    Is there a lid on that bucket?

    OK, so they'll move those load management days from these 4-6 games to any of the other 76-78 games on the schedule.

    It is stupid. I am old. It made money. It generated interest. All of these can be true. But just because something draws interest and generates money doesn't mean it can't be stupid.

    I think the ABA or CBA used to do this. Wining the game was 3 points for the standings, winning a quarter was 1 point. I don’t know if the standInge were then based off of these points. They must have been, why else go through the hassle?

    Is that what is meant by parity, the ability to win a division?

    I assume they had a home crowd advantage as well. I guess another thing I don’t understand is that all of the tournament games count in the regular season standings and the statistics are accumulated as well. Except for the final game of the tournament. Maybe it’s just the way my head is wired, but that doesn’t really make much sense to me. I realize the way they add games to the schedule to get everyone to 82, and the tourney title would be 83. Ok. Hold off on or significantly limiy East vs West games until after the tournament is done. Don’t close out a season series between teams until after its over. Then whatever the matchup is, just cancel the second regularly schedule game of the season to keep those teams at 82 games.

    Seth Lugo signed with Kansas City for $45M over 3 seasons. Oh, and get this, he isn’t deferring any of it until after the playing contract is up.

    Aw, those poor Giants, bless their little hearts.

    Doesn’t baseball have the most parity? Almost all teams have a winning percentage between 40-60% at the end of the regular season. That can’t be said of football or basketball.

    Huh, never knew that. We toured the Christmas Story house this past spring. Tiny little place, they definitely did some camera tricks.

    I believe the better question is what is wrong with his fearlessly following flock of freaks?

    I'm glad they made more money. Its still a fake tournament in the grand scheme of a real NBA season.

    You spelled hair plugs wrong.

    Hold on, that was Ralphie's mom in the sack in Slapshot?

    Pull my finger.

    I like how his basketball reference page shows all 5 positions for him over the years. Maybe those designations were more concrete in the past and there is more subjectivity to his position now. There's more positionless basketball now, but he's also been positionless throughout much of his career anyway.

    How well are the current Piston projects going?

    What's on sale this week? Some sugar to rot your teeth and some toothpaste to clean your teeth.

    I understand that there is an equilibrium for the present value of future expenses, and without going into the math, let's agree that $450M/10 now = $700M/10 later. Seems close enough in theory to not quibble about that details, the concept of that individual contract with low cost now to help build a winner now makes sense. But if deferring money begins to pick up steam, what happens in the present with ownership ready to win now pitching these contracts such that they're only paying for fewer premium contracts now, but the deferrals are due later on? What happens to that team in 10 years when the previous deferrals are due as well as the current (at the that point in time) contracts? Could this become a problem? Maybe this is a slippery slope concern, I don't know. Obviously we've seen deferrals before, Bobby Bonilla Day is probably of legal drinking age by now. And it probably isn't going to be something for everybody, not all players/teams are going to engage in this.

    Pretty sure Canada is done for a while with this crowd after the latest rule V party.

    Did the Pistons look better and/or did the Pacers play at about 80% effort?
  22. casimir
    Its about time the Dodgers catch a break.
  23. casimir
    Wilma Flintstone vs Betty Rubble. Discuss.
  24. casimir
    Yes. The Tigers finished 9 games behind. They've got roster work to do still.

    Hopefully he progresses to being a better pitcher and all of our worries with his control become a thing of the past.
