Nice images, blues.... Yount was one of my favorite all time players to have ever played the game. Have his whole career of baseball cards. Molitor was quite awesome too. I still miss the ball and mitt logo that the Brew Crew used to don.... Shame they did away with that. I can't root for them with these new unis. LOL, J/K. Actually, I'll be pulling for the Cards, so we can continue the Philly doormat theme: Bruins over the Flyers, then win the Cup Black Hawks over the Flyers, then win the Cup. Penguins over the Flyers, then win the Cup. Packers over the Eagles, then win the SB. Giants over the Phils, then win the WS Yanks over the Phils, then win the WS. There's plenty more... more than most other cities. And, heck, that's only the past what, 2 yrs? Sheesh. I probably missed somebody too.

Interesting to note that the top 9 teams in payroll are out of the playoffs The # 10 ranked Tigers take on the #13 Rangers while the #11 Cards are going against the #17 Brewers

Also how can you, as a beer fan, NOT root for a team called the Brewers?

Yup, money can't buy you a championship, especially if you don't spend it to make the greatest delta/improvement to the team. Note my earliest reaction to the trade: http://beerpal.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5802&SearchTerms=concerned

As a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates, very easily!......BACK TO THE AMERICAN LEAGUE....IMMEDIATELY!!!!......[:0][:(!][;)][xx(]..... P.S....Nyger Morgan behaved like a blithering idiot (pun intended) when he got that game winning hit against AZ...And Fats Fielder and Cryan Braun are the lead classless bunch of in-your-face HOLES on that team......I hate LaRussa with a passion, but, like in politics, St. Louis is the lesser of the evils...(sorry, Phish, but your boys are rapidly inching their way ever so closer to replacing the Braves as being the sports organization I would most love to see go down in a JET CRASH.....and if they keep up their asinine behavior, they will be.)..Again, can't emphasize this more.....BACK TO THE AMERICAN LEAGUE....NOW!!!!!!.....

Precisely!.....[:0][:D][:(!][:p].....

You think you have it bad, in the last 3 years, Forbes, SI and now just recently Grantland.com have all deemed Toronto the worst sports town in all of North America, some say even the world. We constantly fill arenas for mediocre teams and don't care if they win or lose(well to a certain degree)
