that makes too much sense to actually happen. but in reality, the tv revenue wouldnt be enough to warrant it. that's too many mouths to feed. that's the reason they arent adding wash and oregon now, they dont change the revenue equation and would just lower everyone else's take. the only way to get notre dame would be to lock them out of scheduling other big ten teams, other than that they'll just live off their games with michigan, usc, stanford, etc and take all the money for themselves. btw, how lucky are northweterrn, purdue, indiana, RUTGERS, for being in the big ten? they'd be nothing if they werent in the conference. they'd be kansas, an afterthought.

live shot of me in my paris cafe, commenting on the pointlessness of existence, ranting to strangers about taking jobe over mayer, and the uselessness of the sacrifice bunt. (the lady on the right insists that jobe's otherwordly spin rate was reason enough to take the gamble, so i did what all good frenchmen do, i quit the argument and lit up a galoises, smug in my superiority that high school right handed pitchers are injury risks waiting to happen and it doesnt matter anyway because nothing matters in this world and all tigers' pitchers get hurt.) /fin

i think this season has been decently successful so far. improvement from greene. carpenter has continued to hit well. torkelson has been slowly improving. lorenzen and rodriguez have pitched well enough to be valuable trade chips. a couple guys in the bullpen could bring back something. players like keith, meadows, and a few others continue to be successful in the minors. while that doesnt mean they'll ever be good major leaguers, it beats the alternative! the downsides are the continued injuries to the pitchers. but jobe and skubal are back and skubal is perfoming well in the majors. they just dont have a lot of talent top to bottom. but the fact that lorenzen and rodriguez have performed as well as they have means they have a very good chance to add more.

win three of four against the royals: "we should totally be buyers, we are so ready to compete in this weak division". lose a couple to the angels: "we are in a dystopian hellscape of despair and will never win another game." you guys are the best.

he was a former "#1" prospect who became a solid to really good starter, but never ended up being the next justin verlander.

exactly. let him show last year wasnt a fluke. and then let him show it again after ben johnson leaves next year.

they dont care about that. in reality, tv would LOVE it if there were incidents so they could talk about and get more people to watch. michigan and michigan state should care, but they are beholden to whatever their paymasters at fox tell them to do. they signed the contract, they live with the consequences.

all this means is that Syndegaard is ready/close to go back on the DL.

toronto puts murray on the ltir. he's not injured, they just want the cap space. and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

did cleveland need someone to put on the disabled list? is that a thing? are they trying to win a "who has the most injured players" contest?

teddy is likely waiting for someone to get hurt in training camp.

sure, but that's a mere violent assault. this....THIS....is a HAMBURGER. and that's obviously much more important than mere life and death. how dare you lie about a hamburger to the ncaa.

brian kelly kills a kid. georgia has more speeding than daytona speedway. but michigan gets a coach suspended because he bought a kid a hamburger and then wouldnt kiss the ncaa's ass over it.

for a hamburger.

alright! were buyers again! whoo hoo!

lolions. let's slow down that hype train a bit.

so we're sellers again? lol.

the defense was terrible. that's a big reason why they went for it so much. they had to score a ton of points to win. as the defense improved, i think they slowed down on the 4th down conversion attempts (but still did a lot of them).

the nhl would figure out a way to make it work for the leafs.

take 3 of 4 from the royals and suddenly were the 27 yankees. see the big picture and sell anything that's not in the long term plan.
