For the Giants I want their offseason to be:

• Signing Kenley Jansen to be closer
• Signing Mark Melancon to be closer
• Signing Greg Holland to be closer, or if the FO is worried about him coming back from TJ, a setup guy.
• Signing Andrew Miller to be closer

If Andrew Miller got signed by the Giants, I would hop right back on that bandwagon and I wouldn't even care.

I know! The fact that it's gone makes it easier to hate him.

Speaking of baseball players with bad opinions about stuff, Christian Yelich definitely talked poo poo about athletes who knelt during the anthem, but no one knew about it because no one cares about anything that any Marlin other than Giancarlo Stanton ever does.

Once I had a dream about Bryce Harper, in which he asked me to sit on his lap. Then when I did, he wrapped his arms around me, looked over my shoulder, and browsed the internet on his phone.

[Buchholz] was terrible in the first half of the season. Got moved into the bullpen, and was decent for the last two months of the season. But trusting him to be anything is a fool's errand.

I was seeing rumors that the Marlins were going after him, and I'm really super glad that they didn't sign TWO pitchers with known consistency/sudden-onset-terribleness issues. Jeff Locke is going to give me enough heart attacks.

I moved away from South Florida and my beloved Marlins in 2009; however, the team I grew up loving didn't love me anymore, so I said that if my team wasn't loyal to me, I owed them nothing in return. I asked around, and signed a 5-year deal with my buddy to cheer for the LA Dodgers.

When that deal expired, I signed a new 4 year deal to cheer for the Pirates, a scrappy up-and-coming team with a lot of heart and fun players. However, their window is rapidly closing, so I elected to opt-out of my deal and test the waters.

Pirates, you're fuckin' out. I'm fuckin' in. Let's do this:


Please submit offers as to why I should cheer for your team. Requirements:

-Not the Braves or Yankees

-Preference given to NL teams who actually have their pitchers hit

Submit your offers below or via PM to my agent, forums poster Skaboomizzy. Game on.

Join us Mets fans for the following reasons:

1) The Mets face the Marlins like a hundred trillion times a season, so you get to watch the team that spurned you get annihilated a lot.
2) Noah Syndergaard's Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/Noahsyndergaard/status/826626687915823104

3) You want pitchers who hit? We got pitchers who hit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMFvT579ovI

(I almost linked the Bartolo dinger GIF here too... :sigh: )

4) They are natural enemies of the Barves and Yankees.
5) Batflips are welcome.



6) Despite god-like pitching and a burgeoning offense, the Mets are still not good enough to be vehemently hated by most normal people.
7) Curtis Granderson might literally be the second coming of Jesus, so being on whatever side he's on is probably a good idea.


I was going to be all "It's actually Yoelkis :eng101: " but then I Googled it and saw three different spellings for it, so who loving knows. Either way, the Céspedes eyebrow is a hell of a gene. They both look like they belong in Dungeons of Dredmor.
