Sox, Tigers, Yanks, Reds, Dodgers, Giants
 

And A-Rod up the ass.

Cubs 3 Sox 1
 

With the Sox and Dodgers gone, the last two teams standing leave me limp. Do I root for the cheating Astros? Only because Dusty Baker hasn't managed a World Series winner. Long suffering Atlanta deserves to win one...but I sure as hell don't want to hear a bunch of white people pretending to chant like 1st Americans while "tomahawk chopping" with their hands. I'm just going straight to Hot Stove season.

Fire up the Hot Stoves!
 

First woman represents at least four or five different teams!

Dodgers, Cards, Yanks, Giants, Astros
 

Hot Stove League

More heat for the hot stove
 

There's even Phillie one for FZ1.

Free Agent Frenzy
 

Fun Hot Stove so far, eh?

Drinking Stella Artois at a baseball game is blasphemy. Baseball is meant to be enjoyed with a hot dog, a warm pretzel with mustard, and watery draught beer from a mega-brewer like Budweiser, Labatt's or Miller at $12-$15 per plastic cup so that it gets warm in about 2 minutes.

LOCK OUT!
 

Hopefully a deal is done soon. How many of you are hot for Mrs. Met?

A's, Yankees, Rangers, Cards, Jays, Sox
 

The players are locked out -but their sexy fans are here for you.,

Dodgers, Giants, Tigers, Sox, A's, Tribe, Pirates
 

Did you know the Pirates were down to just one fan? Hang in there.

Lockdown lust
 

Braves, Phillies, Yankees, Nats, Mets, Diamondbacks, Padres

A Giants Fan!
 

She likes a winner, I guess..

Hey you Suits: Time to get serious on the labor negotiations.
 

Jays. BoSox. Yanks. Dodgers. Pirates. Braves. 2009 schedule (Can anybody tell for who?) ChiSox and a bat girl.

The woman for FZ1
 

A Phillie Phanatic for FZ1. A yank worthy Yank. A San Diego Madre and a Louisville plug her.

Lotsa Yanks, Sox, Angels and Nats
 

MLBPA and owners better get it together or spring training is going to be late. Worse yet...it could affect THIS THREAD!

Players only love you...
 

...when they're playing.

Sox, Rangers, Yanks, Brewers, Reds, Dodgers
 

Next week: Labor Agreement.

CBA deadline
 

Agreement? Quiet so far.

(Last one is a gif)

Fuck!
 

No CBA and now we have the first two series of the season cancelled. One thing I'm glad the players nixed in talks was the owners wanting 14 playoff teams. How do you even do that with three divisions? 12 is what it will be -even that's a lot for my taste. It's hard for us fans to get our heads around the money involved. I try to remind myself that there are only 700 of these jobs in the world, it takes years to get The Show and the average career is pretty damned short. Still, they're doing the game no favors by once again cutting games out of the regular season. It makes statistics even less meaningful. It pisses off season ticket holders and MLB is already getting a lot less play on ESPN and talk radio. I hate it when I turn on sports radio in summer and MOST of the news is about sports out of season. I love the game, but like everything else, big money is destroying the fun. Well, anyway...that's my take. For those missing spring training, at least you've got this thread.

Still no CBA Agreement
 

With covid, war, inflation, climate change, political/culture clashes and Karens ...we really NEED baseball right now. To the folks who can't compromise on how to share billions of dollars that come from US, I offer you the words of Jimmy Dugan:

:):)

Hurray! We have baseball!
 

And we have women!

KISS MY ASTROS!
 

Who are these guys? Cheats or champs?

More Astros
 

Plus Yankees and Red Sox (You can just see the edge of the Sox logo, top right)

Damn Yankees, Dodgers, Mets and Sox
 

Inching toward Opening Day.

Baseball season is in full swing
 

You guys are in full wank?

Rangers, Padres, Giants, Yankees
 

Base ballin'

Yankees
 

Start yanking

Beisbol
 

Berra berra good to you

Baseball is good. 100 pages good.
 

One could probably devote an entire thread to Yankee hats. It IS a cool hat, even if you're a Yankee hater.

The old ball game
 

Our national pastime

Lots of Yankees
 

Could this be their year?

Yankees Dominant
 

But Dodgers, Sox and Braves are here too

All Star Week
 

So far it's a Yankee summer.

Baseball
 

You might have to look harder on the last one...once you quit looking at her ass.

Plugging along...
 

In the dog days of summer. The season is a marathon, not a sprint.

Trade Deadline
 

Could you get Soto for this collection of talent?

A few subtle ones
 

Ya gotta look closer.

It Happens Every Spring
 

You've seen the first woman, but there's a little variation. After 100 pages, it's hard to find totally new stuff.

September Call Ups
 

Who will push on to the playoffs?
