@Toucan Sam there’s only so much baseball talk allowed in one of @Behr ’s threads so I’ll answer here:

USCjr
Virginia
Or
LSU

before you get too confused, that other baseball league is currently dead to me

Allowed??

I don't keep him around, according to TFG he's harder to get rid of than the herp.

@malinoisvol the Oakland Athletics are off to a poor start this season. Their record is a dismal 3-13 at the moment.

Considering they are a AA team playing in the bigs, that is not terrible.

They should have a park at the Howard terminal by now.

steroids - cheap owners and a poor farm system

steroids - cheap owners and a poor farm system

Giambi and potentially Tejada taking steroids aren’t any part of the problem. The excellent farm system kept them afloat and fine for over 15 years. The cheapskate owner though is a POS and has zero care about the fans or paying to keep quality players

Canseco and McGuire started the downfall with the steroids -- Odd thing about all this is the Rays are cheap too, but somehow manage to win with the farm system every year despite losing players the same way

Canseco and McGwire was 33 years ago. Good grief, that’s ancient and has less than zero to do with anything this century. Oakland played the Rays game for over a decade before the Rays started making noise in the regular season. And just like Oakland, the Rays have absolutely nothing to show for their efforts in the postseason. The A’s won the division in ‘00, ‘02, ‘03, ‘06, ‘12, ‘13, and ‘20. They were a wild card team ‘01, ‘14, ‘18, and ‘19. But again, they’re cheap and can’t win in the postseason just like Rays are doing now.

Nope. My brother is. Me, I've always been sort of a Yankees fan. I haven't followed baseball in decades, tho.

I havent really since that strike wiped out half a season and the WS - to much roster turnover and wus injuries have taken over MLB

Braves and Brewers best in baseball right behind Tampa!

Braves best in baseball. Matt Olson 1 HR away from tying Andrew Jones single season franchise record...on its way

This kind of talk isn’t allowed in my baseball thread. Braves talk gotta go somewhere else…


(And I’m not putting this in blue font, but if you actually need it in blue font to get that this is a joke, well, God bless you)

21 division titles and two wild card berths in 33 years. Only two WS. Wild.


But as an A’s fan, I can’t talk
