Pretty interesting. It’s not exactly a list of terrible teams. Yankees, Dodgers, Rangers, Blue Jays, O’s, Pirates, Giants - who knows what he’s got against them. ---

Odd list. It’s not based on teams’ records, it’s not based on geography or even specific cities. Maybe those are the teams that he thinks wouldn’t put up with his shit? ---
