    Proof that you do not need a team full of stars with high salaries to win.

    I just miss my old school, Late 80's early 90's A's. The Warriors currently have the Splash Brothers, but the A's had the Bash Brothers (McGwire and Canseco)
    Yeah, I remember that A's club of the late 80's/90's.

    Ricky Henderson, Eckersley, Canseco and McGwire (and a lot of other I've forgotten.)

    Cook, I watched the Rangers play my M's and I have a very good impression of Nomar Mazara.

    Yeah he was supposed to get a full year at triple A and then Hamilton couldn't go so they went with him.He has looked great so far.Good looking left handed swing and seems to have a great eye at the plate.Picks good pitches to hit and I believe he's only 20 years old.

    A pitcher's duel is one of the primo experiences of a true fan of the game. It's almost like watching a chess match between world champions.

    These longstanding rivalries are considered better news than the new guys on the block. Heck, even broadcasters for the Rays mainly talk about the Yankees when those teams play each other. Northeast-coast types dominate the baseball media.

    The Royals did & look where it got them (Hosmer's mad dash). Then they can their best player & let a rival get him.

    They do have some good media, though.

    I couldn't believe ESPN held onto him so long. He was perpetually dyspeptic, often gave his fellow commentators go-to-hell looks, & had a nasty comment for everyone & everything in baseball. GOODbye.

    He did. & it was all downhill from there. One relapse after another, injuries, the disastrous jump to the Angels, who had no idea how to handle him & didn't even care, & finally his release. & he's laughing all the way to the bank.

    Agree, Mazara is awesome, & w/ players like Rougie bringing him up to speed, we can expect a lot more from this fine player.

    Forget "Sweet Caroline." The BoSox need a new theme song. How about this one.

    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin' out the Indians, breakin' my mind
    Do this, don't do that, can't you steal the sign?

    The Red Sox have admitted to stealing signs using an Apple watch. Dustin Pedroia said he's stolen signs since junior high school.
