And its the only way Gordo is getting on base.

Haha. True.

2. If we're going to do the "Billy Butler nickname for Morales" thing, it should be Third World Country Breakfast.

Not buying #1.

and they keep hitting homeruns. What is going to happen is one of the opposing teams players is going to get plunked and they (the other team) will be highly pissed off and want to fight.

Oh, please. That's who this team is. F' em if they don't like.

Pretty much everybody in the league does that stuff now. Every time someone hits a double, they look at the dugout and celebrate their greatness in some sort of gyrating fashion. I really don't think that's why they're getting hit.

This team is made up of a bunch of 20 - 30 year old kids, they are just enjoying themselves. I recall another team that used Do WA Diddy as their teams celebration song ever time they won a game .

We are still talking bout a bunch of big kids having fun..

[Hamwallet]

We will have a slump. It's baseball, a lot of games. Getting this great start will offset it. I can't wait until we get the Tigers, it will be fun no matter what happens.

[ARROW2]

I love the swagger. **** em...

Nobody is beaning Alex with the way he's swinging a wet noodle

[SPchief]

So yeah, disregard my arguments on that subject. Whoops.

[CaliforniaChief]

My wife roots for the Royals because I do. She really has no choice. But the last two nights she's been watching and she says repeatedly how much fun they are to watch with their handshakes, dancing, laughing, and hustle. They're intense and oh, yeah, play damned good baseball too.

Don't change a thing. If the rest of the league doesn't like it, they can turn off the TV when we're winning in October.

I'd much rather have a team loose, having fun, and actually like each other....than a bunch of stiffs.

Baseball is a game......it's not going to an office job or church.

I love watching them. The code of the game is a joke, but you aren't going to convince me that other teams aren't pissed off about the constant top-stepping and Gatorade baths after every home win.

The Cardinals are probably the only team that take themselves seriously enough to actually be bothered by this.

Maybe the Yankees back in the day would have, too. But I don't think most teams give a shit.

I've been pretty shocked by Morales so far. Not much data yet but that big goon is having great ABs and he's hitting it hard to all fields. If he stays healthy and produces even close to week 1, it changes our entire season.
