B. It turns out “slinging yang” means both “talking shit” and “selling rock.” I’ll leave it to you to guess what I’m referring to.

D. Today’s guest is Susan Slusser, the longtime Oakland A’s beat writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and a peer I’ve long admired. I was particularly riveted by her thoughts on Moneyball, and the portrayal of Art Howe.

E. The Bumpers link is here.

F. The iTunes link is here.

G. Enjoy.
