TINSTAAP was the first thing I thought too :suicide:

Alex Faedo and Franklin Perez should be ready to take the mound soon.

The advertisements on jerseys are another in an lengthy list of examples of how the people in charge of baseball do not understand their sport at all. The uniforms themselves are advertisements, for companies worth billions of dollars. The Yankees logo, name, and pinstripe uniform is just as iconic as the golden arches. Teams going to act super confused and befuddled when jersey sales plummet because no one wants to pay hundreds of bucks to wear a shirt with a loving Subway Eat Fresh patch on the shoulder.

Tied for first actually :)

In other Oakland A's news the announced attendance for the second home game of the year was 3,800 people.. Luckily their TV deal revenue covers all of their salary commitments plus quite a bit extra or I would say things are not looking so hot for the Oakland Athletics!

They doubled ticket prices so that's a big return for the ownership.

Yeah...I know a lot of people had them as a sleeper team going into this year, and based on last year's performance plus their new additions, that seemed plausible on paper. But they're not hitting. At all. Then you have Mize/Manning/Pineda all hurt, and I think E-Rod got hurt or something today as well.

Yeah it's just bad. Another front office that doesn't know what TINSTAAPP is.

It's kinda incredible that there are teams in the majors with worse records than the Tigers... They don't have 1 player in their lineup with an OPS+ over 95 and their pitching is all terrible or hurt or both.
