If certain fanbases are determined to hate you and call you arrogant, may as well embrace and make the most of it.

Well the Sox are actually doing ok! (for a single game lol)

I'm just going to make this prediction, the White Sox will have a winning record this year.

Not the craziest prediction ever. Some of these scrappy players make it look like they can be a professional ball club this summer. It helps that they have the Tigers and Royals in the division.

The Angels really should consider using Shohei Ohtani as their DH on days he's pitching too...

I don't think you can have the pitcher also play DH simultaneously.

What you can do (and what they should do in my opinion) is to choose to forgo the DH and just set up their lineup as if they were a National League team. In the AL, you're always allowed to do this; the Giants did it with Bumgarner a few years back in a game at Oakland.

Also, in other news, Ohtani is making me slightly more accepting of the DH. But still, #NotInMyNationalLeague

Lol at the Brewers. They try to talk a big game that the division is theirs this year, only to lose 7 of 8 to the Cubs in April, including 5 shutouts. PLEASE keep attempting to trash talk, its cute.

Move over, Shohei Ohtani. There's a new two-way player in town:

Holy cow, a perfect inning?? That is seriously awesome Kung Fu Panda.

Somehow the Mariners are tied for the lead in the AL West. Did they put something in the water in Seattle?

I was at the 13 inning game in Seattle the other night. Great atmosphere for a new ballpark. They seem to have a great group of guys that can take them to the playoffs. Also chowder at a baseball game >>>>>>
