If I remember correctly John McHale Jr had pretty much checked out as President, Denise I was attempting a power play. A lot of factions squabbling over what direction to take the organization. Or at least that was the feeling of a couple of connections who got to look behind the curtain at the time.

Every time he opens his mouth he proves that he is indeed a stable genius. 😜 But then they all probably look alike to him

Once again the folks who screamed freedom at the top of their lungs over mask mandates now wanting to take away the freedom to vaccinate. Showing their true colors, it's not about freedom but control.

About halfway between Salt Lake and Reno. In other word middle of nowhere.

I learned my lesson a long long time ago. New kid in school from a northern state, the only "Yankee" in the class in 1964. Bet "new" friends about $12 total that the Yankees would beat the Cardinals in the World Series. Then there was the time I bet a buddy $50 based on an old Fritos commercial. "Bet you can't eat just one" for a year (I was 13). My parents found out about 6 months into the bet. Tried to sabotage me during a Scout camp week and filled by footlocker with"treats". We called off the bet. I also have the knack of picking horses that run extremely well until they hit the home stretch.

I’ve seen a report that Cominsky, Anzalone and Buggs have approached the team saying they’re willing to take less money to stay. If true the world has turned upside down

I had a chance to watch a couple playoff games last season. He is good.

Brett Maher has now missed 4 extra point kicks in a row. 0-3 tonight, a new record.

I'm not sure of the current situation but in 2020 Walled Lake seemed to be the pot capitol of SE Michigan. it's almost as if they've gone post prohibition. I'm in favor of legalization, the retail side seem to have gone the vape shop route where there is a store on every street corner. I almost hope VA goes the ABC type route. (They won't and the village I live near will consist of gun shops and pot stores)

Seeing where Tesla has begun cutting prices. It seems partly because they can't compete on the lower end models and partly because to tax breaks for customers who buy EV's under $55,000. We've been seeing more Teslas in this area of the country. I'm thinking a lot of it is the proximity to the DC suburbs. https://www.axios.com/2023/01/16/tesla-price-cuts-elon-musk?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiospm&stream=top

Back in the days where you could get the so called Superstations on cable. Depending on your service it was either the Cubs (WGN, I don't think they ever had a SOX broadcast) with Harry Caray, Braves (WTBS) Skip Caray, Pete Van Wieren and Mets (WOR) Ralph Kiner was the big draw. Granderson said he grew up watching Braves baseball

Granderson is a Chicago kid. He's been doing pre and post game stuff on the TNT broadcasts. I think he'd be good in someone's booth if that's what he wants.

What I really would want in a broadcast team is two people talking baseball. I don't want over the top analysis or jock speak. Give me someone who can give me insight in a normal way. Treat the broadcast as if you're talking to another adult. And no over the top gushing. That may be the thing that I enjoyed the few times I've listened to Dickerson and Avila last season, it was two guys just talking baseball between the PBP. You don't need all the ball and strike stuff on TV. Give me the facts and a little insight.

TBH most of the time when I do have the TV a broadcast on it's mostly white noise. If T-Mobile gives me the same deal this upcoming season, I'll continue with the radio overlay.

Just curious on any word on the radio side. I assume the #2 job is Price's as long as he's able. I'm wondering if there is a succession plan in place. Is it even on anybody's radar.

Too cheap to go after Alex Avila (maybe he doesn't want it) or Cameron Maybin (who was recently cut by YES). I have no clue how he sounds but he can't be as annoying as Craig. Then again it's the Illitch News Network

Why anyone would want to do business in FLA is beyond me.

I've seen more sexiness in Super Bowl Half Time shows

AAA will be using Robo Umps behind home plate this year. Interestingly half the games will be called with the ABS system calling all balls and strikes the other half will be played using a challenge system. Umps will call the game with each team getting three challenges https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/35434317/sources-all-aaa-parks-use-electronic-strike-zone-23

It also seems to be a way to delay/prolong trials and judgements. They keep doing things that chase away or fire attorneys. Every person deserves a day in court, but they are subverting the system and need to be tried in a timely matter.

He's smart, let him defend himself since he won't play well with others
