It’s our second to last boyfriend week of the off-season so we’ve got some Yankees and some Phillies to talk about. For NYY, All signs pointed to Jorbeet in Orbeet for Pottymouth, and how could Patti resist a big man who can fly and cook? Pottymouth dives into a next gen situation for the Phils and Patti follows an unusual, if dope, path to the Show. Harrison Bader signs a food truck and Brooke lobbies for her dad’s spot on the Jays. We crosstrain with some college hoops players to the rescue and a super-iffy World Cup environment. There’s just no way to untangle the politics from the World Baseball Classic so we’re just putting it all out there. And Patti’s Olympic hockey rant almost gets derailed by the dropping of literal bombs, but not quite. Don’t forget to let us know if you want in on the fantasy league or want to meet us in Kansas City!

That’s right, spring training games have started and we’re getting alerts about players we don’t know. First though, we’ve got a legit scandal crossed with police blotter and wrapped in labor. Pottymouth is already a man down with her ARI boyfriend heading over to B’more. New boyfriends this week are from SEA and LAD. For the Mariners, Pottymouth picks the army brat who is always prepared, and Patti goes for the Cleveland kid with a shared love of Kenny Lofton. We dug deep for Dodgers, with Pottymouth selecting sexy defense with uncanny timing, and Patti picking the oldest of three brothers from the city of brotherly love. We’re keeping an eye on the barnstorming rumors for the WPBL. We’d like MLB to consider some equity measures in their umpire promotion system, please. Teams are warming up for the WBC as long as they can jump through the travel hoops. And we wrap up with some giveaway swag you might want to get in line for. Finally, your hosts make good on donations to counter the bad behavior of players on teams that matter to us. Pottymouth donated to Sojourner House and Rosie’s Place for Aroldis Chapman Red Sox saves, and Patti donated to Baltimore Safe Haven in order to root for a US Gold Medal Women’s Hockey team with Britta Curl-Salemme on the roster. You are welcome to join us in these donations if you are so moved.

You can keep your Kevin Bacon, we are practically related to Bad Bunny. I mean, we stood next to Ronald Acuña Jr once and he was in the casita so here we are. Nick is off to unbutton his jersey in San Diego, where they also are not a beer league. Kiké continues his one year at a time pace with the LAD. Players have another winning season over owners in the “stupid” arbitration system. It’s a three hamate week (that’s a bone just west of Detroit). Pottymouth is very excited that we’ve reaced Boston week and introduces us to New Guy. Patti takes Mr. Pottymouth’s sloppy seconds. For the Cubs, Pottymouth picks the guy who hit his first home run to Anthony Rizzo in the bleachers, and Patti thinks why not a jaguar? It’s a wrap for winter ball and plans are already in play for next year. Police Blotter continues to just get worse, and Patti swears a lot but its okay because she’s just quoting other people about the salary cap. Patti owes $10 in US Women’s Hockey money to Baltimore Safe Haven so far, and you can too.
