"I'm just swinging hard and hoping I hit it"

Literally everything that is wrong with Ian Desmond in one sentence.

[mitlen]

Desmond sounded like he was trying to do a Werth interview.

[Mathguy]

Oh c'mon now - you could speak better after a 3 hour game ?

Ian is such a moron 

[stealyerbase]

Gotta pronounce that like Bugs Bunny, "What a Maroon!"

[Mathguy]

Werth is more fun during an interview - maybe it's the beard

Kept waiting for Desmond to add a "Dan Kolko" to one of his answers.

Fun fact (well fun if you're kind of a nerd like me):  The use of "Nimrod" as a general insult to someone's intelligence comes from Bugs Bunny.  He calls Elmer Fudd "Nimrod" as a sarcastic reference to the biblical king and great hunter.

In fact, Ali the Baseball Cat has an avatar of a painting of the tower of Babel.  In said painting, Nimrod is depicted in the lower left.

Dare I say Storen > kimbrel?

Sucks that max didn't get sauced.

[Mathguy]

Sucks that max didn't get sauced.

Prolly turned Kolko down when he asked him to do a posty knowing there was a lot of syrup coming his way. Max is not stupid, he's stupid rich.
