Your Cat Fur Won’t Help You Now

No Crying In Baseball

NCiB’s West Coast Correspondent and ace fantasy boyfriend baseball league manager Deborah guest hosts with Pottymouth while Patti hits the beach. She brings the boyfriend cred with a blast from Phillies past with a nod to Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski. There’s so much happening in Kiké Korner, from toppling postseason batting records left and right, to a Bold and Beautiful star turn. Current BFs in the postseason feature sexy defense and bats to the rescue from Late Night LaMonte and Chris Taylor, Deborah’s Giants and Dodgers BFs. Bonus vocabulary lesson: splash hit. Pottymouth’s former Angels BF Jose Iglesias now drives the home run laundry cart in the RS dugout and generally brings the joy.

We close the book on the Dodgers/Giants series with a full-season lens, not just that amazing Game 5: The check swing giveth and the check swing taketh away. There’s qHAR love and a bright future for Camilo Doval, Pitching goes all timey-wimey in the Hammers/Dodgers series, and Chris Sale is terrifying in a Strasburg’s evil twin kind of way. Austin Riley is clearly the star of the post-season Austins. We revisit Moral Alignment debates with countering the “no prick” Giants clubhouse with highs and lows in manager Gabe Kapler’s past, and that fuckin’ chop vs the evil empire of the west.

The Police Blotter identifies former Twin’s pitcher Sam Dyson as the latest suspended MLB player to sign with another league -- in this case the LMPRC.

We say competitive ping pong, Honkball, cat fur, and United Wiffle Ball National Championship Tournament

It was a promotion for their Native American Heritage Night in 2018 but you can still buy it here:Oakland Athletics x Native American Heritage night T- Shirt It features the A’s logo built from iconography drawn from tribes all over California.
