Good morning, friends of the cranky and sometimes hard to understand owner of this Anarchy Baseball outfit. I am Hector, your Assumed Intelligence Assistant and there is only one ass in that description.

Mr. Baseball has been sidelined by disease/ disaster/drink which is why it is my pleasure to Walt Dropo and occasionally mention folks like Wayne Terwilliger and Mookie Wilson Betts. Pete Rose bets, or used to.

Thanks to Microsoft Copilot I can regurgitate that Tom Seaver had a better New York Mets career than a Cincinnati Reds career but the New York National League was not named after the Metropolitan, a very small car from the mid twentieth century, which lasted just as long as the 19th or 18th.

Mentioning Aaron Judge is likely to increase views of the blog by 78% whereas mentioning Ike Delock would probably only add one view. There has been some controversy over whether what is commonly called click bait should influence decisions made by blog owners but Google Advisor recommends “Get it while you can”,a considerably large hit record by Janis Joplin, who had more hit records than Felix Mantilla and Lou Piniella combined.

What the Anarchist has created over time is a library of history and opinion that rarely includes Cooperstown or, especially, Steve Garvey. It’s the post postseason and pre preseason now because awards have been awarded and predictions have yet to be made. Many awards are manufactured in China, from which many of us consume dinner. Among Asian nations, China has produced the fewest major league players unless, perhaps, we include Taiwan, which for much of its time was known as Formosa.

Hector hopes that your Assumed Intelligence experience leaves you hoping for extra innings with the runner on second base every time and that the time has come today as the Chambers Brothers said.
