Baseball games not involving the Astros

When I first saw that yellow square at a glance, I swear I thought that’s what it was.

I guess Coca-Cola would have the been obvious choice, but they are a league sponsor so not sure if they can do just one team.

Seems like Hooters would be a sensible choice.

Hooters, endorsed by Chipper Jones!

And Dante Bichette, for two TOTALLY different reasons.

Because his man tits were big enough to work there?

I will forever associate Clinton with McDonalds, via Phil Hartman.

That was a great sketch. I was poking around on YouTube the other day and watched some old SNL clips with Hartman. One of my favorite characters he ever did was The Anal Retentive Chef. Just gold. Hartman was a treasure.

Others obviously went on to bigger careers, but Hartman was the best sketch comic SNL ever had.

I’ve mentioned this before, but Hartman was also a graphic designer.

He did the interlocking CSN logo for Crosby Stills and Nash as well as the cover art for America’s Greatest Hits album.

Hartman was great. Kate McKinnon is the closest recently. I would also nominate Jon Lovitz. Even Lorne Michaels said if there was ever one player who truly “got” SNL, it was Lovitz.

Well, was a dickhead. By all accounts. Many, many 18 year olds with some sort of talent are arrogant and entitled. Very few have the stage Harper had for that to be on full display. Unsurprisingly, he matured. Just as most entitled, arrogant 18 year olds eventually do.

I can’t help but be ok with the Phillies. I’m really appreciating GF’s enjoyment and enthusiasm for their success and I’m cheering along with her - up to a point…

I’m not as confident as you are that he’s matured that much. But point taken.

It’s always a good thing when your woman gets “enthused”. You may end up back on the couch for a few weeks though.

Jobu willing.

I hear that he calls into Philly sports talk radio and acknowledges fans and callers. I heard a few weeks ago he liked what one caller said so called in to tell him he was giving him 2 tickets at will call.

He obviously wants to win, plays hard, and plays through injuries.

He may be intense and a red ass towards opponents but I would love for him to be an Astro.

One of those “Hell, ya. . . He’s our asshole” types.

It’s possible to be a great player, good teammate and also a giant douchenozzle.

It’s called diversity, people.
