So many reasons to love YouTube

It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of modern-day baseball. With all the cheats in the game, and so few class acts left, it’s just difficult to retain my interest. But because of the internet, I can relive the days of baseball that I fell in love with.

Florida Marlins: How much do you care about fans?

I’ve never been a Marlins fan. Or the Rockies, Diamondbacks, or Devil Rays. To me, they are not real teams. Nothing against Floridians, I just hate expansion. I think it has diluted the talent pool and has decreased the quality of play in the major leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies: How much do you care about fans?

I’ve really slacked in posting these, so you’re going to get a triple dose tonight. I’m not sure when exactly these came, so I’m giving them all a 2 for timeliness. Any packages that come after this point will receive a 0 for timeliness.
