“It is a joke. The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it. These guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went & they thought they figured the f---ing game out. They don't know s---. A bunch of f---ing nerds running the game. You can't slide into second base. You can't take out the f---ing catcher because Posey was in the wrong position & they are going to change all the rules. You can't pitch inside anymore. I'd like to knock some of these f---ers on their ass..."

Sampen pitched 5 years for 3 teams. His best was his rookie year in Montreal where despite only starting 4 games, led the team with 12 wins, and had a 2.99 ERA. He’s the only player to be drafted from MacMurray College. He grew up in Emden, Illinois.
705 - Tim Leary
The Mets chose Leary 2nd in ‘79 after Al Chambers, then traded him to the Brewers where he had his best WAR 3.6 in ‘86, but ‘88 with the Dodgers was his best. He was then traded to the Reds, then to the Yankees where Leary lost a league leading 19 games in ‘90.

PRAYERS PLEASE! 🙏
I have a couple of lumps on my neck, on the right lymph node.
The doctor said it may be lymphoma and I had a needle stuck into my neck yesterday to extract a tissue sample so they can determine if I have cancer.
I trust God but it is kind of scary. I’ve been healthy my entire life
Thank you my friends!
I’m pretty much going through this alone. I’m single and in a small new town. My mom has dementia so she really can’t process what’s going on.
