You get Cobb.

We're big in Belgium

Mr. McKitrick, after very careful consideration I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.

That whole story was so crazy. Seattle was supposed to get a team in 1973 - but because the A's moved from Kansas City to Oakland, a Missouri Senator named Stuart Symington (who almost became Kennedy's VP) threw a tantrum and started threatening baseball unless they put an expansion team in KC as soon as possible, so the 2 team expansion of 1969 with the Padres and Expos became a four team expansion adding the Royals and one more team - that was going to be in either Denver or Seattle. Neither city was ready for a team, but Seattle had almost lured the Cleveland Indians, so they got the nod. They were still pounding seats into Sick's Stadium on Opening Day, and literally stopped for the national anthem. Mickey Mantle, who championed having a team in Seattle once said it was the perfect name for the park. It was a total disaster. No water pressure after the 6th innings. Teams had to shower back at the hotel after the games. They ran out of money and their trucks were driving from Spring Training in Arizona to Seattle just days before the 1970 season started and parked in Utah waiting to find out if they were going to Seattle, Denver or Milwaukee. This is TWO DAYS before the season started when an auto dealer named Bud Selig bought the team. He wanted the colors to be Maroon and Navy blue like the minor league Brewers team, but it was so last-minute that they were wearing pilots uniforms with patches on them for Milwaukee at the start of the season. They just kept the blue and gold after that. Nuts, man, nuts.

Sorry, Leon Roberts ended up on the Mariners but a couple years after the Tigers traded him to Houston Houston got Danny Meyer, Terry Humphre, Mark Lemongello and Gene Pentz for Dave Roberts, Milt May and Jim Crawford. Sounds like a Scott Harris deadline trade to me

Danny Meyer (who always rolled his neck when he batted) was not a gifted defender. One of the worst outfielders in baseball. A lot like Nick Castellanos without the consistent power. Didn't the Tigers lose Leon Roberts in that draft too?

I still remember as a kid getting my first pack of 1977 baseball cards and seeing Toronto Blue Jays? Seattle Mariners? What the heck? Who are these teams? Al Ackerman didn't exactly cover the baseball expansion on the 8 minute sports update. We had no ESPN, I had no idea that those two new teams were coming.

Umpire needs to take a ****...........too many Chicago-style hot dogs.

Congratulations on your division title, Guardians. It's adorable.

Who starts Game 1? Reese Olson? Seriously, who starts Game 1?

I am not on the air Sautrday, but I am the Program Director and I can do whatever I want. So I am going to make sure that Centerfield by Fogerty plays before or during the game. And if they win Saturday, I will play that song before EVERY playoff game.

I'll make sure to play Centerfield by John Fogerty at the start of my on-air shift. It worked on Tuesday. Maybe that's the answer.

Pinch hitting for your best hitter might do the trick !

This idea that AJ Hinch is untouchable should be flushed down the toilet after Game 2. Brutal performance.

This game

Caldwell was outstanding Monday through Saturday. His teams were almost always competitive and prepared. But his in-game coaching was subpar. Always his downfall. The Green Bay Hail Mary play was a perfect example.

Well they will be - one way or another.

SCORE SOME ****IN' RUNS, MAN.

Only us old folks will get this one.

THERE IS NO TOMORROW

DING ! All sports should adopt a 90-second rule. If you can't determine anything within 90 seconds then it's too close to overturn. Period.

Angels fired Ron Washington. Man, he's gonna miss out next year when Anthony Rendon comes back and plays with unbridled joy for the game. Is Rendon the worst contract in baseball history? I'd say Jordan Zimmermann is up there, but at least that guy TRIED to play.
