I used to work with Kelly Thame's mom! Awesome lady. She retired years ago though.

Another fun fact, Anthony Bonner's father was a cab driver when I was in high school and Bonner was still in the NBA. He said he didn't need to do it for money anymore but he enjoyed it and wouldn't quit. I was in high school at the time and he drove me home from night near the CWE to Florissant so I was able to have some nice conversations with him.

Chris Bosio and John Lackey throwing some PED shade on Thames, without actually saying it directly.

Re: Eric Thames
It's just like when Cecil Fielder went to Japan then came back to hit 50 homers with the Tigers. Maybe Matt Adams should go play overseas for a few years then come back.
