Best you can hope is that this is like 2015 and the Cubs come out of the gate like gangbusters in 2026, but this franchise doesn't have near the talent and the ownership doesn't have the want-to that they did a decade ago. Congrats to the Brewers, they were the better team from July onward.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

I love this time zone, but it's bullshit that we're still 2.5 hours from weird baseball.

You think Manfred is angrily explaining to a disinterested lackey that this game would be over already if they'd just use his idea?

Please don't bunt. The internet can't take it.

I hope you point out, as quickly as possible, that the most notable baseball player on the home team's claim to fame is having a large posterior.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

I hope they immediately hit a dinger so we don't have to watch somebody try and bunt on a 3-0 count again.

In every single episode, the Scooby Doo gang discover a human is behind the mystery, not ghosts or mummies or whatever. Yet they begin each new case believing the villain is a supernatural being. Every time. Not once do they say “maybe it’s an old man like last time”
