I woke up on April 25th of 2005 like I did any other day. I only had vague recollections of the night before and I was shaky and a bit nauseous, but that was normal because I was an alcoholic. I grabbed the bottle that was reserved for the mornings and I walked over to the sink in my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and didn’t like who looked back at me. Instead of pouring the contents of that bottle into a glass, I poured it down the sink. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Patience.  Read the rest of this entry »

Listener Questions

• Comparing 2026 AAA to 2025 AAA It looks like the Giants/Bryce Eldridge are working on his chase and pull air%, but I don’t think anyone, especially @Justin Mason would be happy with his plummeting zone contact%. Do you think he can recapture his zone contact% or is it going to be one or the other? (56:39)
• With the annual repeated success (lately) of mid tier pitchers (Schlittler/Imanaga/Roupp/CSanchez25/Hunter Brown 25/etc.) I feel like I am buying more into the no SPs in top 6/7 rounds of my DCs … hitters and closers early – SPs in the middle. What do you think? (1:00:30)

When I was a senior in high school, I had a number of options in front of me that I needed to make a decision on. After 9/11, I joined the U.S. Army Reserves with the belief that I would go to college to pursue my dream of playing football while being a reservist. I had a junior college that I was talking to about playing football for, I had early admittance to Sacramento State University where I could attempt to walk on their team, and I had the opportunity to go active duty in the Army.
