What a :censored:ing joke lmao. People can dunk on the Coyotes, but at least they have a set home.

 

The A's are just going to be a traveling circus ripped right out of the 50's, which is even more pathetic. The Los Angeles Buccaneers of baseball, everybody.

At least the A's will be a traveling circus with working plumbing in their clubhouse and at least a 78% reduction in opossums in the walls.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if Seidler’s free spending was largely because he had something chronic, knew he was going to die, and threw all his cash into the ball club on his way out. If that’s the case, there’s likely to be a fire sale happening that’ll make Jeffrey Loria raise an eyebrow.

So, by presser in Times Square, obviously that means that they could only afford to pay the Naked Cowboy to read a piece of paper.

Wait … who exactly is America’s team, here?

Yep. Because equating Penn State with anything related to restoring right and justice is galaxy brain-level logic.

Amazing how quickly the city can whip up and approve this piece of meaningless legislation yet it and Alameda County have been stalling and dragging their feet on legislation that would have actually accomplished this for decades.

Well, either Brett Rypien played his way out of a backup job or Stafford's going to be out for a bit.

If the Sharks and Barracuda changed places, would anyone notice?

Juventus changed their logo, and now they suck is the contex

They're second in Serie A.  If they changed the logo back in 2006 when they were relegated for match fixing then there'd be something to this.  Not in this case.

This makes it official that Scott Stapp has turned his back on the Marlins.

This is the DUMBEST reason for a design element I've heard in quite a while.

Uhhh…

"Never been done before." So... bodysuits?

 

 

Tom O’Grady’s finally getting his transparent side panels!

It’s made all the more stupid that the team’s named after a freaking body of water and could just have easily been the Tampa Rays if not to appease Little Brother Across the Bridge.

I guess it’s better than the other half dozen where you’re in if you cut a big enough check.

If I wasn't a mod, I probably would have replied with " and you while we're at it", but I am a mod so I didn't.

Oh come now, don’t let that pesky mod title stop you.

"Ass" is exaggerating it, I think, but they're very uninspired.

Hmmm... Wavy white wordmark on blue background with a hand-drawn basketball-like shape?

Side note: is this tweet from who I think it is @infrared41@IceCap@CS85?

Yep, that's @Still MIGHTY in his professional sportswriting glory.

They and the Astros along with a few other teams in the past (namely the stupid Cardinals and stupid Giants of the early 2010's) have me convinced that some teams are just better at playoff baseball. People say this is luck and there is an element of BABIP at play and there is, but I also don't see why it couldn't be a skill that some teams have and some teams don't (the Dodgers, for example)

From years of watching the Dodgers lay eggs, I think for the most part playoff baseball requires an ability to harness and channel emotion. The Dodgers, for example, are a team full of talent but at the same time is a team too stoic and professional. You need more Schwarbers and Harpers out there throwing their bats 30 feet as opposed to the Dodgers only bringing themselves to do the Freddie flailing arm dance.

Fitting that the team named after an actual law enforcement agency is this year's Team Justice™.

I'd say Barstow is where this league is at the moment, but the only reason that won't happen is there's not an arena big enough out there. 

Come now.  This is the AFL 3.0 we're talking about.  Just shove a field in the abandoned outlet center and call it a day.

Seeing where this league is going, I'd say that Bakersfield is probably the most appropriate venue for the California team.

We knew the Dodgers starting rotation was held together with tape but holy f***.

That's one loud, obnoxious banner.  Fitting for the organization.
