Grab your coffee and finish making your Bacon and Eggs, it’s time for the Sunday Edition of The Dongers Club.  I am writing up today’s article while listening to Free Bird, so take that for whatever it’s worth. Either we’re hitting the full nuts today with an EPIC Dongers Club where everyone in the Dongers Club section homers or we are like Jenny in Forrest Gump … Today’s Sunday slate has a curve ball in it, we don’t have Coors Field to worry about but there is a juicy 4:05 PM game on the Tilt Slate between the Braves and Mets.  The great part here is that it features Spencer Strider against Jacob deGrom, so don’t take too long of an afternoon nap because that one is must see.
