BOOM!!

If you so inclined let us know who you support.

I was raised a Red Sox diehard but adopted the Cardinals as my NL team a bit later in life, so here's a mashup logo of my two favorite MLB squads.

¡Vamos los Gigantes!

I don't have high expectations for them this season. Anything above a .500 record while developing some young players into productive major leaguers is a win.

Meanwhile, I assume the Dogs will three-peat, as they've built an absolute juggernaut.

Yeah. patience is going to be a virtue...

Sadly, I lack that gift. I asked ChatGPT to throw something together.

The same for my NL team, the Cardinals. They've stripped it bare and are in full rebuild mode, so this could be a looong season.

It did a pretty good job! The “StL” kind of dominates the overall design though. If that was smaller and a “B” was added, it would be more even, as long as it doesn’t give you a “BS”!

I noticed that, too. But I just didn't have the energy to strive for perfection

MLB commissioner Manfred went on WFAN this week and talked...a lot. And, not a lot to like either. I never realized I was as so old school until I heard the commissioner of MLB - which used to be a bastion of tradition - dropping acid on New York radio and discussing his visions for the game, man. Manfred wants an in-season tournament like the NBA Cup; expansion adding more teams; rejiggering the divisions (again); messing with the schedule to 'balance' or limit the amount of travel; having split seasons so you conceivably could have two winners in each division each year before the playoffs start; a salary cap (of course) a deadline in when you could sign free agents.

Pitch clock? Big win
Wild cards? Win
Ghost runner? That's a push
This latest stuff? Hell no
