The Dodgers are so screwed going forward.

They're probably going to have to start Brock Stewart in game one or two the next round.  He started the season in Single A ball.

cleveland's team name (and especially the cap) is so offensive, yet it doesn't get the play that washington redskins does.   I guess neither will change any time in the near future. And that's too bad.

I'm sorry what is offensive about being called "Cleveland Indians"?

Cleveland has bigger problems to focus on  than a bunch of over educated white liberals complaining about a team name.
