| Two hands. I want to play the piano with two hands. |
Let me be clear that I am neither a curmudgeon nor a moralist about any of this. I feel no outrage. Baseball owners charge people baseball money to watch baseball games and then baseball money is converted into baseball salaries for baseball players. I don't care. At all. I just think it's funny, and awesome. But oh no the team I enjoy watching play baseball chooses not to spend its baseball money on the baseball players I would like them to spend their baseball money on while other baseball teams do in fact choose to spend their baseball money on such players so the universe is cold and unfair. Yes, it is. Also I don't care, outside of the fact that this list is tremendous.

"But oh no the team I enjoy watching play baseball chooses not to spend its baseball money on the baseball players I would like them to spend their baseball money on while other baseball teams do in fact choose to spend their baseball money on such players so the universe is cold and unfair." that is baseball feelings in a nutshell for a lot of people...
ReplyDelete2 thoughts, first lololol the Cubs, secondly as a human person with actual blood in my body it is sarcastically nice to see the Yankees doing so well at something
Nice to see Cabrera right up there, too.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how Todd Helton is still getting paid like WHOA when he hasn't been Todd Helton for like 5 years. And he still has 2 more years left on his deal. That'll be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteI was not aware that Miguel Cabrera was the highest paid player in baseball who does not call New York home. This gives me more to ponder as I prepare my Baseball Feelings on my dude, Miguel.
ReplyDeleteHey Neil my wife was wondering if anybody ever calls Magglio Ordonez "Joe DiMagglio" and I didn't have an answer but said I would ask Neil. Your thoughts?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I will call him that in her honor a few times this season.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Neil.
