Imagine wanting to see the boring Guardians in the playoffs instead of seeing the Twins either break or continue the funniest streak in sports

Consider: my team hasn't won since before the Cold War and I would really like them to win.

I want to see the Guardians win the World Series because it’ll be hilarious watching all these dipshit Wahoo diehards begrudgingly buy merch for a new name they hate.

The game was fun yesterday and the stadium has a lot of great concessions now, but hooo boy were there still a ton of pasty white Ohioans proudly wearing racist caricatures.

yeaaaah that's pretty much the primary problem of going in person. The org has done a good job of completely phasing out Wahoo but it's gonna take a while, if ever, for people to actually stop wearing it.

False, your team won a playoff game in 2022 and only has a two game losing streak.

It stands for Get Out Mariners, you Suck. They used to say GOMYS but it wasn't quite as catchy and the Y was dropped. You say it when you actively dislike them. It's why mostly Mariners fans say it - they are a well documented group of masochists.

Are there any teams due for a relocation? We need a second team in Canada so the Blue Jays cant hurt an entire country on a yearly basis.

Besides the obvious benefit to not being in the tax putting a ton of extra money in the owner's pocket, they'll also get a higher compensatory draft pick when Ohtani walks

I would have been shocked if the Angels didn't do this since it came out that they were so close to the luxury tax limit and being over it hurts them so much in the upcoming years way more than the couple hundred thousand in taxes. I mentioned it months ago that the Angels have been paying Stassi on the 60 day IL even though he isn't injured as he deals with family stuff. It's honestly out of character for them to not have done it sooner.
