Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

I'm surprised the Dropkick Murphys aren't trying to cash in on this.
There version of Tessie is like nails on a chalkboard for me. It was always the first song I heard when I played MVP 2005 and just that opening old-timey piano lick at the beginning. Ugh.

That said - they did some cool stuff when we were marching in Madison back in 2010 when Scott Walker and the GOP were working to take away collective bargaining from public workers. Their tweet to Walker demanding he stop using their music and concluding with the line "we literally hate you' was pretty awesome. I also literally hate Scott Walker.
Im okay with them for the most part but much prefer the original vocalist.
Its their Bostonian neo-jingoism that I tire of most.
Yeah. They were a solid street punk band back in the day.

Well, it's 68 degrees in Los Angeles, guess it's a good thing there's no game here. I can't even with this cold weather. Had to drag the coats out of the closet this weekend.
You wear a...a coat...at 68? That's like shorts-and-tees weather over here.

I loved MLB 2005.

The worst thing about Dropkick is that their first album is fucking great, and their next two are still solid. But my god.
I still have it installed on my PC! It's aged well and I don't think another PC based baseball game since has been as good and the depth of modding is fantastic - getting to play past seasons is really fun.

In all seriousness, I am quite pleased that they've sent clear signals that he's a fucking embarrassment and does not represent the image the team wants to present. As long as Pedro and Papi are available, there are much better options.

Izzy Alcántara would get a warmer welcome.

Ceremonial first kick?

No names on jerseys is pretty arrogant, considering a shitload of people who aren't regular watchers are watching

Only the Red Sox and Yankees do that I think. And the Yankees don't even do it on road uniforms. It is pretty dumb, tho, imo.
