Fuck that bird in particular.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

I doubt the Reds are as good as they’ve looked, but the Pirates are definitely as bad as they look. The owner figured out he can make more money not paying for talent even with empty seats because of revenue sharing. He’s the Mike Brown of the MLB and the MLB does need to make him sell.

I’ll always be a fan. I won’t change teams. The 70s Pirates were great and we had season tickets so that will never leave my soul.

Just in these dark years, you just have to shut off baseball for awhile.

No. The Reds aren't as good as they've looked. Still have a few left to get healthy and return which will probably fuck up the mojo. And please don't compare any ower to Mike Brown. There is only one.

6-1. Is tonight the night this juggernaut, 9 runs a game so far offense, finally going to get shut down? Yes. That day will come. How they react is my interest. Long season. So far it's been fun.

Very good team there rat.

It's an eight or nine game sample size. That's 5% of the season. How can you call a team good based on that? You can't, but that doesn't stop you from making another stupid observation. The Sox have won six in a row, but you don't hear any person who understands baseball calling the Sox a good team after nine games. Outside of LA and maybe Houston, it will take at least a month to know anything, and even then, there are teams that have a hot April and May only to fade back to their reality.

Maybe.

Or maybe I was just trying to make rat feel good about his team so I agreed with him? Maybe I was just trying to say something nice?

You should try that sometime DS.

I'm still trying to figure out which Sox team DS is talking about. He changes teams more than I change bi polar meds. But I got past that. DS talking baseball is like goldie talking about sex. You're right. They are looking like a good team. Way early as I think we both figured we'd figure. But a fast start is nice. Much needed as history proves. Helps future ticket sales, even being capped at 12 right now. Peaks interest in an already crazy baseball town. Makes it fun. I don't see anyone claiming a World Series yet. If you are, you don't know baseball. I know baseball.

And remember. DS just previously said in the NFL, Dan Snyder is a worse owner than Mike Brown. He doesn't know football either.

I would never say that I am anywhere close to being as knowledgeable about baseball as you or someone like you, Rat.

Not sure if Covid has caused limited batting practice opportunities or not, but hitting stats are down.
