I'm running a game over on Facebook with a few of my regulars and a bunch of people who typically play with a more regular-Joe crowd. I think I'm losing the ability to relate to the regular Joe.

Jerry Lee Lewis – Me and Bobby McGee
Jerry Lee Lewis is a controversial figure . Its hard to buy albums and support artists like that. I think thats why I have not purchased any Ike and Tina Turner music. I don't want to give any money to Ike. (well, to his estate). Michael Jackson the same. I suppose if one have an ethical beef against music artists, ones record collection would be pretty slim. I dont know, this question is probably worthy of a deeper discussion sometime down the road.
Here is Jerry and all his ego singing Me and Bobby McGee
20 June 2016: Terry Ryan Needs to Go
Ryan, in his semi-regular radio appearance Sunday, said that the current plan is for Miguel Sano to go on a rehab assignment later in the week. And when the big guy returns to the majors, it won't be as an outfielder.
He'll DH, the general manager said, while deferring to the absent manager, Paul Molitor. He'll play third base some. He might even play some first base. But not right field, which was Sano's usual position before his hamstring pull, because of the leg issues. Sano's future? Said Ryan: "No question, it's third base."
