After seeing and enjoying similarly titled posts at Splashing Pumpkins, a great San Francisco Giants blog, I asked the proprietor of that site if I could steal borrow the concept here at PH8.

Lohse’s required a bit more wiggle work, but he was outstanding again nonetheless. We enter […]

Of all of the strange, silly, outlandish, and downright shameless contests we run here at PH8, I’m happy to both promote and participate in one that is worthwhile and fun at the same time. Win – win.

This episode is more like what Josh and I are used to. Start out with a modest goal of chatting about Cardinals baseball for about a half-hour, and wind up closer to an hour-and-a-half.
