Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
An acquaintance just had to get emergency surgery on her dog because it swallowed the squeaker from a chew toy and got a blockage. It was a smallish dog and I’m sure you’re already aware of the potential risk, but FYI.
I would like to make a suggestion to improve FanGraphs Audio: For the love of God Mr Cistulli would you please stop repeating yourself, repeating yourself, repeating yourself. In your intro you say the name of Andrelton Simmons six times!
I like it.
That’s kind of his schtick, man.
I thought it was free-form Algerian rap styling Carson picked up in some sketchy arrondissement in Paris. Carson’s always struck me as a north African underground rapper. Granted, one that went to some stodgy prep school in Olde Coastal America, but still…
I also enjoy Carson’s particular (and peculiar) style and pizzazz.
Andrelton Simmons!
Re: Cameron’s “Netflix for chew toys” idea, Barkbox has been around for a while.
The Andrelton Simmons to Brett Gardner transition was pretty masterful.
The music that bookends each episode appeared on an episode of a quiz show over here in the UK this week (University Challenge, for those interested). I got some odd looks from those around when I shouted out Herb Alpert after about one second.
