Pssht, you mean the Los Angeles Angels of Orange County, or whoever the hell they think they are.

Where’s the ‘I don’t give a flip, but I like to drink expensive beer and buy stuff for my kid at a large stadium’ selection?

Go A’s!

Most people can see who answered what, but since you picked the LA Dodgers, you can’t.

The way the Orioles are going, the Browns may gain on them in reputation.

I voted for the O’s, as I’ve been a fan since 1971. My emergency backup team has been, since their creation, the Rockies.
