varied baseball nuggets for today:

+ the sea bass are up to 7th (out of 10) in the goat? fantasy league. if the season ended today… i’d be satisfied.

+ relatedly: am i going to hell because i’m cheering for a-rod (first-round pick for the sea bass) this season? yeah. i thought so.

+ if you haven’t already, read this. it’s a little dated, but is a perfect example of why i’m in love with firejoemorgan.com.

+ while the twins game tonight has been pretty depressing overall, i found a bright spot: yanks first baseman doug mientkiewicz grounding a ball to justin morneau, who starts a 3-6-3 double play. makes me forget about david ortiz a little bit.

+ lastly, sometimes baseball is really a game of multiple purposes. thanks to ETC for the link.

play ball.
