Gentleman Jim: AL Central.
Coryhouser: AL Central, Shaun?
Shaun Parent: Uh.
Shaun Parent: Well, the Twins aren't starting off the season well.
Shaun Parent: Two big guys hurt.
Shaun Parent: Mauer and Morneau.
Shaun Parent: That's HUGE. Especially at the start of the season.
Shaun Parent: The Twins can ill-afford these guys to be out for a chunk of time.
Gentleman Jim: And Scott Baker too.
Shaun Parent: Whereas the White Sox have lost a bit on their end, too.
Shaun Parent: However, the one team who made the epic snag this offseason?
Shaun Parent: The Indians.
Gentleman Jim: Mark DeRosa?
Shaun Parent: Mark DeRosa is going to be money for these guys.
Gentleman Jim: Oh, you were serious.
Shaun Parent: Absolutely.
Gentleman Jim: I fuckin hate Mark DeRosa.
Shaun Parent: You know what DeRosa can do.
Gentleman Jim: Suck.
Shaun Parent: Now wait a minute.
Coryhouser: lmao
Shaun Parent: You'd pick Miles over DeRosa?
Coryhouser: Duh
Coryhouser: Miles bats a consistent .300
Coryhouser: And is a good glove
Gentleman Jim: I'd pick Fontenot over DeRosa
Shaun Parent: Really?
Gentleman Jim: Youth and upside.
Gentleman Jim: I like Fontenot.
Shaun Parent: As do I.
Shaun Parent: But I liked DeRosa, too.

Coryhouser: SHUT UP
Gentleman Jim: Did you ever see that Shaun?
Shaun Parent: I don't think I have.
Gentleman Jim: Mr. Ankiel is reportedly thinking about changing his name from Rick to Dick.
Shaun Parent: He's the man.
Gentleman Jim: Creating the best porn name in baseball.
Shaun Parent: Let him do it.

Coryhouser: Yep
Coryhouser: Look out everyone
Coryhouser: Here come the Roy.....als.....

Coryhouser: What???
Gentleman Jim: He's not on the Royals.
Coryhouser: Ah
Coryhouser: That must have happened lately
Coryhouser: Never mind then
Gentleman Jim: I'm just saying they got a lot of young talent, and some veterans
Coryhouser: Yes
Gentleman Jim: Um, Tigers?
Coryhouser: Noop
Shaun Parent: Sucks.
Coryhouser: Had their chance, blew it
Shaun Parent: What's up with Dontrelle Willis?
Gentleman Jim: Anxiety attacks.
Shaun Parent: Lies.
Gentleman Jim: Really.
Gentleman Jim: He went on the DL with anxiety issues.
Shaun Parent: Other than the anxiety on putting on a Tigers uniform, that's all I'm going to give him credit for.
Shaun Parent: Otherwise, man the f*ck up and throw some heat.
Gentleman Jim: There are rumors of Miguel Cabrera getting traded.
Shaun Parent: To who?
Coryhouser: uh huh
Gentleman Jim: Right now, the rumor is if they suck early, he could go to the Red Sox
Coryhouser: Great
Shaun Parent: Do they REALLY need him?
Shaun Parent: I mean, seriously.
Coryhouser: No, they don't
Gentleman Jim: Would you rather have him or Mike Lowell?
Shaun Parent: Lowell has a mustache I would lick soup out of.
Gentleman Jim: If they got him, Youk would go to 3rd, and Lowell would go to the bench.
Shaun Parent: That's a man's mustache there.
Coryhouser: lol
Gentleman Jim: Um, White Sux?
Coryhouser: I heard that Lowells' mustache is playing short stop
Shaun Parent: rofl
Shaun Parent: White Sox? No.
Coryhouser: Their average age on that team is 62
Coryhouser: Jesus
Shaun Parent: AARP is buying ad space in center field.
Coryhouser: lol
Gentleman Jim: lol
Coryhouser: Which really boils it down to two:
Coryhouser: The Indians and the Twinnies
Shaun Parent: I take the Indians.
Gentleman Jim: Twins.
Coryhouser: Twins here
Gentleman Jim: I don't know why.
