    Fernando Tatis Jr of the Padres just received a 80 game suspension for a positive test of a banned substance. . Says it was from a medication he took for ringworm. That is a big blow to MLB and the Padres.

    If it was the one game playoff I wouldn't count it. But it's 3 games so absolutely I'd count it.

    Football is my favorite sport. Basketball is probably my favorite sport to follow.

    Baseball though has a special place with me because I grew up living and breathing it and understand all of the intricacies that make it great.

    But I sure as hell don’t have the time at this point in my life to sit down and get into those intricacies for 162 games.

    Do I have to pick one? All I know is every time I’ve given Soccer a try I feel like it’s stupid as fuck and wasted my time.

    I know what you mean. I loved playing football, soccer, and basketball when I had a ton of free time. Wrestled in HS, and enjoyed it. Not as much as basketball. But still fun.

    Basketball is my favorite sport. Blazers are my favorite team.

    But I probably get more excited for a higher percentage of Ducks football games than Blazer games, though.

    Big time. Playoffs are awesome, and meaningful regular season games as well.

    I enjoy watching the rest, but there are just so many games that every game just doesn't mean as much.

    And when I talk smack about soccer it’s pro soccer. I love watching the youth games. That’s usually how I spend my spring’s these days.

    Idk why they sent Flexen to the bullpen Marco has been absolute shit for 2 months

    i know Marco doesn’t have the stuff for the bullpen but we can’t start him while being a contender

    The Angles infield probably makes about that much after last night.

    Watching the game in Colombia since it’s on YouTube

    glad Kirby got out of that jam only giving up 2. We need to keep a big lead to bean one of their players. Call me petty but fuuuuck the angels and Phil Nevin.

    Mariners can’t afford to lose a series against the lowly A’s

    I can never get too excited about this team when you go 5-4 against the 3 teams well below you in the standings.

    It's just so frustrating.
