Are they inappropriate?  Are they too tall to see over?  What are the optics if pope hat-wearing fans brawl? Alas, it’s not for us to determine first hand, but we do get in an inadvertent “holy crap.” In the boyfriend report we find both bombs and f-bombs where Sal is concerned, We celebrate the turnaround of slow starts by Nick, Connor, and Josh. The former boyfriend word of the way is “Pokikémon.” You’re welcome. It’s a low bar when we celebrate flipping off fans over homophobic slurs but here we are. Alby takes it on the chin and still goes to work. We ponder the barrier- and record-breaking sale of the Padres and its implications for collective bargaining. We help you feel better about having done your taxes – at least you’re not filing 20 state returns and factoring in those 8 days you worked in Canada.We say, “De-escalate and then you can have a block party,” “Exas-pergasted,” and “everything is coming up Pottymouth.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith,, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
