Firstly, Schilling is in remission

Secondly, I'm starting an official petition to rename the Athletics to the Oakland Red Sox

Lester, Crisp, Moss, and Lowrie, wow. Never noticed that, haha.

might do the Phillies later but I might get stuff wrong.

I'll do the Oakland A's soon

Great thread Zero.

Also @phillies if you need any help on where the 2008 Phillies are now, I'd be glad to help.

I can also give you some help on the Tigers roster, if needs be.

@Paul: Thanks!
