Respectable

The only problem with this podcast? I have to listen to a dwarf ramble on about his personal criterion’s. He hit .150 in Juco. He isn’t even the fall American. I’m the real fall American. This guy is a fraudulent. The 5’10 first basemen needs to gain my respect still.

Great pod, better guy

Podcast is great, jays are electric, #66 is a stud. But Canadian beer just doesn’t match up toe to toe with US beer. No debate.

It’s official, it’s unofficial. It’s officially unofficial!

What a podcast. Where to start. Johnny is a great host and has awesome guests on all the time. Gives you a view of a lot of minor league life as well as different viewpoints from big leaguers as well. Give them a listen!
