4. Visit every MLB stadium. The Orioles are bad. The Mariners are bad. We saw two former first rounders pitch for two last place teams. Safeco Field is gorgeous. Seattle hot dogs are weird. Kyle Seager is still and always and belovedly a dope, and he hit a home run. We now own a Lou…

Sharing photos of cats and idiot man-child third basemen since 2009. Thanks for sticking around, y’all, even as I got flaky the last six months. Expect more photos of idiot man-child third basemen and record reviews soon.

Five years! As always we celebrate with a photo of an idiot manchild third baseman. This one eventually became a professional, though.
a year in review
Happy New Year, you crazy kids. This was a really hard year in many ways, for me. It was also one of the best years I’ve had, as well, as crazy as that sounds. Because it wasn’t a bad year. It was just a hard year. And since I think therapy is good for everyone,…

One. I call this shot “The Unbearable Loneliness of Being An Awkward 19 Year Old Third Baseman”.

Double dipping with two from the archives, since today guys-I’ve-seen-play-before-they-were-famous seems to be a theme: Alex White (#6) and Dustin Ackley (#13), top, both of whom made their MLB debuts this year, during their last ACC home series at Carolina; and bottom, freshly promoted Indians 3B Lonnie Chisenhall, when he was with the Kinston Indians — who are,…
