but you just can't be trusted if you're going keep walking 3 guys a game

Is it stupid that the rays, yanks, and Red Sox have to fight through the same bracket branch while a bunch of inferior (by record, WAR…) AL teams get their own little nursery bracket?
Nicklaus Gaut

I mean, this year it's just especially silly
we're at least conditioned to having the general junkiness in the Central Divisions
1:48
but with the AL-West's ascension to mediocrity, it puts a really fine point on the playoff system

Good afternoon Nick.  Thanks for doing these chats, as always.  In a 5x5, AL-only, keeper league, my OF is Springer, Rafaela, McNeil, Meckler, and Callahan (Vierling, Carpenter, and Donovan are all on the IL).  Is it a wise move to pick-up Robert and bench Callahan?  I have the hammer, so I can outbid any other owner.

100% drop that hammer
1:50
big believer in Robert's value ROS
think you'll be getting a huge upgradde, just in time
And, as always, you're welcome and thanks for stopping by

Did you just type "ascension to mediocrity" with a straight face? Ascending to mediocrity in that division is like climbing a mountain in Florida (where there aren't any). What did you think of the Stan Kroekne news?

Perhaps you've never heard of a little place called Britton Hill, FL???
3450 ft above sea level!
1:52
oh wait
I meant 345 ft
"Hill" should've tipped me off
and yes, I typed it with a straight face!
I'm nothing if not perfectly deadpan
1:53
don't ask a STLian to trust Stan Kroenke
1:54
but, in a vacuum, anythings gotta be better than Moreno
unless the Angels are a cursed franchise
which I can't yet take off the table
1:55
But if I were an Angels fan, I'd be ecstatic
Will from Westport
1:56
The curse of Trigger [Gene Autry's horse]!!
Nicklaus Gaut
1:56
Like I said, it can't be taken of the table!
1:57
I read a lot of baseball books when I was a kid, and man, are there a lot of Angels ownership shenanigans
always been hilarious
alright, y'all
it's about that time
IE: I need to pickup the young monsters
let's check the temp first!
1:58
97 with a 106 heat index
sunny with no wind
perfecto
damn you, El Niño

Gene Autrey’s horse was Champion
Roy Rogers had Trigger
