  • ‘Being An Idiot?’

    … “When I hear those numbers,” Poker asked on July 25, “Am I being an idiot?” The question answers itself. In the blatantly affirmative. *** Re. Raf Devers, Butt and Wipe wondered why the Last MLB Team to Integrate dealt Devers to Frisco. Like Mookie Betts, Pedro Martinez, Mo Vaughn, Jim Rice and Reggie Smith before him, Devers committed the cardinal sin in Beantown and among the schmucks at Duh Globe. Devers ain’t white.
