Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
This may be the saltiest podcast ever. I enjoy it.
The intro sounds very NPR-like. Not sure if that’s what you were going for or not.
Klaassen,
If it makes you feel better Cistulli used to say “Sa”bay”thia all the friggin’ time!
First org 6, then the twins beating the yankees?….really my son I died for you to make these kinda of predictions?
From 21:53 to 21:53 is an EPIC rambling bumbling monologue from Klaassen. Sorry buddy, but the Pod just might not be your thing.
*24:53. Sorry Kyle, typing just might not be your thing.
good lord i thought the same thing. did you have an aneurysm during those 3 minutes? holy shit
I like Klaasan, smart guy, says good things.
It’s a shame Matt didn’t have time to call Dave on his largely innaccurate panning of the Giants’ offense.
Compare the triple slash for the Phils and Giants in the NLDS:
Philly: .212/.301/.295
SF: .212/.288/.273
The Giants starting 8 also measures up to the Phils in terms of total offensive WAR for 2010 (injures to Phillies regulars balanced by Giants’ midseason pickups/callups).
Finally, Dave says the Giants scored 8 runs in 4 games. They scored 11.
Dave, my only problem with your argument is that it isn’t true.
oops, flipped the SLG for the two teams. My mistake.
