Flyover State Mentality

As it turns out, the LAD vs NYY World Series is not *everyone’s* dream match up. Patti and Pottymouth are baseball sad, but yet we persevere. Kyle Manzardo and Tommy Edman show up big, the Temptations show up for Francisco Lindor, Pottymouth wants more chances for Oswaldo Cabrera to show up, and Patti wishes Mark Vientos showed up last year. Pottymouth directs your attention to International baseball in Taiwan, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic because 1) it’s fun, and 2) it’s not LAD vs NYY. And we return suspicious eyes to Baseball United again. Our police blotter looks at FanDuel making a deal for naming rights over the Bally Sports Network channels and MLB’s unclear intentions – do they not want sports gambling names on their “product” or are they just miffed they weren’t asked first? We are going to wallow, re-watch some classic Baltimore crime shows, maybe get some sleep, and probably end up watching the World Series anyway.

We say, “Stephen Vogt got his wisdom from a mentor, you got yours from Kenny Rogers,” You wouldn’t pull Grimace from the lineup if he were in it, would you?, and “I’m drinking beer and sitting in front of a microphone instead of doing the hard work.” Make a plan to vote, fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
