2021 MLB Regular Season thread

Rendon got injured rehabbing from a separate injury on the other leg; that report last month about how terrible the Angels' support staff is was right on the money.

 

Did you read it in The Athletic? #TyingItAllTogether

 

The Ryan-Ventura thing was a HUGE fucking deal in 1993, when most of us saw/read about it on the 2:30 SportsCenter or in the next day's paper. Can you imagine that today w/Twitter?

 

God, Harrelson was a fucking hack. One of the coolest moments in MLB history, and his fanboi bullshit wouldn’t let him enjoy the moment because his precious White Sox player got beat up by an old man.

Imagine him on the call in 1960 if Mazeroski homered off the Sox.

 

Don’t look now, but the Phillies are one-half game behind the Mets after a comeback win over the Washington Baseball Team. As usual, the NL East is garbage.

 

Hell.

 

I'd love to see an MLB throwback weekend when teams where uniforms with their old-time nicknames or pre-franchise move names. New York Highlanders, New York Giants, Atlanta Rustlers, Los Angeles Supurbas, Minnesota Senators, Cleveland Naps, Milwaukee Pilots, Baltimore Browns, Boston Pilgrims, Detroit Wolverines, Red and White Stockings, Chicago Orphans, San Francisco Gothams, Pittsburgh Alleghenys, Cleveland Spiders, St. Louis Perfectos, Washington Expos, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Houston Colt 45s. Seattle could wear Rainiers uniforms. The Phillies, Rockies, Padres, Jays, Angels and A's have never changed their name, but the Rockies could wears Bears unis, the Jays could wear Maple Leafs, their long-time MiLB nicknames.

I'm sure I didn't think of everybody. I guess Texas would be the Senators too. Kansas City could be the A's and Oakland could be the Oaks, or KC could be the Blues. The Angels could be the Stars.

 

And for those outside the Bay area, Fosse's broadcast partner is Glenn Kuiper, brother of Duane Kuiper, who has missed a lot of this season in the Giants booth. And eff cancer.
