How 'bout those Mompa Geese?

No Crying In Baseball

Patti and the Pottymouth propose a migratory bird name to replace the “Rays” if they move forward on the sister city plan, splitting time between Tampreal and Mompa. We throw in for Pottymouth’s forever BF Juan Soto’s MVP bid. Her former forever BF Mookie Betts does right by Reds rookie TJ Friedl, a young player with qHAR potential. Meaningful gifts abound, as Patti’s forever BF Christian Yelich presents a pair of custom sneakers to Bob “Air” Uecker to celebrate 50 years announcing the Brewers, and Jon Lester bestows Rolexes on his two former catchers, David Ross and Willson Contreras, on his possibly last visit to Wrigley as a player. How did we miss Jose Siri’s call up after nine years in the minors? Because he’s with the Astros -- but what a debut!

It’s definitely the Police Blotter when a manager and pitcher receive suspensions for throwing at a player, but did the player do wrong? We look at Kevin Kiermaier, a dropped data card, sending a batboy to do a man’s job, and getting beaned in the back by Ryan Borucki. Can’t everyone follow the lead of Jazz Chisolm and Josh Rogers and dance it out?

Veronica Alvarez coaches against Rachel Folden in the “instructs,” the roster for this week’s Congressional Baseball game includes several women, and we can’t wait for the ESPN upgrade of Jess Mendoza and Melanie Newman calling Wednesday’s game. The US Women’s National Team shapes future players at a girls clinic. Plan your January visit to Sarasota for the All American Women’s Baseball Classic. The IWBC is a step closer to building their museum. Six Cubans have defected so far during the WBSC’s 23U tournament in Mexico. The minor league’s crown their champs and the Triple A Final Stretch makes make-up games matter.

We say “zoning board,” “bicep boys,” and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
