Kerned Beef (feat. Allison McCague)

Alex and Bobby run through a grab bag of topics from the last couple weeks, including David Stearns as the prodigal son, meet the new Trop (same as the old Trop), some certifiably Bad Vibes in San Diego, the end of The Chaim Bloom Era in Boston, the finer points of uniform typography, Yusei Kikuchi’s sleep habits, James Cameron’s “Titanic,” and more. They also talk to Allison McCague from A Pod of Their Own about their annual Dollars for Dingers fundraising drive in support of the National Domestic Violence Hotline and this weekend’s raffle in New York.  Links: Dollars for Dingers  Follow Allison on Twitter  Follow A Pod of Their Own on Twitter  Yusei Kikuchi’s need for sleep  Rays announce new stadium deal  Neil deMause on the Rays stadium news  DEA documents show A-Rod named names  Rangers announcers roast Mariners uniform kerning  The Padres are facing an “institutional failure”  Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon  Tipping Pitches merchandise  Songs featured in this episode: Smash Mouth — “Walkin’ On The Sun” • Jay-Z — “Change Clothes” • Booker T & the M.G.’s — “Green Onions”
