Im super excited to be a Dodgers fan. Rather, I’m super excited to be a fan of literally any team that isn’t the Angels any more.

I'm trying very hard. I don't know if I'm strong enough. I think I would rather just retreat into my shell and never watch baseball again.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.

it's genuinely not the worst thing to take a break for a season, see how you feel. i had to remove myself from interacting with soccer for a bit because it was loving up my life in more than the normal ways

The Guardians are already one of the cheapest teams in the league and they just spent 4 million on another year of Austin "has not batted over .200 since 2019" Hedges for leadership.

Bernie can still win The Mariners can still get Ohtani, they just need to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers. The deal’s not over, it just got a little more expensive is all.

Why are we paying 4 million dollars for Austin Hedges.

Oh I don't need a season to decide that I'm out on the Halos. It's loving sad, a cursed franchise.

It's true, no one gives hugs like Adley, which sounds exactly like what you need right now. Plus you have ample experience with an owner who should be opening his wallet and isn't, so you'll fit right in.

Glasnow is a guy you give like a 1 year 25 million dollar contract to. Not give up actual assets for.

Game 7 of the 2016 World Series was great because we got to see Aroldis Chapman get his rear end whipped and blow the biggest save of his life, but then the Cubs still won and broke their curse and he wasn't the guy on the mound for it, which was cool.

I can't wait for the Cubs to bring Bauer back from overseas.
