    Yep, posted about that in the useless "Other Sports" MLB thread, thanks for reminding me about this one.

    Hope he stays healthy and kicks ass, MLB needs superstars. I also hope the Angels lose every game against the Stros for the rest of his career.

    Watch out for Jared Walsh with the Halos too. They've ditched his 2-way career because they like him enough at 1B. They're building a pretty solid team.

    Is Tony LaRussa managing again because he saw Dusty Baker managing in the playoffs last year?

    He figures that with the Stros catching all the heat, nobody will care if he gets caught cheating again.

    It is somewhat ironic that the Nationals can’t even play a game due to an outbreak, the NCAA championship is about to be played with minimal fans, and here’s the Rangers simply ignoring all precaution... all because they couldn’t do it last year.

    Rangers money grabbing while they can. They know no one will want to watch once they’re 40 games below 500. For an organization unmoved by the outfall from Harvey, color me unsurprised they pull this off.

    They're a joke of an organization, truly.
