An interesting idea proposed by Old Hoss about league realignment
OldHossRadbourn Old Hoss RadbournDear "Bud" Selig, I know I've been mean. But please let re-alignment happen, and please re-name the leagues "Union" and "Rebel." Yrs, Hoss.
This is just straight up American. I really like Old Hoss.
OldHossRadbourn Old Hoss RadbournTest scores are low? Bah! My grand-pappy did not need a History PhD to murder red-coats and help craft the cradle of freedom.

Oh, we know.
Dante19jr Dante Bichette JrJust so you all know, I'll be officially a Yankee very very soon. And I'll let everyone know exactly what day. Go yanks!
Yes.
MosheTYA Moshe MandelIf Martin doesnt play again tomorrow, and Cervelli is still the starter...... #squeakydinosaurthateatspeople
Props to WWJD for this one. This was posted by Ledger Yankees, and it's hilarious.
Martin says his back is feeling better. In fact, he doesn’t feel an issue at all anymore. He said this with a giant heating pad on his back.

If you guys can't tell, Moshe and Old Hoss are two of my favorites. He's another tweet that basically read my mind.
MosheTYA Moshe MandelSo apparently Joe said he started Jones and Jorge over Brett bc with NL games coming, those two will get few regular ABs. Okay.
Tripping Olney basically speaking the thoughts of IGYAR out loud.
TrippingOlney Not Buster OlneyTHOSE GOOD OLD PHILLIES/MARINERS AND ANGELS/METS RIVALRIES. THAT'S WHAT INTERLEAGUE IS ALL ABOUT.

With actual dynamite? Or just with runs scored via various methods?
OldHossRadbourn Old Hoss RadbournHave enough historical events occurred at Wrigley Field for the Yankees to deem it worthy of demolition?
Definitely a challenger for Tweet of the Week. This is indeed a huge step for all of mankind.
OldHossRadbourn Old Hoss RadbournAnnouncer J. Buck just admitted he didn't know something. A big step. Soon he'll call every American and make amends.

It's funny because the Cubs were extremely hesitant to throw him anything other than off-speed junk.
JackCurryYES Jack CurrySabathia has .258 avg and 3 homers in his career. And guess what? He'll be up there hacking. In 101 plate appearances, CC has walked once
