Episode 30: MLB All-Star Game Festivities, Jose Quintana trade, Midseason Review, Kid Rock for Senate
Happy MLB All-Star Game week!
After a week off, Jed Rigney and Jon Sumple return for Episode 30 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast to discuss the MLB All-Star Game festivities, including the Futures Game, Home Run Derby and ASG, as well as no-one showing up for the sweltering red carpet parade through the streets of Miami.
This week’s Headlines also include the first big-name trade (Jose Quintana moving across town from the White Sox to the Cubs), Michael Jordan joining Derek Jeter in an effort to seal the deal to purchase the Marlins, and Miguel Cabrera speaking out about the negative political atmosphere in his home country of Venezuela.
The Starting Nine takes the week off so Jed can breeze through (not) a midseason analysis of each team and the moves they should or shouldn’t make. What was supposed to be a 30-minute segment, turned into a deeper dive on each team, so get ready for the very best of Jed!
Extra Innings wraps the show with *yawn* brief commentary on the ESPYs which neither Jed or Jon watch (ever), a discussion on Carmelo Anthony being traded and LeBron James bolting to the Lakers after next season, Kid Rock (and all the other Rocks) running for political office, Blac Chyna threatening to sue rapper Ferrari if he shares nude pictures of her and Psy’s “Gangnam Style” losing it’s title as the most-watched video on YouTube to … tune in to find out!
