Ah shit. :cry: I'll just channel all my sour grapes into Mets schadenfreude. :D

Meet the Mets
Greet the Mets
Step right up and beat the Mets
Cover your head
Prepare for the cries
Guaranteed they can't hit for their lives

Found out that I get mlb.tv for free via my T-Mobile plan so that's cool.
The Giants are going to lose 100 games so that's not cool.

The Padres do have the best farm system in the league right now, so I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the post season this or next year.

Nice. I wish my apartment would have forced into our contract "given" us that instead of HBO. Oh well.

Hey, Angels won! 0.500!

Haha.

Outside of Allen, the Angels bullpen doesn't look bad at all. I think Allen will be better than last year though. The offense looks pretty bad without Ohtani and Upton. Harvey did pretty good.

Fantasy baseball, official sport of indie dad rock. Ira Kaplan strikes me as the guy in your league who just drafts everyone on his favorite team.

Used to kind of like the Mariners (despite being division rivals) because of Felix and Ichiro.

But Dipoto changed that. Can't like a team that hires that dude and keeps him employed after the jerky stuff he's done.

They'll fall apart. Just like the playoff team he built with the Angels (inherited I should say...he burned the farm just to miss the playoffs that year too).

This is year 3 of recovery from his dumb managing. He tried to destroy a franchise with the best player and quit over some trivial garbage.

I have much more respect for the A's and they'll end up better than the Mariners over the season.

Angels and Mets had similar starts last year too...didn't go well.

Anyway, Angels aren't terrible and kind of fun to watch. Good enough for rebuilding. Goodwin has been an excellent pickup.
