Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!

70 Merm, 70 DADGLASSES, 30 stache, 60 DORKHAT, 20 complexion

Mueller was a brutish 6’4”, 220 lb. reliever who pitched in two seasons for the Milwaukee Brewers (1978 & 1981). In those two seasons, he pitched in six games, logged 14 ⅔ innings, posted a 6.14 ERA and a 1.773 WHIP. He spent 10 years toiling in the minors before hanging up his spectacles after the 1983 season at age 26.

Mueller’s claim to fame is that he played the Duke, a menacing Yankees reliever, in the movie Major League. He’s now the pitching coach at Concordia University of Wisconsin. So there’s that.

Thanks for listenin’!

“Alrighty, Brett. We’re all ready for you. If you’d kindly remove your welding goggles, we’ll snap a few pics and you’ll be on your way.” “They’re not welding goggles.” “OK. Well, if you could take them off, we’ll just snap a f-” “NO.”

In case you missed it, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar did something stupid and careless on Saturday. “I’m sorry for the actions of the other day,” Escobar said through a translator at a Tuesday news conference. “I’d like to apologize to the fans and the Blue Jays organization. It’s not something I intended to be offensive. It was nothing intentional or directed at anyone in particular. I have nothing against homosexuals.” Yup. It was “nothing intentional” except for the part where he wrote “You are a faggot” in Spanish on his adhesive eye black. That was an accident. He was actually trying to write “Tu Ere Macaroon” (a light, baked confection consisting largely of ground almonds), but he biffed the spelling. So yeah, it wasn’t intentional. Simple mistake. Happens all the time. Kudos to the Blue Jays for punishing a player for being an idiot. Next up: Suspensions for player DUIs.

Two musicians who love baseball, but don't take it too seriously.
