If anyone has "hate", it's Stroman.

Kidding aside, only fairweather and/or bandwagon fans exhibit hate for teams that have just became competitive in the last few years.
I remember what Royals baseball looked like a decade ago and it wasn't pretty. Mike Sweeney and David DeJesus were the best bats on that team.
As far as Toronto, Alex Rios,Vernon Wells, and Roy Halladay were great, but the rest of those teams floundered. I'm surprised the Blue Jays even rehired Gibbons.
All in all, Kansas City and Toronto should be proud that their organizations are putting up competitive baseball teams now.
I'm anxious more than excited. This year's Cubs are scary good.
All I can ask is for that Goat curse to kick in.
Fun Fact: The name of the billy goat is Murphy.
I don't watch many games on television, but I was surprised how many times they had to cut quickly to a pitch being delivered.
Having to do so for the last at bat of the game is inexcusable.

How are the Rangers going to do that when theyre out? Lmao
If anyone for one second think Jose is not going to get Drilled next season they are in for a big surprise.

They should ask O'Day how that went.

Have the mayors set the pizza bet yet?
Pizza - Everyone wins. There are no losers between NY and CHI pizza.
Baseball - I want the Cubs to win. I think the Mets will win. Either way we'll get to see some great players on the big stage so it's cool.
For Royals-Jays same thing. That's going to be one hell of a feisty series. Like the closest thing to a steel cage match baseball can get.
Not sure what you are trying to say, but this is besides the point unless O'day is in the Rangers team

Our pizza appeared in a Ninja Turtles movie.
I mean cmon:
It's not a contest here. NY wins.
Not disappointed yet but if Mattingly isn't fired, I will be. That was my saving grace for this entire season -- it was obvious we had nothing that resembled a team that could win in the playoffs and so I saw this as just a stopgap until he'd be kicked to the curb. Not sure I'll bother following the season next year if he sticks around, because frankly it'll be an exercise in futility. He's an awful manager and is a limiting factor. McGwire should go too.
Missing out on Maddon set the team back years and years.. should have done everything in the management's power to get him. If we lose Greinke, I fear for the pitching staff next season. It's full of trash as is, but you look at teams like the Mets and Blue Jays with legitimate aces throughout and you know that it just isn't good enough and it won't be because the Dodgers always trade away young arms. How good would it have been to have Heaney this year?
I don't get into that WAR stuff very much, but Dee Gordon had a 4.9 and Kendrick had a 1.1 -- everything about that deal ended up being a failure. Sometimes management types get too cute and overthink things and that deal was obviously a poor one right from the very start. The Dodgers have spent so much money and made so many moves in the past few years, but would you look at the roster and think it's actually gotten any better? I don't see anything resembling a tangible improvement outside of one or two players.
Although he struggled in his two AAA starts, I'm hoping Urias has a good offseason and we see him early and often next year. So many other teams this year went with young guns to great effect. I still can't get over the Brandon McCarthy signing.

Is that a cardboard cut out of what pizza is supposed to look like?

I imagine the Cards pursue Price, and Reyes is the centerpiece in the trade for Longoria.
Oh, wait, thats what I did in MLB The Show.
Seemed like there was more hate for the Blue Jays back in the 90's wins. It was like... how dare a Canadian franchise try and win America's past time. We were supposed to know our role and be honored to be the Yankee's canon fodder.

Typical Giant fan to bring that POS up.
I mean the new york pizza looks somewhat tasty, but that chicago pizza, as thick as it is, looks way better. The chi/ny pizza debate is so weird.
Oh nice, I was going to say, personally I like St Louis style the best (no I'm not from there). I get Imo's once a week though.
In KC we have a great place called waldo pizza that does a great St louis style. I get one with jalapeno and jalapeno-bacon. I'll probably be getting one tomorrow after the Royals game. I'll try to remember to take a picture.
You and your battle over deep dish. Imo's thin crust in St. Louis is where its at:

LOL that looks like something I'd order from Domino's though.
spicy mustard is actually good if you get chicken on the pizza. ketchup should be nowhere near most foods.

StL is the underrated pizza city of the US. Really great thin crust down there.

I'm pretty shocked there are people outside of Stl in this thread that like our pizza. I very rarely meet someone who likes it that wasn't born/grew up there
Hopefully you have some Hawaiian ready for Bautista. lol.
Thank god he can hit home runs.
Do the cokes get served to you by opening them and then throwing them at you from two terraces above?

California Pizza Kitchen came up from SoCal, your argument is invalid.
It's very similar to a Chicago-suburb brand called Aurelio's. But STL's isnt as salty.

Speaking of overrated chain pizza...
I kid. My college had a CPK for one year. It wasn't too terrible, but it was expensive.
I don't mind NY style and I love chicago style pizza, but my true love is a super thin crispy pizza crust with a pile of toppings.
CPK has heretical notions of what is appropriate with crust and sauce (or the lack thereof, ugh) and should never be mentioned in polite conversation about pizza.

So you agree with me!
Would rather spend a few bucks on Little Ceasers if I had to choose between the two.
