I watched the Hangover when my kids were little. When I dropped off my older daughter at college the Hangover 2 was the best option to watch back at the hotel. It was a little awkward with my younger daughter there, but ever since then we are all part of the wolf pack.

I know there's a lot of Bill Simmons hate out there, but this is hysterical

They rewatch old movies and just do a podcast on them. I've listened to most (although a bit behind now) and have enjoyed almost all, but this one had me laughing in tears.

Can anyone name the two pitchers from that tweet? I had to look them up. They are both typical second-half-of-draft vintage pitchers, one a B and the other a W. Johnny often drafted one of them, and sometimes the other. Both are good ratio guys and solid in wins but light in strikeouts.

Tommy Bond and....uh.......

Will White?

That's one. Tommy Bond pitched 58 of their 61 games. The other guy pitched 3 games. 1877 was his rookie year, but he went on to have a good career and often gets drafted for his 1882 season.

Will White?

Yep, that's the other.

it's gaudy ratios like that that make me save good letters for later in the draft and not get value all while I'm drafting shit quizy's in the first 4 rounds.

This is 100% my strategy every time.
