Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I've seen like 10% of the show, but "Buddy Holly" is a thing that just lives in my head forever... 130
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There are several record albums (I'm old) that feel like books I haven't finished yet, if you know what I mean. Ornette Coleman's "Dancing in Your Head". I know a lot of the turns from at least the first half of the Koln Concert, but good lord. OK! Sorry... 070
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Nobody uses the phrase "oppo taco". Come on. Might try to pitch MLB on having me make their between-iinning slop next season. Let me know if you've got a guy over there! ok. 170
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Prince is kind of famously known for just using whatever stock settings came with the synth / drum machine he was using at the time. Dude was just cranking it out - surprisingly un-fussy for a guy who was certainly fussy in many ways. Not sure where this particular reputation comes from! 100
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"Designed to break your heart" - boy howdy! I will, for the moment, keep hope alive... 110
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I'm going to end up owing yins points on this thing! This is gold. 121
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 30/09/2026That's not a bad idea! Some kind of real janky "sports book and buffet" kind of thing. 130
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I turned down a sponsorship opportunity for sports gambling ads on the fake baseball show. I could certainly use the money, but they can get bent. 260
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We will agree to disagree! He certainly made some clunkers, but just out of curiosity, what was "When Doves Cry" derivative of? The famous "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" guitar solo is kind of funny if you like Prince, but I can see disliking the whole thing. OK! 100

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I have softened, as one does - and, good lord, the 2024 White Sox... They've suffered enough! 030
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Haha! Broheim, I am 100% down for a Chicago "Subway Series" - and due to Accidents of Fate, I will not be rooting for the White Sox then. In the meantime, the rag-tag 2026 White Sox should DO THE THING - I am behind them! 010
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I am prepared to root for the Chicago White Sox for maybe the first time in my life. I don't want to get too deep into it, but I distinctly remember holding my head in my hands, saying it was a nightmare when they won the WS. This feels like hope for the future of humanity. Thank you. 3130
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 28/09/2026What the fuck kind of hot-ass bullshit is this take about? I love you! 190
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I would edit this post if I knew how to do it! The point stands! Thank you. 030
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It seems strange how much of 70s and 80s popular culture "rebels" were obsessed with breaking the speed limit on US Highways. Thank you. (Full disclosure - I can't drive 55, either - might be ticketed for going too slow! I'll be at the Big Rapids Airport later in the week...) 190

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 16/09/2026P.S. I am certainly open to "opportunities" - let me know if you think I'd be a good fit for whatever it is you need done. I did not mean for that to sound sinister. Thank you. 040
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Dudes, what is going on over at LinkedIn these days? I keep getting automated emails about folks challenging me to some kind of "Wordle"-like puzzle game. (The last time I was on LinkedIn, I got into a fight with a retired judge from Tennesee in the comment section of the New Yorker. Thank you.) 141

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I remember this show (vaguely) - didn't know it lasted 6 seasons! The staff at a hotel restaurant, was that the premise? Good lord, forgot all about it until this post! 000
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 21/08/2026By the way, if you're in Chicago, the folks at the little Post Office on Montrose / Damen are like a ray of sunshine. I've never had a bad experience there - they are the least-angry USPS employees I've encountered in decades. 2110
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 20/08/2026There are more pressing issues afoot, but I feel like we should fund the USPS to the hilt. Walking into a post office should be like walking into a futuristic Busby Berkeley fever dream of efficiency and class. 3173
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The "Amadues" video was a banger. Still need to get caught up with the channel - need to bump them up in my ADHD "watch later" playlist. Good lord. Feel better! 110
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Mr. Kalb has a cadence reminiscent of Bob Uecker. Last season one of the Cubs auction winners was pretty good, with one of the sleepiest voices I've ever heard. I made a note of his name - need to find a clip of that. 000
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 16/08/2026This dude (Phillies auction winner to call an inning - Lewis Kalb) is outstanding. Give him a contract! youtu.be/fx-Q-SuF8cI?...youtu.bePhillies fan Lewis Kalb calls an inning on the radio and fans across social media were loving it! 🎙️YouTube video by MLB 120

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 30/07/2026When I went deep on Guitar Hero over a long weekend (I was in my 30s), it occurred to me that something like this should exist, and would be very helpful! (I am a ham-fisted guitar player, but I get by...) 250
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I don’t know if the Joe Frank website is still around, but I am in possession of what I believe is a nearly complete archive of his stuff. So great! 210
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The lodge at Devil's Head was a wonderland (I haven't been back in 20 years, so I don't know if it is still a wonderland). 010
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I went to see the movie "Weiner-Dog" with Mrs. King a few years ago. She dumped a half-empty tub of popcorn over my head when I laughed at a terrible thing that happened near the end of that movie. No spoilers! 150
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I get text reports / photos from around the world - dive bars in St. Louis, at a museum in Boston, etc. My biggest fear is that I will see one and freak out and the person wearing the merch will be disgusted and hate me. Thank you. 020
Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Thank you, STREET TEAM! I still have yet to see Sleep Baseball merch in the wild. It's gonna happen! 120

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I always love Milwaukee. It's like the "Canada of Chicago"! It's right up the road, it rules, the Milwaukee Art Museum is great, etc.! Finally tried The Vanguard, and good lord those are some great sausages. Hats off to the great city of Milwaukee, USA! 0100

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 12/07/2026This is classic sleaze! It's like a Toxic Masculinity problem presented as a Three Stooges routine. It's the blackest comedy. OK! 040

Mr. King @sleepbaseball.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Is there a baseball stat that takes into account hits (etc.) against a position player pitching for the opposing team because of a blow-out? I'm sure there is. (Totally unrelated to today's Cubs game) 020
