Yeah yeah lol I just can't find a team to follow, if the Dodgers or Giants had stayed in New York I'd follow one of them. I'm not a big DH fan so I follow the NL mostly, I love the history of the game so teams like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Dodgers, Giants, Cubbies, Philadelphia, Cardinals appeal to me.

I hate Bill Stoneman so much that if I were in the same room as he Im not sure I would be responsible for my actions.

Without a doubt if the Dodgers had stayed in Brooklyn it would be them.

I've said this before, but I have always fell in love with the story of the Philadelphia Athletics.

The reason the Dodgers had to leave Brooklyn is a long story. But it centers around a man named Robert Moses..perhaps the most interesting man ever in American public life. he essentially used emminant domain to foreclose o the land Ebbets Field occupied to build a public housing project.

The Dodgers then came to LA and the city forcibly removed hundreds of mexican immigrants in Chavez Ravine to build the stadium

I could love the A's about as easily as you could love Leigh RMI.

I just love the history of New York baseball but Yankees and Mets don't fit into what I like about the game, just don't like the Yankees lol and Mets weren't an original team and have no deep history as in years.

You had a Newcastle player in your team grrrrrrrrrrrrr

The guy who is on top of the Wigan Ath leaderboard actually had 3 Newcastle players no doubt he's the one hanging in the centre of Wigan as I speak

You had Colin Methven ? Should have asked me you could have dropped him, he supposedly picked up an thigh strain in training srves you right for picking Milner

I ran out of money towards the end, so I just picked Milner and Zamora to fill out the team and I hit the limit. One choice worked out well, one not so well.
