The Old and the Cold

Why can't we beat the worst teams? Our Sunday boaters are dodging fish sword beak mouth things while they break down the first two lousy games of the Marlins series. They also have a good cathartic rant about Justin Verlander and cover the hopefully temporary demotion of Tyler Fitzgerald.

Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen
