MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

If anyone wants to argue that sports fans aren't geeks, I'd suggest launching your argument by pointing to variant caps and uniforms.

[Butcher]

Those Padres-themed home run derby caps make my eyeballs bleed.

The Cards just can't catch a break.

That's a shame.

[Butcher]

Twins and Braves are both 0-8 to start the season. That's kind of shitty.

And Olivera (sp?) got arrested for some domestic violence this morning.

Damn...and the Sox just keep winning.

[Butcher]

Damn...and the Sox just keep winning.

As long as they keep playing the Twins, they'll go undefeated from here on out.

 

But their pitching staff is pretty solid -- gotta give them that.

[funkster]

They've played the A's and the Twins, not much competition there.  We'll see how they stand up to better teams.

[Butcher]

The White Sox now have the same fucking record as us.

[1984]

If there's a Cubs-White Sox World Series, Chicago will slide off and sink into Lake Michigan.

On this date last year, these eleven teams were all .600 or better: Tigers, Rockies, Royals, Mets, Braves, Red Sox, Dodgers, Cubs, Cardinals, Rays, Padres. Only five (Royals, Mets, Dodgers, Cubs, Cardinals) ended the season with winning records. It's just a weeee bit early to care too much about the standings.

At this point my only interest/concern is my team. I'm putting the Sox on the pay no mind list until we face them. Getting Hawk out of the booth for 1/2 of their games has tempered my hatred toward those hillbillies quite a bit, believe it or not.

Take that back.
