Season's greetings! It's the return of our Christmas special. Yes, "Impish or Admirable" and "Letters To Santa" make their long-awaited return. We also induct former NFL linebacker Chris Borland.

In this week's jam-packed show, the boys start out discussing key players returning from and going back to the IL. As we have entered the dog days of summer, this could affect certain clubs' playoff runs. With the recent sweep of the Yankees it's hard to see the Cardinals anything but contenders in the NL now. They are turning it up this second half. Year two of the Field of Dreams game is going down August 12. The boys preview that matchup. Then they have have some fun afterwards by starting a new tradition. They draft their own Field of Dreams roster and go head-to-head in a baseball simulation to see who has the better team. They then round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.

They say bad things happen in threes. @nyjets #takeflight #mekhibecton looks like he could be done for the year.  Thank you @profootballdoc for the great info. 
On a brighter note #hardknocks premieres tonight with @detroitlionsnfl and I will watch.  @yankees going to be without #mustachematt for awhile with fractured left foot after fouling ball off his foot.  Will know more today.  
@brooklynnets clown show.  This isn’t ending anytime soon. 
 #dianataurasi done for year with @phoenixmercury quad strain. 
Hey @wnba can you make it easier to find the @nyliberty games?  Thank you @myles112 for helping me out. Lost to @dallaswings last night with #sabrinaionescu pouring in 32 and now need to win last three games to make #wnbaplayoffs 
@bigten is going to make a lot of money in their new TV deal and the next #cfp expansion deal in 2026 is going to be legendary.  Billions.

Pottymouth survived both Red Sox at Yankee Stadium and the Dead at Citifield and tells us all about it. Game day descriptions include boyfriend highlights (fun to celebrate a Jeter homer at Yankee Stadium), and a little too much information theater. Matt Carpenter has found his swing, Whit Merrifield’s consecutive game streak ends in a wimper, and rookie Adley Rutschman’s pinch hit homer is the first since Trey. Will Soto make Pottymouth regret the City Connect jersey? Is $440million really not enough? We boldly predict Home Run Derby winners. So many draft-eligible players are children of professional ball players – nature or nurture?

Eve Rosenbaum joins the Os front office, and Nelson Cruz gets the nod to manage the Dominican Republic’s  World Baseball Classic team. In the labor report, the threat of an All Star Game strike gets the parties back to the negotiating table in the fight for higher wages for Dodger Stadium concession workers. Thousands of minor leaguers will be due part of a $185million class action settlement because of minimum wage and overtime violations.

We say “Just a little seething,” “His forearms outrank your situational power,” and “I too have children.”
