Criminal Stupidity

On this episode, finally there's stuff to talk about with baseball. Morgan rants about her team (Texas Rangers) and their plan to have full attendance. She then raves about the wonders of Zack Greinke. Finally, both Morgan and Laura dissect the arrest of a Cubs minor leaguer and all of the mistakes he made in addition to breaking the law.

(Not So) Quick Hitter #10: A Right Royal Recap (Copy)

On this not so quick hitter, Morgan and Laura welcome their first ever guest. Their good friend Alex joins the show to break down the major interview Harry and Meghan gave to Oprah.

Alex has a great Instagram dedicated to Meghan that discusses these important issues but also many fun and cute things. Be sure to give her a follow @duchessmmgrace.

Accountability Is A Thing....Or At Least It Should Be

On this episode, Morgan begins by discussing the less but still confusing new MLB COVID protocols. She also does a shallow dive into the women of the Negro Leagues.

Then, Laura climbs the corporate ladder and discusses hockey. She finishes the hockey segment by discussing the PR piece disguised as journalism written by Larry Brooks about everyone's favorite racist Tony Deangelo. Morgan and Laura also highlight NHL writers calling out the PHWA for highlighting and endorsing the piece.

Rants this week are both political in nature. They discuss the impeachment as well as the TJ Ducklo situation.

They end on a happy note though and use their raves to gush about the news that Harry and Meghan are expecting their second child and the gorgeous photo they used to announce it.

Everything Happened While We Recorded

Morgan was up first with some MLB updates which seems to always include some garbage men doing garbage things. She also discussed Drew Robinson bravely sharing his story (TW: suicide attempt, suicidal thoughts). Finally, she remembered the late Pedro Gomez.

For hockey, Laura started with some news around hockey before Climbing the Corporate Ladder. Highlights of that segment include: an explanation of the Buffalo situation, recap of the insane goal that shouldn't have been in the Columbus-Carolina game, Rick Bowness handling the Khudobin situation like it's 4th grade playground drama, and Jamie Oleksiak with an epic quote.

Rant and Waive

On this episode, Morgan and Laura talk about no players being selected for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Morgan then reviews the Arenado trade (the official podcast stance on this trade is: puke) and the current status of the 2021 season.

Laura then provides an update on the Isobel Cup. Then we Climb the Corporate Ladder to discuss the various goings-on in the NHL. Highlights include the GM situation in Pittsburgh and discussing the recent play of the Dallas Stars. But most of the time is spent on noted horrible human Tony Deangelo getting waived. Rant and rave (or waive) end the episode. Thanks to @ATFulemin on Twitter for Laura’s rave.

This Episode Was Recorded On Thursday

Laura and Morgan decided to be proactive this week, and the hockey gods punished them for it. They previewed the West and East divisions. But of course, all of this was as of Thursday. Since then: 1) the Stars season has been put on hold due to COVID-19 issues, 2) Mat Barzal signed a 3 year contract with the Islanders, 3) Corey Crawford retired, and we're sure there are other things we missed too. But there's still a lot of relevant details in this episode that will hopefully get you even more hyped for the NHL season to begin in mere days. We know we're excited to have live sports to cover on next week's episode!

What Even Is The Central?

Reverse Ret-NO

Morgan and Laura return for a new episode of the podcast. For hockey, they cover Bayne Pettinger coming out, the updates on the 2021 season, and the passing of friend of hockey Alex Trebek. But they spent most of their time ranting again on the reverse retro jerseys and the NHL's terrible unveiling of them. For the MLB, they have to start with crappy behavior: from Tony LaRussa being charged with DUI and then signed by the White Sox a day later to noted cheater Alex Cora getting hired and other noted cheater Jeff Luhnow suing the Astros over his termination there was a plethora of ranting to do. Things ended on a high note however when they discussed Steve Cohen officially owning the Mets and also being hilarious on Twitter and Kim Ng making history and shattering a glass ceiling by being named GM of the Marlins.
