Blind Pineapple: Oct 27, 2010; For The Perfect Fruit 'n' Kaman

1 part gin
1 part pomegranate syrup
Fill with pineapple juice
Serve over crushed ice; College Slice

As an Astros fan, I can't cheer for the Rangers under any circumstances, but I can see why fans of any other team would bandwagon them. I'd be a little happy for Beltran if he won I guess, but it'd be like Berkman winning with the loving Cardinals.

I know this is probably wrong, but I might actually bandwagon the Red Sox if/when the Stros are out. I know I know, Boston sports, but come on... Papi, Price, JBJ, they've got some cool dudes right?

It's gonna be funny when the Yankees become my adopted AL team as a result of their lineup including Castro and Torres.

If the Jays don't make it I'm all in for Cleveland as my AL choice because they have like 4 fans total.

I went to the Sox-Indians game yesterday and it was like half Cleveland fans.

So 4 is correct.

The Jays are reportedly going to hire Ben Cherington as VP of baseball ops? Good news for their farm system I guess.

Not that it would surprise anyone, but with the Cubs having a Magic# of 1 against the Cardinals and a Magic# of 3 against the Giants since those two teams have a 4 game series this weekend the Cubs are officially a playoff team.

If the Jays miss the wildcard game we can at least look forward to the nuclear takes that will be aimed at Shapiro.

Mister Perky: Aug 2, 2010

Root for the Indians as your interim bandwagon to force America to acknowledge and have a (obnoxious) debate full of disingenuous hand-wringing over their racist logo.

[And if the racism really bothers you console yourself by reading up on Larry Doby. The Indians' history is, bizarrely, simultaneously both racist and racially progressive.]

Also, so that all baseball and cinema-themed cable channels will start showing Major League repeatedly. And it's inferior sequels, too, probably. But the first film is legitimately great.

Also they are the closest AL counterpart to the Cubs in loveable loser/haven't won in anybody you know's lifetime, so if that's why you're bandwagoning the Cubs on the NL side....

Also Napoli/Lindor/Kipnis are all cool as gently caress and their pitching staff is really talented even if Salazar is dead.

Supposedly Bauer's a real douche but there's a pretty good chance he's on the spectrum so you can forgive it if you're so inclined
