AL-only 5x5 roto league fanatic. Fantasy baseball champ. Unapologetic homer for the Sox, Pats, C’s and B’s. 80s music connoisseur. Librarian. Film nerd. 🤓
Today in 1987, with the Pistons up 107-106 and in possession of the ball in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Larry Bird steals the inbounds pass and hits Dennis Johnson for the game-winner. It remains a thing of absolute beauty.
In my AL-only auction, I was actively fading #RedSox which confused the hell out of my league b/c I’m usually a homer. I had #TrevorStory at $18 last yr and tossed him back. He went for $24! And #CalebDurbin? I was interested in him in the $5 -10 area. $21! To the same team! 😮
13 years ago today, David Ortiz picked up a microphone instead of a baseball bat, and went from Red Sox superstar to Boston superhero.
And the FCC didn’t fine him.
The IL designation thing is so frustrating. @CBSFantasy why can’t I move #HunterGaddis into my IL slot?
Says right there that he’s on IL but you have him with an M.
Help? I’m missing out on juicy post-draft waiver wire action!
.@19fredlynn We’ve met a few times and I’ve always enjoyed seeing you, but your @cameo was really special!
On the trivia you asked me. I’m ashamed to say I had no idea who you hit your 1st big league homer off, had to look it up, I vaguely remember Jim Slaton. I’m down 0-1.
Down 2 strikes, I feared your first NL homer would punch me out. But then you tipped your pitch when you said it was off a World Series MVP. That hint made me think Hershiser and I knocked that one out of the park! Thanks so much @ebcapital and Fred for this gift! ⚾️ 🎁
When you mentioned the All-Star Game, I thought you were going to ask who you hit the grand slam off of… which I happen to know was Atlee Hammaker… but you figured I knew that, so you threw me a curveball I didn’t see coming. I whiffed on Seaver. 0-2.
