A penguin dodging trolleys in Brooklyn would be quite a sight.

Didn't say I liked Cey at all.

Nettles has some huge home v road splits.

I'm not a big Hall guy anyways.

Ron Cey's rookie card is the same as Mike Schmidt's rookie card.  One of those rookie trio cards.

I spot watched off and on the Braves last night, they are ... interesting, I guess, a bit, started the year 0-7 and are still missing a couple top players.

I do think teams that buy their rosters are going to kill off baseball in smaller markets, in effect, maybe the teams linger but everyone knows they won't be competitive.

I get your meaning, but that's how baseball has always been.  Different franchises sucked for decades at a time.  With the near-random outcomes of short series, spending tons of money only gets you a playoff spot.  KC was acting like a farm team for NYY for awhile there, through FA.

But yeah, it's getting more extreme, for sure.
