I found a spray bottle of some kinda lavender oil or something in our room, and thought, “Huh, The Wife must have left this out to spray a bit and give the room a nice fresh scent. I should spray a few puffs.” I don’t know what the hell this stuff is, but more than a half spray was too much, and now I’m choking. But everywhere else in the house has kids running around, so my options are to try to work in that, or to work in this well-intentioned cloud of death.
Joe compared Javy to the Beatles tonight — couldn't decide which one.
"Who," Baez said?
The Beatles.
"Maybe if I see them. I'm terrible at names."
Told that's Maddon's latest comp, Baez said:
"That means I'm doing something good."
But you don't know who they are.
"No."

Schwarber will have his buddy Mike (who throws to him in winter) pitch to him in HR Derby.
Baez is having his older brother Gadiel (who also throws BP to him in winter) do it.
