Episode 5: Playing Hardball

This month's episode is the baseball preview. Yes, it's springtime, and young men's thoughts turn to spring and baseball. I have two guests for this one. First is Bill Baer of Crashburn Alley, who comes on to talk about his book, the Phillies and the National League. We also talk about the importance of sabermetrics and why the "regular" fan should embrace it. Next up is Jeff Paternostro of Amazin' Avenue/Metropolitan Tales, who comes on to talk about the Mets and the American League, but we also end up rambling about RA Dickey climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Twitter etiquette, Grantland and a little bit of our TV viewing habits. Play ball!
