Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Off Topic – When today (4/27) can we expect your stats to update. It is already 7am ET and I have not seem them not updated this late before.
Thanks for another great ‘cast! How did you get Michael Cera to play “Carson Cistulli” (smirk) on these?
I love the Podcasts, but I have one piece of constructive criticism: the “fantasy” themed editions must be more timely.
Carson mentioned that this edition was being recorded on April 21, but it wasn’t published until April 26. Certainly there was some bad luck here, but a bunch of things happened that would impacted the players discussed. Kevin Millwood pitched twice and raised his BB total from 1 to 7. Chris Davis was optioned to AAA on April 22nd. Justin Masterson got lit up by the woeful Oakland offense.
If the podcast is recorded Wednesday night, post it Thursday morning. You can still call it Fantasy Friday, but waiting to post it doesn’t help anyone. It’s not as important for normal editions of the podcast, but fantasy is a time-sensitive endeavor.
Nothing constructive, just wondering what song the intro is?
Me too. I’ve been wondering about that song for several weeks. Googling the lyrics has not helped…
Oh, sorry not to’ve responded sooner. The song is Phantasies by Stephen Malkmus. He’s the guy who used to front Pavement.
Ha: “PHantasies” That explains why google wasn’t helping me. Thanks, Carson. I love the pods, BTW. Keep ’em comin’.
