I can imagine! The West has been such a clown show these past few years, too.
Still, I'm jealous that you live nearby. Angel Stadium seems like the best in
California to me, though I haven't been to an in person.

As silly as it was, I love it. The As and Ms have been neck-and-neck for so
long that it's good to see a real rivalry resurface. A good brawl, nobody got
too roughed up, and some good camaraderie between the players.
100% agree that Nevin has to go, though. You can't lose your head like that
over a HBP.

I know TTO has been argued everywhere ad nauseam, but the decline of smallball
really is sad. Some of the most exciting plays come on lucky contact.
