I think he would be welcomed in any clubhouse in the bigs. He has the image of a bit of an ass, but he apparently is a big kid who just horseplays in the clubhouse.

Mad Bum is my favorite non Brave.

Posey is a bit of a sissy and kind of make me ashamed to be from the same state as him, but Mad Bum is a hoss.

The Yankees of the late 90's were a dynasty too, but you, know, I was born in 91, so I don't remember it all that well.

The Yankees I know have won 1 World Series in the past 16 years.


You don't get to call your team a dynasty when they miss the playoffs entirely during the run, that's not how it works. You can lose in the LCS or even the LDS, but to miss the playoffs entirely?

Eh, it's about championships. Pats won 3 of 4 from 2001-2004 and missed the playoffs in 2002. Still a modern day dynasty.

Just kind of depressing as a Braves fan. We've made up a lot of ground on the Nats and still sit 9 games back and are even further out of the wild card race. April is important, boys.

What's gonna be even more depressing as a Braves fan is when I dress you up in an avi of Chipper Jones being sodomized by Chief Wahoo.

I'd give you an "I Love you, Man" rating, but I just can't feel sympathy for a fanbase who saw their team win 3 World Series titles in this decade and then the team finally comes back to earth.

Particularly when that team wasn't the best team in baseball in any of their three championship years, and were arguably the worst team in the postseason in one of them. They enjoyed a ridiculous amount of luck and success. I don't feel badly for them at all.

Braves apparently kicking the tires on Archer and Quintana, with the thought they will be around under contract when the Braves start really contending

If the FO has balls, they will trade Bum. A rebuilding team does not need an Ace, especially one whose real value comes in the post season. They could almost rebuild the roster by trading him alone.

That would strike a HUGE blow to the fan base. Maybe they could absorb it; I don't know.

Posey pisses me off. That soft tosser and his sloppy work behind the plate deprived us all of collisions at the plate forever. Fuck him.

Scott Cousins for President.

3 championships in 5 years is a dynasty.

Obviously this kid has a learning disability.

My sympathies.

Nah, you're just crying in your beer because someone acknowledges that there have been other dynasties in the history of MLB than the Yankees.

Saw that. Being in the shitpile NL East has it's benefits, huh?

Anyway, I was thinking about out bet.

It's is who has a "better season," right? Obviously, if neither team makes the playoffs, we should go by record, otherwise, I'm thinking it should be whichever team goes furthest in the playoffs.

For example, say the Indians have a better regular season record, get bounced out of the ALDS, the the Braves get in the postseason with a Wild Card and then win the World Series, that would be stupid as hell if you lost the bet.

I say that regular season should only be used as a tie-breaker for depth in the postseason. What do you think?
