Originally posted by @trev33The Mets, NYY, Boston, St. Louis and a few others at least try to field legit. World Series contenders. There are many teams like Detroit, San Diego, Seattle, CH White Sox and others that don't even try. The owners spend just enough $$ on talent to call themselves major league teams, all they care about is providing some local entertainment and making a profit, I guess this is OK, but I live in one of those cities that doesn't care, and it doesn't make me want to go to a baseball game at all.
Year of the Mets... heard it here first.

I'll go out on a limb and say the SF Giants
I chose the giants for 3 main reasons.
1.I like to watch Bumgarner pitch.
2.I like to watch Buster Posey's tactics to confuse the home plate umpire.
3.I like the scenery at the A.T.& T stadium

Just thought I'd have a quick look on the sports thread to see if there was anything about the sandpaper incident and saw the mlb.
Not looked at much else yet.
There is a bit on sandpaper at the end of the 58 all out thread.
Even radio is condemning the Aussies which to be fair, is a decent stance by him.
I don't understand all of this blubbing. Apart from being totally pathetic, what are they crying about?
Because they cheated? Because they got caught? Neither would seem a justification for grown men to cry like babies.
Grow a pair (or '8'I think is the latest total)!

I thought there might have been a new one.
I think they probably felt sorry for themselves hence the tears.
In general though I don't think there's any shame in showing your emotions provided it's genuine.
The "stiff upper lip" thing is just a form of posturing in my opinion i.e "look at me , how brave and manly I am""
