Nice! I was just doing a quick grid today. So quick I mixed up the HR and SB and tried to enter Bob Dernier where Hack Wilson or Andre Dawson belonged.

Yep. Same. Every time I think of Don Hoak, my next thought is that scene in City Slickers.
Matched on Doggie again.
Hoak & Helms!? Your turn to go oldschool while I went newer than usual with Newman & Moran.
Tucker Ashford!
The key card for me is the Guppy Troup.
No matches today, but my grids pretty weird.
Cecil Cooper!
As Meatloaf sang:
🎶 “2 out of 3 ain’t bad.” 🎶
These are headed your way.
Still at 1331?
O’Hare Sunset.
Like a Tequila Sunrise, only instead of Tequila you use Malört.
Matched on Akiyama, Dessens, and Graves. And both had Concepcion.
Cheers!
Matched on Doggie even though I wasn’t really focused on Reds. Dihigo & Torriente! Nice!
Matched on Benito and Concepcion.
Big Boy Baseball!
Matched on Wily Mo and both had Dennys Reyes. Matt Belisle is a nice pick.
Loved Edinson Volquez in 2008; first pitcher the Reds had in years that felt like you were watching an ace. (No offense to Arroyo and Harang, but they felt more like workhorses than thoroughbreds.)
First thought was that Cito Gaston was already elsewhere.
Second thought was that it’s not enough hair for Oscar Gamble.
Don’t remember this card at all; must still be on my want list.
This was terrific. Thank you!

Local lunch place does peanut butter and banana, generously drizzled with honey, and—brace yourself—adds sprouts.
“Why?” you ask. It creates a nice texture and somehow keeps the peanut butter from sticking to the roof of your mouth. Weirdly works.
Obvious matches on Encarnacion and Moustakas. Knew you’d have Bench there. Willy Tavares pick is a nice one.

My grid today!
Matched on Dunn & Sanders, despite me only using 3 Reds.
Love the George Foster pick, but love my Alou Brothers row even more. Legit annoyed I didn’t think of Matt Harvey. Nice!
And add a Goose logo.
Not Darrell Evans.
“How we gonna move these Fleer sets, boss?”
“Just show’em the Terry Puhl card, kid. That should do it.”
Dime. If I’m going to be jealous, I want to be really damn jealous.
How the hell did I never notice that?
Seem to remember one of the Brennamans on a radio call in extras at home bitching about Adam Dunn coming to the plate, and how Dunn strikes out too much, and he was the last guy you want up.
Dunn, of course, hit a walk-off HR. Just checked; Dunn hit 4 different extra-inning walk-off HRs for Cincy!
Foster-Votto-Satchell. 3 matches today and almost a 4th (I was tempted to use Concepcion but went with Hod Eller).
Knew you’d have Turkey on there!
Matched on Billy Hamilton & Buddy Bell. I’m kind of pleased with myself for using 2 active players today: Tyler Mahle and Emilio Pagan.
