Just note that you’ll have to watch it in the mirror since otherwise they run third-to-first and it will gently caress you up.

The Finns play something they call baseball, but it is something else. Something sinister...

I believe sometimes creeks and streams are in play and an outfielder has to scramble into the water to get the ball...

So it's got that going for it.

Edit: ofc, they're not going to be playing there in the next few months, tho.

Me, I'm gonna watch that Willie Mays documentary on... either HBO max or Apple+, one or the other.

Actually new pay-for-checks are no more. I imagine they'll be rolling back the existing ones once they can locate a legal department to tell them how much liability scamming a bunch of people out of eight bucks is gonna create.

Altuve started the playoffs 0-25, a fan ran on the field to give him a hug and tell him that he loved him and wanted a picture and Altuve batted over .300 after that.

He wasn't fired, his contract was up, but he won a WS and wasn't able to get more than a one year offer which is just insulting

People say a lot of poo poo. Stearns is Luhnow's protege and Crane can throw insane money at him. Or maybe he names Dusty GM and I put my head through a wall

Honestly, Click couldn't assemble a team to go undefeated in the postseason and well that's unacceptable.

Click built the greatest postseason bullpen of all time - Rays mentality all the way, Crane doesn't want that I guess.

Yeah but I thought he was still under contract, they just changed his title.

Yankees should promote Cashman to something fancy and hire Click imo.
