    He only played as a sophomore in high school because he was academically ineligible the other years.

    No way. I was just jumping to conclusions. Ask the expert.

    So your defense for your condescending post is that others think he's an idiot who can't string together coherent sentences as well. Got it.

    Three days in, Albert pissed at the Angels for their billboard campaign calling him "El Hombre." He apparently told the Cardinals he didn't want that nickname in deference to Stan "The Man" Musial. Angels didn't know.
    By the way, Albert, owner Arte Moreno is the Southwest billboard king and those billboards are paying your $246 million contract.

    Just bookmarking this for easy reference the next time somebody says I'm the moral compass for this board.

    I'm not a huge Tigers fan..but the battle for the 5th slot in the rotation will be a fun one to watch.

    Top prospect Jacob Turner vs. Drew Smyly, Andy Oliver, Casey Crosby, Duane Below, and Adam Wilk.

    I'm saying that Jenks - who I have met several times and like - has clearly grown up and isn't the dumb bumpkin that people thought he was when he was coming up through the minors, as evidenced by his impressive grasp of some pretty arcane medical facts.

    The rest of it is you projecting.

    And will beat the Royals in 6 for the crown?

    That's what I would like to see anyway.

    The Royals are going to score some serious runs this year.

    And give up even more of them.

    I'm just going to sit over here in the corner and wait for the serious baseball chatter.

    I had said "heavy baseball talk" to someone else, and then after I posted, I was like "wait, did he say serious?"

    Victory!!!
