How about the Mariners actually make the playoffs at all? They haven't since blowing their 116 win season and wasting the careers of Ichiro Suzuki and Edgar Martinez, amongst others. Yankees - them and their absurd payroll advantage can get bent. I hope another underdog like Atlanta pulls off something against the odds. Or the Rays not wasting their window (because their stadium deal is an utter joke and that they are being forced to stay in a non-Tampa area that doesn't attend due to a jerk of a council is pathetic) or that Anaheim stops wasting Ohtani's and Trout's careers, but Arte Moreno is one of the worst meddling owners ever with his free agency whiffing and trying to rebrand Anaheim into LA.

Still this remains one of my all-time favorite shows.

I gave this a shot a couple of months ago and I was very underwhelmed, dropping it after a few eps. And after looking at Touch for a bit and also dropping it, I have just accepted Adachi is very, very subjective. And that you really need to be emotional to appreciate it. Which I am not. Only baseball series I ever liked was One Outs - very adult and very reason/mental/psychological. But I guess most sports titles are middle/high school and very emotional, which is why I avoid them. Just not my thing.
