Anyone remember the Warner Brothers cartoon where there is a chihuahua and a bulldog and the bulldog walks around tough like and the chihuahua is jumping around in front of him going "Yeah, cause you and me are pals, ain't we, Chester?!" Right? Cause we're pals, right Chester? Huh? We're pals, ain't we? Ain't we, Chester?!"
That's what this Ohtani chase reminds me of.
Imagine yourself being only 23 and making an entire pro league write "essays" on why you should play for them! Anyone think of "A Christmas Story" right about now? "I want you to write....a theme. What I want for Christmas."
Suddenly, all 30 major league teams became Ralphie.
Must be pretty flippin' nice to sit back, put your feet up at 23 and wait for Major League Baseball to turn in their assignments!
What's your point? Jealous maybe, or is this a "get off my lawn" thing.
