinner?

a steak that comes with a complimentary check for one billion dollars.

Matt

1:06

What do you not believe in - ghosts, or grandmas?

Ghosts

If the Padres traded Hosmer now, how much of the contract would they have to eat?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

Most of it. Nobody wanted to give him that contract.

Well, except for the Padres.

And probably the Royals, though I don't think their real offer was near the rumored one

CamdenWarehouse

1:07

By fixing the Reds, do you mean making it so they can't produce little Reds anymore?

Dan Szymborski

1:07

At the very least, Homer Bailey needs to go behind the barn.

Rockie Dangerfield

1:07

Rumor has it that if a relief pitcher retires mid-game they just take him back into the bullpen and put him down Old Yeller-style

No only did I put beans in my chili, I put three different kinds.

Dan Szymborski

1:08

Well, once it's not chili, you might as well go full-court-press into your meaty bean salad.

Maybe Mike Trout could do a TV show where every week he teaches you how to make a different type of pancake -- "Hey kids, this week I'm making blueberry pancakes!"

Random comment: I had a dream last night where I traveled - Sliders style - to a parallel reality where Firefly was never cancelled. I immediately bought all the DVDs, brought them back... and found that they were the inter dimensional equivilant of region locked. Couldn’t watch em. It was awful

Dan Szymborski

My dream last night was that I was playing a baseball game with some minor league team against Gandhi and a bunch of guys that looked like Gandhi and we were taunting them that they were going to lose, but then Gandhi said they had a secret weapon: They were all BEST FRIENDS.

And my team got really quiet and worried. Never found out what happened.

Captain Obvious

1:09

Loose, silly, and undisciplined ... But are you potty trained? We need to know.

Dan Szymborski

1:10

I have a 100% record at reaching the toilet since about the age of 4

Dravecky was the name who broke his arm, at least the story I know

Dan Szymborski

1:10

Saunders definitely broke his arm too

Would you ask Sheryl to do a piece on what it would mean for team ownership (think Mets, Rays, etc.) to spend more on payroll. It's one thing if ownership is taking home a ton of team profit as salary and needs to reduce that so the team can invest more internally. But owners and teams are separate financially institutes, so I'm pretty sure the former can't tell the latter, "Sure, here's my personal credit card—go get whatever will make you happy!" Separation of finances has to exist for a reason, right?
