  1. One of the nice aspects of this blog is that, when the major league team is unwatchable, there is always going to be a sign of hope somewhere in the minors.

    For example, I look forward to entering September 2027 wondering if rookie second baseman Furman will hold his .404 batting average through the end of the season to become the first major leader to hit .400 in upwards of a century. :)
