4/2 - Baltimore @ Boston - APRIL FOOLS PART DEUX

[VORP Speed]

I almost posted about that mid-game. I was watching the Rays broadcast (laid up with Covid, so sue me) and they were yammering about the club's new HOF. Hell, we've been around 25 years, it's time, huh?

So I didn't catch the answer to the above question per se, but the inaugural TBRHOF class is Zimmer, Boggs, and Crawford. Quite a Sox trifecta there. What a crap franchise.

From the interview with Zim's kid it sounded like some 45 members of the Zimmer family made it to St. Pete for the weekend to celebrate the honor.

Zimmer lived in the St Petersburg area ever since he got hit in the head in the ‘50s. He was a local institution. He technically was with the Rays longer than any other club (11 seasons), although was fairly ceremonial by the last few years.

Ort is elite! Find a new slant!

So you want to talk about Tilt instead? It’s all about the angles.

I genuinely believe that this team is no more than 14-15 arms away from being special.

So, seven or seven and a half guys?

is it too soon to give out a 1/54 of the season grades?

So, seven or seven and a half guys?

So we can compromise and at least ship half of Ort out?

 

[I Miss Maalox]

As they say in Baltimore, “warder.”

wORTer!

Maybe only the right half. How bad could he be lefty?

I was thinking we would keep the bottom half and just use him to shag fly balls in batting practice, and perhaps as a pinch runner.
