By Phil Hecken, joined by Brinke Guthrie Today, I’m joined by Brinke Guthrie, who’s probably more familiar to you as “=bg=” and who’ll be assisting me with the first portion of today’s post.

Hopefully, if you have a mom, you’re spending this special day with her. If not, well, you can always turn to MLB, where it’s that special time of year once again. If you’re not watching or going to a game, but you do have a . . . → Read More: Mom’s Day Open Thread By Phil Hecken About two weeks ago, the Godfather of Uni Watch well-respected and never opinionated Rick “Ricko” Pearson approached me with an idea for a weekend post.
