  1. Crud, I forgot about factoring in promotion/relegation like the kewl sports do.
  2. Diallo is fun to watch when he’s going well. There’s a bit of early Piston Rodman off of the bench kind of energy with him. Certainly different kinds of players, but he seems to have an extra gear out there at times.
  3. What’s the point of protecting the AL and NL now that both have the DH? Didn’t we agree last ween to realign geographically if/when they expand? Heck, let’s do it now. Got plenty of time to figure it out before an agreement is in place.
  4. Guess what's coming back?
  5. Cleveland should have run away with it early, but they couldn't hit free throws. Sign of the times:
  6. They should replace the palm tree patch with a "negotiating" table.
  7. That Cardinals hat just screams photoshop some bird poop on the bill.
  8. Cleveland Cavaliers (35-23) vs Detroit Pistons (13-45)
  9. Hadn't thought of that. Damn, you're old. 😁
  10. Guess what we were discussing at work (a manufacturing facility) today?
  11. Seeing the green of the field as you come through the walkway..... That's what the lawn looks like in heaven.
  12. My understanding is that NBA has a pretty direct oversight of the G. MLB doesn’t have quite the same authority over MiLB, but it seems to be increasing. I think the G league article mentioned a $50K salary. Call a minor league roster 30 players (extra players for injuries), and a minor league team is at $1.5M in player salaries. Each MLB team has, what, 6 minor league teams? They can’t cover $9M in reasonable minor league player salaries?
  13. Then you’re in the right place.
  14. I think there's a way to unionize the minor leaguers such that they can get more reasonable pay & benefits. And if MLB is taking over more of the direction of MiLB, it seems like the MLBPA might have more interest in how its minor leaguers are handled.
  15. I guess I got lost here. Do mean differences between the sports or differences between majors/minors? Or is it the difference on both variables?
  16. There’s a line there in that Hayes punched a student and Howard went after a coach. I just assume that with all of the legality today that UoM would suspend in the short term, complete it’s “due diligence”, and then offer a chance for Howard to resign or be fired.
  17. Its a shame. I really liked Howard as the UoM basketball coach. I understand this hasn't been a great season, but he seemed like a great follow up to Beilein. Automatic suspension for the rest of the year is an easy call. If he continues to show no remorse, jeez, how can you keep him?
  18. I think the Finnish cross country skier in the Olympics could give this a run.
  19. But Boras is agitating for it, and Boras rhymes with morals.
  20. When pigs fly, Chuck, when pigs fly.
  21. Why doesn't the MLBPA stump for unionization in the minor leagues? The NBPA helped form the BPU for the G League in professional basketball during the pandemic.
  22. I heard this on MLB radio the other day. If MLB ballparks start adding concerts and other events to their 2022 Julian calendars.....
