First of all - thank you for your service of wading through the cess pool and the report.
Second - What if the CUBS win the series?
“Second - What if the CUBS win the series?”
Jesus will appear suddenly in center field at Wrigley and the ENTIRE BALL GAME IS OVER, SPORTS FANS!
Seriously, I love the Cubs, and Wrigley. I was blessed enough to see two games there in my life, and I have a big fleece Cub blanket, because it sleeted during one of the games there.
The cubs won back to back in 1907 and 1908. They haven’t won in 105 years, but they’ve won.
The Mariners? Jesus may show up first. It’s run by people who seem to hate baseball at the ownership level. The guy at Nintendo that owned if for years NEVER attended a game. Not once. He has since died, and the went out and got Cano, but Seattle has been a pretty feckless place for sports teams, with the exception of the recent Super Bowl win. Before that, the last major male sports team to win was the 1978 Sonics. The Storm has one at least two WNBA championships.
Jack Z is no Billy Beene either. He’s not horrible, but not Beene. If Beene had Jack Z’s budget, the A’s would have a dynasty. If he had the Yankee’s budget, they might have cancelled MLB for lack of interest, given the A’s winning it so many times in a row.
The A’s are TWO TIME AL West Division Champs with a budget of less than $60M. Beene should have a wing at Cooperstown with all the future hall of famers that started as A’s during his tenure.
Quite a guy.
