The company is awful? I notice you didn't use that adjective when talking about the Yankees doing it so I am guessing it's awful because the team you support is doing it?

I really dislike the look. I hated it when the Yankees did it and I hate it that the Sox are going to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 The Mets and Cubs had "AIU" patches on their sleeves for the 2 games they played in Tokyo to open up 2000...In a related story, Mike Mussina is still feeling the effects of the Jet-Lag from that trip almost 4 years ago, and he claims it is still affecting his performance...

SouthSidePride Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yeah, I'm really unphased by this. I would actually welcome an attempt to do this in America, because it would be the last straw before everyone rises up against Mr. Selig.
