Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘Whitesnake’ as in here I go again on my own as in the classic 1982 jam by Whitesnake as in the New York Mets have finally done it, they have got their guy… Francisco Lindor. How did this deal come about? Why would the Cleveland Indians trade the best shortstop in the game for prospects? Are the New York Mets the real deal now or is new owner Steve Cohen not done making moves? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me if I can foresee a franchise in Vancouver being successful in MLB. Don’t let MLB ownership deceive you with the news of these new TV deals. The money is there and the owners will have it. Review - Freaky. Let’s give out some picks for the Super Wild Card weekend! Let’s end today with DeShaun Watson update. He is mad. Very, very mad.

White snake. Nothing personal. We're the day for January 8, 2021 is white snake. What's

0:45.9

the first thing you think of when I said the word white snake? Well, it's obviously the

0:49.2

song and it goes like this. I can't play it because we'd have to pay a fine. And
