We played occasionally with some of the American kids, but the Ricans usually preferred soccer.

The new Miami Marlins logo looks straight out of 1978!

Florida baseball is an abomination.

In other news the Yankees (no-surprise) have clinched the East. I'm hoping the Red Sox can lose the Wild Card race.

Still, you see a lot more people with MLB apparel (caps, mostly - and there Yankees dominate by far) than NFL apparel over here. Teamspotting is a bit of a sport for me on my way to/from work.

Seen any Winnipeg Jets gear yet?  New or old.   :)

ANDINO!  O's WIN!  Biggest win in over a decade at least.  That was freaking awesome.

It was kind of sad really.  The players and fans (especially me) were celebrating like they just won the pennant.

But damn it!  It was something both memorable and positive to happen to Baltimore.  I mean those are hard to come by these days.  Most of their big memorable moments are getting no-hit by Buchholz or melting down in 2005 or giving up 30 to the Rangers.

:nelson: Go Orioles! :D

Pirates didn't manage to stay under 90 losses. :( Great season in first half, but seriously downhill after the blown ref call in the extra innings game in Atlanta. Still, the season has left me cautiously optimistic for the future.

Huzzah!  I've won LFBBL despite Katmai stomping all of us in the regular season.  Great last matchup against the Vienna Imperials.  It came down to superb performances by two of our pitchers on the last day.

Behold your current LFFL and LFBBL title holder!

Good lord I feel too nerdy for words.

Cards managed to get the Wild Card I'm a bit surprised.  They seem to do better when I'm not watching them.  Probably performance anxiety.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The greatest collapse in baseball history since Appalachian State defeated Michigan.

Yeah, that was pretty close. Your batters had me outmatched, so I had to hope for my pitchers to come through.

Was that right after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour? :unsure:
