    Oh TGIF is a good one. That's probably the "category" I was looking for since 90 family sitcoms is pretty broad.

    90s sitcoms is a brilliant idea.

    The Cubs are good.. Really good. Gotta figure out how to knock them out of first place next year.

    Love to be in an easy division like it would be to be in an easy lady, at least for a short time.

    Easy is relative. I did get lucky with timing as the Mariners are good but young and got hurt bad from FA before CJ became GM. Both the Rangers and the Angels are rebuilding but have excellent GMs. Soon they will be back in the mix. I took over a 75 win team in the A's but my ultimate goal was to just make the playoffs. The Cubs told me pre-season that all I needed was an Ace but I thought I could manage and we couldn't work out a deal. Then after several SP injuries and poor performance by some old-guy FAs I bought for 1M each... I gave up my beloved #1 pick next year and two prospects (to Mach no less) in a deal with the Yankees to get help. We just held on as injuries kept hitting my Starters. Would not have had a clue without Leo's, Kingdom's, Mach's, UC's and some others advice and guidance... I give my thanks. Here is the A's starting 25:

    1- F.Clinton (trade with Yankees)
    2- J.Chase (FA buy)
    3- B.Morris (trade with Yankees)
    4- M.Lecroy (FA buy)
    5- R.Bulgarin (FA buy)
    6- C.Morrow (trade with Braves)
    7- J.Hernandez (original A's)
    8- C.Franklin (trade with Braves)
    9- L.Janowitz (scrap FA)

    subs:
    CA- P.Winston (scrap FA)
    3B- J.Skaggs (original minor league A's)
    2B- L.Gonzalez (original A's)
    LF- J.Ransom (original A's)

    1- N.Sizemore (original A's)
    2- N.Manrique (original A's)
    3- C.Royal (trade with Yankees)
    4- I.Blitzer (original A's)
    5- G.O'Shay (original A's)

    MR- B.McMorrow (FA buy)
    MR- B.Dominguez (FA buy)
    MR- C.Hagerty (original A's)
    MR- J.Lebouf (original minor league A's)
    MR- J.Quesada (FA buy)
    MR- M.Murphy (FA buy)
    CL- D.Branscome (original A's)

    So, 14 out of 25 are new to the A's this season... only 1 original A's player in my starting 9 batters. Very interesting and enjoyable season.

    Thanks to all of you.

    If it's any consolation, that same weirdo made mntwinsfan good enough to already be in the majors.
