California ruling it. Dodgers, Padres and Giants are a collective 26-7.  Even the Angels are 6-3.

Gone but never forgotten.  He’s practically a free space on Immaculate Grid. I use him at least once a week.

Wow, what a terrible random way to go. It’s now 58 dead and 160 injured and they are still pulling people out of the wreckage.

Adding the Athletics to that makes it 30–14 but that’s still pretty good.

Cleveland is yet to play their home opener. 3-6 all on the road.

That’s a very White Sox was to lose.

They’re definitely checking off some of the ‘unique ways to lose’ boxes early in the season

Anthony Santander:  1

Juan Soto: 1

Vlad Guerrero: 0

Gunnar Henderson: 0

Ketel Marte: 0

If you remove their series vs the Tigers,...

The Dodgers have scored 52 runs and given up 58, with record of 8-5.

The White Sox have scored 43 runs and given up 40 runs, with a record of 4-7.

The Dodgers will probably lead the Majors in wins this year, but they are currently in third place.  They are not the unbeatable super power everybody was making them out to be when they swept the Tigers.  The Tigers almost won two games in that series.

And the Dodgers pitchers have probably a strike zone the size of a shipping container and the White Sox zone is the size of a CD cover.

Braves release Buck Farmer. Might be the end of the show for him. He was serviceable for the Tigers during their aaaa run

Walk up songs i presume.  Daughter relays that she really likes “Billie Jean” from Michael Jackson but is considering the riff part of “Eyes Without a Face” by Billy Idol.  (“…i’m on a bus on a psychedelic trip…”)
