" Kirby's Dreamland" lol. I loved that game !!! I have it on my 3DS. yes, i srill play the shid out of that. Best system ever
Rangers and cubs fans are very upset about this signing because both teams wanted to sign him but wanted to low ball him on a 4 year deal
Dodgers are finally caving to the outcry and didn't included any deferrals in this deal! 😅
I mean sometimes you have feel for these poor small market teams like the Cubs and Yankees. 😆 Steinbrenner got excoriated by his own fans BTW. Thanks for the great chat!
After Teo and Snell it would’ve been an A… what they’ve done since makes it A+++
Everyday people..
I'm fine with saying goodbye to brazier banda and Grove. Although grove has options and the dodgers value that. Banda only gets tight after he'd let on 2 or 3 right handers. I get so nervous when he's on the mound
Who knew the Yankees were a poverty franchise whining about another teams spending? Put some clown make up on Steinbrenner
