Is Rob sick, or is Rob "sick (cough cough) and no, that's not CBS you hear in the background"?
@Dave R.
I think he's actually sick. But in exactly 24 minutes, I'm scheduled to get a splitting migraine.
I find it hilarious that Dykstra is now a day trader. In the 86 Mets book, they repeatedly mention how horrible he was with money. Apparently he was a lousy golfer, but would make outrageous $3000/per hole bets. Basically he would bet on anything with anybody and usually lost. On a side note, he's dominant on RBI Baseball...I've gone 1st to 3rd with him on a slow grounder to third.
great knuckleball article!
That stand-up RBI in the Holliday interview was probably one of the "Vs." series of games released for Nintendo as a stand-up machine. They had a "Vs." Mario brothers, a "Vs." Track n Field...they were all slightly different than the ones released for the home console.
At least, this is what a friend told me. I have always been too busy banging chicks to learn something as nerdy as that.
WHO'S WATCHING THE BLOG?!?
