If you're going with Naps, shouldn't our lineup fall under the header of the St. Louis Browns?

Either that, or Milwaukee Brewers. If you want, I could change it.

OK, at the very least, I'll attach links so that people can be reminded that in 2003, we wore throwback uniforms from when we were the St. Louis Browns.

So when was the last time we won 6 in a row? I feel like last year and this year we would always max out at 5 no matter how well we were doing.

Last year, we started our late-season charge (22-16) with a 6-game winning streak on August 22nd.

Hey everyone. I'm back for a game thread in goodness knows how long. Slammed with work recently.

Can't wait to see Tommy Hunter hunt some Indians....

And Ichiro to the Yankees? Ugh....

Just curious as to why the Naps? Because Indians isn't politically correct, or just for nostalgia?

[Malike]

Masterson is our Daddy.

Just nostalgia. Just goofing around.
