Crick's Picks: MLB - 6/3/25
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.... CAN WE PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE PLAY SOMETHING BESIDES BASEBALL?!?!?! Yesterday very well may have been the WORST INDIVIDUAL DAY I'VE EVER HAD since I started releasing "Crick's Picks"!! I've gotta go "Back to the Drawing Board" when it comes to the Diamond, because it's been DEVASTATING the last few days!!

However, I know some of you are LOYAL TO THE VERY END & I appreciate that more than y'all could ever know... BUT... There's a FINE LINE between being LOYAL and being FOOLISH, so REAL TALK....
