Jesse Friedman, host of The Web Gem Podcast, joins the show to lament the state of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Twins stink... a LOT. But they are loaded with talent and will have a top draft pick. A few trades can stack their farm even more.

A few managers are on the hot seat, including Price in Cincinnati. The make up of managers currently in the big leagues remain someone curious.

The All Star rosters are set and I wonder if the Reds should sell high with Adam Duvall.

The Kevin Durant signing in the NBA reminded me how close the 2003 Red Sox came to being beloved and members of the 2004 champs were almost obscure.

With some teams wondering if they are contenders or not, the red hot Giants can mold their roster for yet another October run.

After years of communication and podcast appearances, I finally got to meet Lisa Swan of Subway Squawkers in person. We talked in the Upper West Side about the state of the Yankees.

I recorded today's podcast in New York City. I had strong ties there and thought I would never leave. Then I went to California. So I am just like the Dodgers and Giants!

Standing outside the gate at ESPN, I think about how the network changed what we feel we are entitled to as sports fans.

I recorded today's podcast from Willimantic, CT, the town where I was born. And that place means virtually NOTHING to me.

I made my first trip to Fenway Park since 2002 and naturally recorded a podcast from there.

The Mets want to bring Jose Reyes back. This is not a story of redemption, atonement nor correcting a mistake. It is enabling a problem larger than baseball.

I visited Nickerson Field, once called Braves Field, the former home of the Boston Braves.

SUNDAY REQUEST - @wernherzbear wonders if Nolan Ryan deserved a Cy Young for his losing 1987 season

The Pirates are losing despite having great talent. The Indians and Rangers are winning despite injuries. It is very hard to figure out.

I made a trip to the Massachusetts school where I blossomed. I can't help but wonder what players would become stars if they were in the right place.

I went to two places of my youth, Newbury Comics in Boston and the souvenir store outside of Fenway Park, and thought about not growing up.

From my old hometown of Weston, Massachusetts, I went to my old little league field. It was not how I remembered it.

Larry Herndon joins the podcast to talk about his days with the Giants and coming up through the Cardinals organization.

I am thrilled for the fans of Cleveland after their NBA title. I remember when the 2004 Red Sox won, it meant I can now just have FUN being a sports fan.
