Okay, I think the College Football Cartell is sending Notre Dame a message now. Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Cincinnati and Oklahoma State are all ranked ahead of them and all of them have to play in a conference championship game. Notre Dame is sitting pretty, pretending they are in the ACC, but not having to play by the rules. I think it keeps them out of the playoffs. Maybe Brian Kelly sees that and sees that he'll always have to be perfect just to get in. Who knows, but he's in LSU now. He has one 9-3 year and they'll tear him to pieces. Good.

That's like Coming To America when Akeem thought he was a guest. Brian Kelly is a scumbag Brian Kelly killed a kid

Yeah, that's really the question, Bertie. Not liking what I'm hearing. What bothers me so much is that baseball has been sliding for a very long time and I don't know that it's truly recovered from 1994's dispute. That might be part of it, along with the cost of attending a game, the lack of star recognition and many more distractions during the summer, but if they hold out for a really long time and we're not playing by June or later, I think they'll do permanent damage to the game with a lot of people - and I don't think either side sees that, they seem to be in their own little bubbles and the fans have nothing to do with the game. That's a dangerous way to think.

We will need a 3rd (and probably a 4th) catcher. Those guys get banged up.

Take away his games vs. the Tigers and he's closer to 350.

School shootings strike a raw nerve around here. If you don't know why, maybe you should go somewhere else to spew.

He killed 3 people, I'm sure they're going to just let him walk. You're baiting and guys like you don't last long around here, just like with the old b card, Stan, because it's all you do, Stan. You're a useless troll, Stan. When you're gone, we'll throw a little party and make jokes about your mom.

Piss off.

They are talking to an 18 year old student who said there was a rumor leading up to today.

HEYMODERATORS, Can we 86 this idiot from the site?

Shooter is a 15 year old Sophomore at the school

9 people were shot.

At least 3 fatalities. Fuck. AND WE'LL DO NOTHING. NOT A GOD DAMNED THING

How hard is it to do parody right now? The Onion is f**ked.

Remember when it was "meet me behind the school at 3?" Not the best solution, but a whole lot better than this garbage.

This hilarious picture sums it up well

It was a nice stadium, it was as wasteful as demolishing The Palace. Just stupid. Because it was too hot? You didn't know how hot it gets in Texas when you built it?

My girlfriend is a teacher at Lake Orion High and they have what they call a "Code Yellow". I think that means that everyone stays in the classrooms they are in until further notice.

I think Reyes is alright as a 4th OF option because he can play anywhere in the OF. He just has to avoid his Rayburnitis of hitting like crap early and hitting like an all-star when the team's already out of the playoff picture.

Yes, that's a joke. They moved into a new ugly-ass stadium when the old one was just fine.

Won't be a 2023, the Omega strain will have wiped us all out by then.

I don't know. I see Alexander as a bullpen guy that starts late in the season again. I think they are going to sign another starter. Maybe Peralta comes back, maybe Stroman or Rodon. I would love to see them sign Rodon just to spite the White Sox

How stupid are the Mets and Rangers going to look when they don't make the playoffs next year?

Again, I will bring this up from the past. Many of us wanted Rich Aurilia when he was a free agent. Seattle got him so we took Carlos Guillen off their hands. Guillen was a huge part of this team's resurgence and Aurilia looked like, well, a steroid flash-in-the-pan (he was Bonds' teammate). We won. Not saying Carlos is a steroid user, he obviously is not, but we were so focused on the big name that we lost sight of the fact that any of the big FA shortstops was going to be a big upgrade over what we (didn't) have. Someone is going to sign Correa to a ridiculous deal. Let it be their problem if he doesn't live up to it. The one year he hit over .300 was the year the Astros were stealing signs. He hasn't come close other than that. Great player, sure, Superstar? I don't know. Signing him probably prevents the Tigers from doing any other big moves for the next few years. Now they have some wiggle room to add something they might really need.

I like Baez a lot more than many of you do. Lets say Kreidler does look really good as a shortstop, you can move Baez around. Hinch loves those kind of guys. Maybe the different approach he took with the Mets of cutting down strikeouts and seriously raising his OBP will continue here, but even if they don't, we've made a serious upgrade at SS from what we had. Especially defensively. This is a guy that only 2 seasons ago saved 31 runs at short, which is a ridiculous number. Think how much that could help E-Rod alone. 2020 he was on a pace of about 18 runs saved. It did drop a bit in 2021, but I don't think he's deteriorating that quickly, just an off year.
