The video game “Day of Defeat” was released 11 years and one day ago. At least that is when the commercial version of the game was officially released. I fondly remember playing DoD 3.1 Beta prior to the full release as a youngster. Back in the days before Steam, fellow nerds like myself had to use WON ID’s and deal that old ugly UI. Good times.

On today’s agenda:
1. Anthony Gose is back in the majors
2. Omar Infante’s quiet production
3. Yep, that Juan Uribe
4. The Daily Five

Tomorrow is the 14th anniversary of New Found Glory’s From the Screen to Your Stero album. As the title would suggest, the album was covers of well known songs from films. My favorite track is probably “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough“, though “My Heart Will Go On” is pretty great too.

On today’s agenda:
1. Thoughts on Derek Norris‘ hot start
2. Chris Davis to the 15-day disabled list
3. The Daily Five

2. James Loney’s value
3. A bounce back start for Corey Kluber
4. The Daily Five
