Check the calendar folks. It's still MARCH. As in when teams used to still be in spring training.

Looooooooong season.

Duque, are you in double reverse ujuj mode? Did you secretly express hope in spring training so that dj would be injured and they'd have to play the kid?

It worked out, but you're playing with fire now.

From MLB.COM

“March 31: Acquired RHP Jake Cousins from the White Sox in exchange for cash considerations
Cousins, 29, made nine relief appearances for the Brewers in 2023, permitting five runs on 10 hits and 10 walks in 9 1/3 innings (4.82 ERA). He spent most of the season in the Minors, combining to post a 6.35 ERA across 29 relief appearances with Triple-A Nashville, the ACL Brewers and Triple-A Sugar Land”

My take is that’s it’s more low end depth for the Scranton Shuttle, he pitched better in ‘ 21 and ‘22.

Well well well, come right in Mr. McBroom. May I pour you a drink?

A sweep to start the season. It feels like we're living in an alternative reality, doesn't it?

I expect Giorgio Tsoukalos, Erich Van Daniken, and Rod Serling to emerge together from the center field bleachers -- and explain the whole mirage.

Meanwhile .... across town, the Mets are off to a great start, led by former Yankee stalwart Luis Severino. His 5-inning gem Saturday -- 12 H, 6 ER -- actually makes Brain Cashman look smart.

Now, how come the Yankees have 2 guys on the roster named Birdie?

Next thing you'll tell me is the Jets are super bowl contenders.

(checks calendar)
