      All you need to know, is that Jose Rameriez is a baseball god, and Tim Anderson is a little removed!

      GO GUARDS!

        Oh yea, well explain to me how Pete Rose was banned for gambling and Shohei Ohtani didn’t even receive a reprimand.

          Ever since MLB realized they could make a metric shit ton of cash by allowing online gambling sites to advertise in their ballparks?

          Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose should be FUMING right now.

            Hey, I’m amazed we even won that series. The Friars are sketchy at best and the Guards have been on a roll for awhile.

                I’m not a militant fan at all. The Padres are my main team, but I have no problem respecting other talent and giving credit where credit is due. The Dodgers are my mortal money, but even I can admit they got some rock solid talent on that team.

                  What? They aren’t military…the name is based on The Guardians of Traffic. Which are 4 statues that sit on the bridge right outside the stadium. These statues watch over Cleveland traffic on that bridge ensuring you get across the bridge safely. They were built at a time when automobiles were fairly new, and driving a car across a bridge over a body of water (in this case a river) was brand new and scary. So these were sculpted as a way to ease travelers minds, that the spirit of The Guardians was watching over them to ensure safe travels.

                    Uhhh, what? Either you didn’t understand my previous comment, or I didn’t type it out in a very cohesive way, because I have no idea what you’re talking about.
