    Cleveland should have run away with it early, but they couldn't hit free throws. Sign of the times:

    They should replace the palm tree patch with a "negotiating" table.

    That Cardinals hat just screams photoshop some bird poop on the bill.

    Cleveland Cavaliers (35-23) vs Detroit Pistons (13-45)

    Hadn't thought of that. Damn, you're old. 😁

    Guess what we were discussing at work (a manufacturing facility) today?

    Seeing the green of the field as you come through the walkway..... That's what the lawn looks like in heaven.

    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?

    Then you’re in the right place.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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?

    I think the Finnish cross country skier in the Olympics could give this a run.

    But Boras is agitating for it, and Boras rhymes with morals.

    When pigs fly, Chuck, when pigs fly.

    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.

    Cancun?

    I heard this on MLB radio the other day. If MLB ballparks start adding concerts and other events to their 2022 Julian calendars.....

    And planes and automobiles.

    The thing that I love about the idea of MLB & promotion/relegation is that if you ask anyone on favor of it how it should be handled, there is not recommendation on how to do it.

    It is because I'm an idiot, but you people should already'of picked up on that.

    So much urgency that they are taking the weekend off from the negotiating table? I guess what else what else should we expect from a sport that won't address its lackluster pace of play issues. Manfred is strolling around the mound, gets back on the mound. Clark steps out of the box, plays with his batting gloves, gets back in the box. Manfred needs to go through the pitching signs again with his catcher because he can't remember what the one is and what the two is. Once the catcher gets back behind the plate, a midge flies in Clark's eye, so he steps out again and the trainer has to visit him with some eye wash. Clark gets back in, but Manfred now has to get the rosin back. Clark then needs some more pine tar. But I guess this us more activity than there was in December and January, so do we call this progress?
