  1. understood. i dont think the us will move into ukraine under any circumstances, so i dont think we have to worry about it.
  2. a temporary workstoppage will not affect baseball's fandom. what is affecting baseball's fandom is that the game has become very slow in an age where people dont have that much attention span anymore. as soon as there are baseball games to go to outside in the summer when its warm, there will be tons of fans in the seats. just like there has been after every work stoppage. the nhl cancelled a whole damn season and fans came back and the league expanded multiple times! people dont drop sports because of labor disputes.
  3. why would nato moving against ukraine cause china to move against taiwan? because the us would be too occupied in europe to fight?
  4. its not an "anti-lions agenda", its just laziness and shoddy work, i.e.: "journalism for click bait."
  5. And I think people are silly for criticizing it. so here we are.
  6. true. not just dictatorships. ask LBJ.
  7. you should look into those examples more and you'll often find competing interests behind the scenes that are influencing those you perceive to be 100% in charge.
  8. well, that's what lee said. also, i guess i just dont see what the big deal is over what manfred said. every side spins pr in a public negotiation. so what?
  9. better in period two.
  10. lol, "do you think the PLAYERS give a shit about the fans"? i forgot a word in there...
  11. has russia produced any non-reformist, expansionist leaders other than vladimir putin? and - again - i was saying i thinknit is likely that this is not ALL putin, because none of us know the inner workings of the russian leadership hierarchy, no matter what twitter tells us. i imagine there are people in the army and russia's foreign policy apparatus who believe in its need to expand and protect its borders other than just putin ,as you appear to be suggesting. however, i dont really know. but i think its a strong possibility.
  12. do you think give a shit about the fans?
  13. for so much of the game they really struggle to control the puck against good teams.
  14. he didnt say anything stupid. he stated the owners position on the negotiations.
  15. the pitch clock is a good idea. the actual enforcement of it would be even better. step 2: you cant step out of the box. let us return to the sanity of 2 hour baseball games again.
  16. he's the face of the corporation, did you expect him to get up there and cry? he got up and told the owners story. youre like people arguing that tony clark should have showed more emotion as a player and because he didnt, he didnt love the game.
  17. its good to hear that the league wants to institute pitch clocks by 2023, along with banning the shift and larger bases. the pitch clock, at least, is a positive sign.
  18. what did people expect him to say? i heard his speech and it was exactly what any executive would say. we thank the union for participating and we look forward to negotiating more but we gave up a lot and we couldnt come to an agreement. union comes up and says the opposite. rinse, repeat.
  19. they own a house in rogers park. her father bought the lot next door so they dont have to have neighbors. one of our friends is high up in the union and has been there for parties, says its a gorgeous house. she's a real marxist, though. which is hilarious. she is certainly rich and privileged enough to be a modern day marxist.
  20. nba and nhl finals end in june or july? soccer and football start up in august, i think. as long as there ia baseball by july it will be ok.
  21. chicago has suspended moscow's sister city status. take that, putin!
  22. decisions made in haste and based on the emotions of the moment are rarely without serious, unforseen consequences later on.
  23. lol. turkey is like, wtf?
