And we're back from the holiday break, and while there hasn't been much baseball news, there's still two hours of yammering. After going through your emails, featuring our new proven successful dating advice, we settle in for an hour or so of intense prospect talk, and then we're joined by multi-media superstar Jay Jaffe to talk about Hall of Fame voting and what lies ahead in the controversial 2013 class. Then we have the usual goofy stuff, including our longest What Are You Drinking segment ever, as Jason gets mad.

It's the final podcast of the year, and with the free agent frenzy slowing down, Yu Darvish fills the void, so we talk about Monday night's wackiness, what the Darvish signing means to the Rangers, and then we get intellectual with our special guest is Mike Plugh. An American Professor in Japan who has consulted with major league teams, Mike discusses the transition for Darvish on a cultural level, and breaks out a few big words. That's it's all the goofy stuff you expect, and happy holidays everyone. As always, we hope you enjoy.

After a week in Dallas and a show that was getting ready for Dallas, we're back with our first 'normal' show in a while. It has all the usual stuff with emails, talks about all the big moves, reviews of some prospect lists and some Yu Darvish predictions. Speaking of Darvish, our special guest is Bobby Keppel, a former big leaguer who has spent the last two years in the same rotation with Darvish, and he breaks him down for you, while telling some tales from his own fascinating career. As always, we hope you enjoy.

So what happened on day one? Pretty much nothing, but that's OK, as Jason and I can talk briefly about nothing, our encounters with sexiness, and then special interviews with Rob Neyer and Dylan Hernandez wrap everything up. Let's hope for more action tomorrow.

It's a short show, because we wanted to get to all of your great email. Still, we yammer for about an hour about a variety of subjects, have a quick That Just Happened and tell you of our plans for three shows next week in Dallas. As always, we hope you enjoy.

It's a very special Thanksgiving episode of the podcast. Well, not really, but we do talk about food at the end. With the new CBA announced on Tuesday afternoon, we are joined by Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of the new agreement, and our other special guest is my mother, with her own That Just Happened. In between we read tons of emails, talk about prospects, awards and Neftali Feliz' new job, and at some point even bring friend of the show Jorge Arangure in to add some holiday cheer. As always, we hope you enjoy.

It's a combination of fun and serious this week. We begin with lots of prospect talk, as we walk through the Seattle Mariners Top 11 list and finish off our discussion of every team in baseball's minor league system with the final five teams. We couldn't have a show without talking about Yoenis Cespedes, so we discuss the video, what kind of player he really is, and then are joined by Dominican broadcaster Kevin Cabral, who is the voice you hear at the beginning of the show. Kevin talks about his involvement in the video, as well as some changes going on in the winter league there. From there, things get somber, as we discuss the Wilson Ramos kidnapping and are joined by pitcher Scott Drucker, a right-handed pitcher currently in Venezuela, who takes you inside the clubhouse on the night the news broke, and talks about security measure for players there. Then it's onto the goofy stuff with music, drinking and brushes with greatness. As always, we hope you enjoy.

We had no time for guests. We just wanted to do a quick show and talk about some off-season beginnings and a lot of prospects. How it ended this long we're not sure. We're both talkers, and let's face it, tales a clowns and blood have to be included. As always, we hope you enjoy.

Hey! Look! It's a normal sized show! Jason and I go through the email, talk about Theo, the CBA announcement that wasn't, and plenty of prospect before being joined by friend of the show Andy McCullough of the Newark Star Ledger who talks to us about the World Series, and what it's like to cover one. Then it's extended goofy stuff with dueling That Just Happened stories. Please note that there are some audio issue that I did my best to address, as my audio levels fluctuated for unknown reasons. It's not perfect, but the only other option was now show, and as always, we hope you enjoy.

We couldn't do a show last week for a variety of reasons, but we make it up to you with nearly three hours of fun. We preview the World Series with Anthony Andro of Fox Sports SouthWest and Deadspin founder Will Lietch.  We talk a ton of prospects.  Our special guest, Rafael Rojas, gives us some fascinating talk about baseball in Venezuela. We have a listener of the week with rock star Riley Breckenridge. We even deliver not one, but two Nots. We hope you enjoy, and somehow make it all the way through, as this show was a lot of fun to do.
