  1. Liked the Florida Marlins name better.

    Watched Back to the Future 2 the other day and laughed with Michael J. Fox was more shocked about there being a team in Miami than the Cubs beat Miami in 2015 in the movie. So the new name change reminded me of the movie. Not to big on the new uniforms either, but their new stadium looks nice with retractable roof and all.

    Heard the Crane guy is ok with the move now as long as there is compensation from MLB. I know I don't want them to switch AL is much tougher League. Not sure what kind of compensation Crane is looking for??? Maybe #1 draft pick for next 10 years?

    There is also improved chances at the playoffs. 6 in the NL Central, there would be 5 in the AL West.

    Improved as far as number of teams. But when you have Pittsburg in you division that would help. Would have to play Rangers and Angels who aren't afraid to spend money and the A's and M's who usually have very solid young pitching.

    That's crazy how an Umps blown call can cost a team 4 runs.

    5-0 Cards mid 4

    They should make just about everything reviewable at this point in the season. Just need an ump in the booth to review all calls and buzz them down on the field if something needs to be overturned. Just need to get the calls right.
  4. Enjoying the latest run they've been on. They are a lot of fun to watch. Always pulled for them because they were a Texas team but didn't really become a fan until Nolan played for them. Enjoyed the slugfests they used to have in the mid 90s with their big bats. Seems like Nolan has instilled some toughness to this ballclub and gotten them to play the game as it should be. Not something you see much anymore with the younger generations being so spoiled and over sensitive. Go getem Rangers.
  5. I am pulling for the Cardinals. Usually like watching La Rusa's teams. Like to watch Pujols swing it and think he is a fun guy to root for. Plus the fact that Berkman is with them now gives me another reason to pull for them. That way if the Rangers don't win it at least Berkman will get a ring. I also like those Cardinals uniforms.  ???
  6. Heard on Espn that he told the other management that he thought they needed a new voice in the clubhouse. So I guess it was a mutual parting. He did a great job there, and heck the won 90 despite falling apart in Septemeber. They just ran into a little bad luck and some injuries. I don't see too much wrong in Boston, tinker with a few things and the train will be fine. Do wish Francona the best, he seems like a very fine and and great manager.
