And of course, they were not called the Indians until 1915. But I'm all for changing the Guardians' name to either the Infants, Blues, or the Naps, which were names they went by before that!

Anyway, Trump's body is disintegrating and his brains are leaking out of his ears and absolutely no major media outlets have the guts to even suggest that we're being ruled by a mad king who probably shits himself on the daily. What a way to watch a nation fall.

I'd really like someone to ask Rob Manfred to comment on this.

In all honesty, it would be good for an honest-to-God report to make Rob Manfred comment on the President of the United States criticizing the sport he oversees. Ditto Roger Goodell. Please put microphones in people's faces instead of hoping the doughy fascist will go away.

If Manfred had been around, W would have had to settle for being born on second base.

Manfred probably spent thirty minutes on the phone with Trump around 11 last night listening to him about changing the name alternating with explaining that he's never written a drawing in his life

I’m not sure Manfred is going to have any insight on how often Trump shits himself.

When you combine hate with dementia and syphilitic brain rot you get Grandpa Hateraham Simpson conflating the original 16 teams of his youth with the NHL's original 6.

Manfred: Effective immediately, all MLB teams will be required to choose an alternate, more racist name. Jerseys will be made available for purchase in team shops or at whitehouse dot gov.

Thanks, the entire marketing departments of all thirty teams and the league offices just got called in to work on a Sunday.

did... he conflate MLB with the NHL and is thinking of the original six hockey teams?

It's just another myth he's spreading. It's Montreal Maroons erasure and it will not stand.

Just wait until he gets really desperate and starts calling for foreign players to be deported so that more “Americans “ can be in MLB.

Is he remembering that “original six” is something sports related and just running with it
jul 20, 2025, 3:13 pm • 1 1 • view
and even that isn't really an "original" anything - it's just an early stable alignment consisting entirely of teams that exist in today's NHL.

It's a configuration that was in place from 1942-67, so it's "original" to boomers. We can't get away from hearing "original six" for the same reason we can't get away from hearing "Baba O'Riley."

Becoming the “Rams” would be an acceptable tribute to their time as the Cleveland Naps, with Jose Ramirez playing the role of Nap Lajoie.

Looking forward to the confusion when the NL Atlanta and Chicago teams go back to their original Red Stockings and White Stockings, respectively.
