BTW, are you saying "Gotta keep up" as in we've gotta keep up (like you're an Angel fan)?  Or as in "Gotta keep up" with my A's, as in you're an A's fan, Jas?  You're SoCal, so hopefully it's the former.


Just gotta figure out whether I need to talk **** to you or not!   ;)

Well I was an Angels fan growing up (Wally World!) but when Big Mac entered the league I also started rooting for the A's and jumped off the Angel wagon when they dumped Wally.  I always root for the Angels to do good and was just as excited for their world title as any die-hard fan.  I still root for the Halos, but the A's get my loyalty in that matchup.  Since Mac retired, I really don't have 1 team I'm die-hard about.  I root for the A's, Angels, Cubs, Yankees, Braves and Cards to do well...as well as anyone playing the Dodgers.   ;D

Geez...  Really got your bases covered there, eh Jason?!  (no pun intended)

Good chance you'll win the World Series this year.  Well, one of your bajillion star-studded teams anyway...

So like did America even like qualify for the baseball in this years olympics????
I know that Australia won the silver medal.
Not bad for a country without a national league ;D
The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

Don't even ask.   :-[

Yeah, we didn't even freaking qualify for the Olympics, in the sport that we created, which is dubbed our "National Pastime".  Go figure...

Of course, one or two more Olympics from now, we may be in the exact same boat with our Basketball team as well.   ::)

Congrats on the Silver though Hemish.  That was a pretty outstanding achievement there for a country not really known for it's baseball.   8)

True.  Well, I've explained the love for the A's and Angels.  With the Cubs, well it's hard not to root for those guys.  You always want them to win.  Big fan of Wood and Prior also.  With the Cards, that's where Big Mac was traded to and I'm a huge fan of Edmonds (used to work w/ his aunt), Pujols and Rolen.  The Braves are my best friend's team, so I root for them (more passingly than the other teams.)  And really love the tradition and mystique that surrounds the Yankees.  Big fan of a lot of the legendary pinstripers as well.  Obviously I'm a Giambi fan (ex-Athletic) and big A-Rod fan too.

Didn't I see Graeme LLoyd, and ex-MLBer pitching for the Aussies?

Also have to wonder which Cuban National team member is going to try defecting after the games are over.

 :-[

If I had kept him on my Fantasy Team, he would have continued to struggle (notice how Stewart went on the DL this year, the curse of Jeff's Team).

I did it for the good of the Twins, sacrificing myself in the process... you did notice he was 3-5 when I dropped him?  Now he's CY Young material.

I give and I give for my team... it's not like I just jump on the bandwagon of whichever hometown team is the hottest like some folks from tropiCAL locations.   ::)

Too little too late Scotty my boy.  I could bench my whole starting lineup for 5 days straight and you still wouldn't win.

Your ass is mine.

EDIT:  In fact, I'm toying with the idea of not even putting the 9 players out there the last week of September just to prove it to you.  We'll see if you're even within 100-200 points.

See Nataku?  You don't have to take that Johan Santana gloating from him  :D

Jason, I think Jeff here's talking **** to you.  I know he ain't sayin' that to me, 'cause I've been a die hard Dodgers and Angels fan for longer than most of you guys have been alive!  Especially those two Minnesota punk asses.

Granted, I'm slightly more vocal when we're winning, but that should be a given...   ;)
