Baseball 2013

If you rate ball clubs by how many hotties they regularly put in the bleachers I think Wrigley does pretty well for itself.

Go on.

I presume it has something to do with the reputation of Ohioans as the world's most obnoxious sports fans.

New York fans.   In happier news, the Tribe just swept Texas and their starters are really looking like they're settling into a nice groove for the second half.  I am: cautiously optimistic.

The Rangers make lots of teams look like they're settling into a groove, it seems.

Discomfiting to see the Orioles bats are still on the All-Star Break.

The starters have looked great since coming back from the break, it's the defense that has led to losses combined with an all or nothing offense.

I'd prefer to just pretend last weekend did not happen.  Getting swept by the damned Braves, ugh.  Thankfully the Pirates and Reds also played like shit.

Second only to New York.

I dunno, man...the top two obnoxious baseball fanbases are still really New York and Boston.  They're the baseball equivalent of the monied classes, though:  one one hand, you've got New York with its long legacy of "old money" sophistication;  annoying, yes, but also to the point where it's expected of them to be dicks, but more of a landed gentry dickishness with their we're-better-than-you-and-you-and-I-and-Cooperstown-all-know-it Monopoly Guy arrogance.  And then there's Boston with their nouveau riche obnoxiousness, suddenly pulling themselves out of the ghetto with alarming Lotto success, showing up at the country club in Hawaiian shirts and flip flops, letting their urine-smelling snot-bubble kids run screaming around the tables as they put their cigarettes out in their water glasses.

Orioles fans are nice though.  Couldn't help but be.  The very idea of a major league baseball team in Baltimore: how absolutely adorable.  Of course we all did our soft polite clap when they won their one World Series every decade before that parvenu Angelos showed up.

Stupid Mets and Pirates.  Orioles coulda been contendas.

See, fahdiz?  Yankees fans, Exhibit #2,149.

Weren't the Yankees originally from Baltimore?

What's nice about the tonight's game is that even if they lose, which they are and it's the 8th, they'll still be at 2-8 over the last ten, since it's just replacing a loss instead of one of the Ws.

Pretty sure a southern state wouldn't have a team called the Yankees.

Maybe you're thinking of the Babe Ruth purchase.

Yankees started out as the New York Highlanders, didn't they?

Before they were the New York Highlanders they were the Baltimore Orioles!
