    A rare gaffe from Roob. He says Mukuba tore his ACL last season when it was an ankle fracture.

    Well said. I have the monopoly on reverse jinxes in these parts.

    Interesting suggestion. But would Topper make this move 6 games into Crawford's career? That feels like the kind of quick intervention Topper isn't known for.

    The stars are all starting slow. Without a few big seasons from that group, this is a sub-.500 roster. It’s very early, but they’re not good enough to overcome a big early hole, IMO.

    It's crazy-early, but this is going to be the narrative all season after the club did zilch to improve the lineup. They're paying Casty $20M to play for an NL rival and his replacement has eerily similar strengths and weaknesses. Here's hoping guys like Bohm and Stott step up and have big...

    It's such a boondoggle at this point. You can read anything into everything said about AJ. Even ESP had his "a trade is obviously coming" slant after Howie's innocuous comments. A trade is counter to all the franchise has done over the past several seasons. But at this point, it's such a big...

    Now we hear another 3 months of Myles Garrett rumors along with all the AJ stuff. Sigh.

    Hunch here is that Big Fred wanted to see if any starting jobs sprung up. When they didn’t, this deal got done. Great signing. He’s bailed them out in the past two seasons.

    Lotta money spent in Washington. I wonder whether it will pay off.

    OT: Favorite rock lyrical couplets, 2 lines max. What you like?

    Funny. Kevin Smith used to hang out at that Blarney Stone. We’d see him occasionally when we ate lunch there in the old Ogilvy and Mather days. Six degrees.

    RIP Valerie Perrine

    I listen to 60s Gold on SiriusXM each morning while driving my son to school. Today's City of the Day was Perrineville, NJ in honor of Valerie.
