Discontinuity Is King

LazyKingDave: Probably not much longer, but more as the mood strikes me. Good to see you again. Hope you enjoy. Thanks! * * * June, 2021 Verlander won again, the first night of the draft, in Kansas City. Ross Whiteside made his case for staying in the rotation, and we took two of three in KC. Tampa continued to hold the lease on us. Except when Verlander pitched. He actually became the first ten-game-winner in the American League. I mean, he's no John Means, 13 - 0 with an...

Surrounded on all side by glitz, glitter, and what has to be the highest...

June, 2021 "Nicely done," Mal said as Jack came down from the stage in the press room. The smallest of the press rooms. The small, unadorned, made-smaller-by-opening-folding-walls, more-chairs-stacked-in-the-corner-than-in-rows-for-reporters, press room. It was early in the morning of the first day of the draft, or as it was officially known, "The 2021 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, sponsored by Chipotle Mexican Grill, Where You Can Choose Your Ingredients Like Choosing a Player, and...
