Thanks for the welcomes everyone I’m Australian, so hopefully there’ll be lots of opportunities for comparative studies in our respective use of the English language  The only thing I don't like about Australia is vegemite. Don't get that at all. What part of Australia are you from? |

I'm glad Vegas isn't changing the name A's. How 'bout a compromise...Las Vegas Aces. Get rid of that pesky apostrophe... That's their WNBA team actually. |

Irregardless is now in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. It took a while, but it’s now accepted … "Irregardless" is not a word...regardless of what Merriam-Webster has to say. |

Thanks for the welcomes everyone I’m Australian, so hopefully there’ll be lots of opportunities for comparative studies in our respective use of the English language You have a pouch? A kid named Joey? Standing upside down down there? Got that freaky accent? There, got all the dumb shit out of the way, so welcome! We’ve had foreign country posters in the past. I hope you like us goof-ball Americans. I dug Olivia Newton John… |

I hear Oakland needs a team?  The original A’s should have just stayed put in Philly… Connie Mack would manage to alienated the Philly baseball fans when he put up tin wall outfield fence during the 1930's, so the fans couldn't watch the game from building roof tops like Wrigley Field in Chicago. Plus, he was always crying poor, missing out on a chance to acquire a young Babe Ruth for the the minor league Orioles before the Red Sox would sign him. |

Watch this start a trend of smaller, bring your own folding chair ball parks… 🤓
Make the game up close and personal. Hey Volpe, your fly is down. Hey Stanton, are you the one with the burrito farts down there? Whew!…
