I took it on the road for Episode 3 — to God’s Little Acre, New Jersey, where friends of TN Mike “BSD” Dunn and Janine “J9” Jenik-Dunn rolled out a fantastic spread of peanuts, Cracker Jack, and stinky cheese. I brought the slanderous remarks about former Blue Jays, failed Shakespeare references, incorrect assertions about DH trades, name mix-ups (as it turns out, there is no “Andy” Beckett), and compulsive references to Daryl Boston. Then I tried to ‘ship Michelle Rodriguez with Ken Caminiti. Hope you packed a lunch!

Coming off the NSFW bench:

• Dickson’s Baseball Dictionary
• the justified anger of Cleveland and Pittsburgh fans
• the Pine Tar Incident
• MLB Network’s Top 50 Most Infamous Arguments
• Bill Cosby
• Curt Schilling
• Felix “the Run Fairy” Heredia
• Aimee Mann
• phantom bagpipes
• the Newark Bears
• Giant (Gl)ass
• a definitive explanation of pulling vs. opposite field…again
• Bob Uecker
• DUIs: a PR primer
• “the Poo Holes procedure”
• Mendozaaaaaaaaa!
• and a couple of sweet tunes from The Baseball Project and the Mamas & the Papas.

Enjoy the show, and please send your emails, comments, and team-related despair to bunting at tomatonation dot com. I’ve had a few issues with getting TSUP to show up on iTunes, but let’s give it a couple of days, and then if it doesn’t work, maybe one of you fine people can give me a quick clinic.
