Ep. 77 - Bridegrooms, Orphans and Perfectos! Oh My!

In Chapter One this week, the Houston Rockets' unprecedented winning streak; a big loss by Oklahoma City; and which is more boring - a blowout basketball game or a blowout baseball game? In Chapter Two, Bridegrooms, Orphans and Perfectos, oh my! The gang takes a look at National League team name changes through the decades. In Chapter Three, our review of "Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson," the New York Times produced documentary on the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show incident now streaming on Hulu.

Errata - The Astros, not the Rockets, were accused of sign stealing. Jim Rooker did not pitch on the Pirates' World Series winning team in 1971 -- he was a Royal that year. Brooklyn got the nickname "Robins" from their manager, Wilbert Robinson. The reference to "When Doves Cry," was intentional -- the reference to "Off the Wall" was not.
