ghost of miles

Finally got around to picking this one up a few days ago:

Very glad he’s going to be in the NL and not the AL East! Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Ohtani all in the same batting order… yikes.

Newly arrived and now playing!

Spent a lot of time recently revisiting Fats Navarro’s discography for a Night Lights show, including this track, with lots of flamethrower repartee between Fats and Howard McGhee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llk7Prh7s6k&pp=ygUYZmF0cyBuYXZhcnJvlGRvdWJsZSBOYWxr

Mine’s out for delivery today on my birthday! 🥳

Dodgers’ SB Nation site reporting that Ohtani is signing with Toronto. If true, the AL East just got even beastlier. This guy otoh says no decision yet.

Pulled this off the shelf earlier in the week because I wanted to play “Mother Ship” on my afternoon show and am now revisiting the set in its entirety for the first time in many years.

I think the concern stems from Judge’s size, his injury history, and the greater physical demands of playing CF. Judge himself seems fine with it. It’s probably only for most of all of 2023 anyway, as Jasson Dominguez is on tap to take over the position once he’s fully recovered from TJS.

The problem with that shipper is that he tends to drop his cargo at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.

It’s done: Juan Soto to the Yankees Going all-in on a one-year rental while Cole and Judge are still in their prime… I’m on board with it, but it’s costing them pitching depth.

Same here, via USPS. Progress!

Picked it up because of past comments made here by you! Any time I post that I’m listening to one of these FilmscoreMonthly-family reissues, it feels like a big yoo-hoo to TTK:

‘Tis the season:

Same.

Ghost writers of a different sort: Sports Illustrated published articles by fake, AI-generated writers ... I'll be sticking to The Athletic anyway, thanks. SI was a venerable institution of my childhood and adolescence, but all things must pass, etc. In more directly-related baseball news: Sonny Gray signs with St. Louis Cardinals for 3 yrs/$75 million

Another chance find from my visit to Landlocked Music this past Friday—seems like a good Sunday afternoon-into-evening record:
