  1. there were multiple rule changes approved. lets see how they play out before declaring they are all stupid because rob manfred is teh stupidest.
  2. lol. ok. how many times, chas? once? five times in fifty years? maybe? give me a break.
  3. the primary driver was to bring back the stolen base and speed back into the game. again, to put action and athleticism back into the game and try to incentivize teams to move away from the "three true outcomes" baseball that has made it largely a boring, stationary, drawn out affair.
  4. an "entertaining possibility" that almost never ever happens. i bet you were on the edge of your seat during every intentional walk. lol. come on.
  5. the ibb rule change is very good. the "botched" ibb almost never ever ever happens. and it simply wastes time. this was a good rule change. the dumbest rule change continues to be starting a runner at second base in extra innings. all the rest of the rule changes are fine. someday y'all will get over your manfred hate and agree that some - SOME - of these changes make good sense in a changing world. or at least give them a chance.
  6. its a very good roman empire name.
  7. someone with the name spencer torkleson is just begging to be named the Duke of Something or Another...
  8. they did beat the lions 44-6 last year...
  9. i like all the moves and am interested to see how they work at the mlb level.
  10. directv is gonna lose sunday ticket soon so you should be ok moving forward.
  11. they dont need to spend a ton of money on non-elite free agents. they need to draft and develop players better. #thankscaptainobvious
  12. you can also make more money if you have a better product to sell.
  13. i guess you could use 1947 because of jackie robinson. i would probably put it in the 1920s with ruth and the beginning of the movement away from the cobb era of small ball.
  14. turn of the century cubs count as "modern baseball"?
  15. good. rob manfred doing god's work.
  16. i make fun of people on the tigers' thread who link to youtube videos of prospects but i eat that up on the wings forum. i love it. #yzerplan
  17. ragnow and kraemer both did not practice today. lions looking at major injuries on the oline already. against a team with a good interior dline. hopefully precautionary for ragnow.
  18. its zero. those other conferences will get one team and the big ten/sec will get the 8. the money difference will continue to grow. and eventually the sec/big ten will break away and form their own competition. maybe they'll call it "the champions league?"
  19. ucla is only there because they have usc and the LA tv market. they dont care about sports and are a public school that cant compete. but their basketball team still has cachet!
  20. they do an in season hard knocks. its the cardinals this year.
  21. eagles are a good team. the lions beating them in week one would mean a lot.
  22. nyah, i hate any mew ugly jerseys.
  23. its a practice squad qb. who cares?
  24. those are awful. the pistons already have a classic jersey. all their attempts to change it have been god awful.
  25. 4 million for a bullshit game against colorado state.
