  1. I was there a week ago. A block from the beach. View from our balcony. The ocean is beyond those buildings. A lot of people sleep on the beach at night. Obviously homeless. They leave during the day. I hope they are ok.
  2. It’s possible that the agreements allow MLB to access all the betting data and they discovered it themselves.
  3. Was it due to time or just "he's not on our team anymore, get him out of there before he gets hurt or something and it voids"? I don't know, I was at Michigan Adventure at the time and trying to get updates on a dying cell phone while standing in line for a roller coaster.
  4. During the strike in '94 and '95 he got a lot of national heat for showing up to the meetings in a limo. But that was his only car. He and his wife owned a recording studio and they used that for clients. That was literally their car.
  5. Bongino had some "cryptic" statement the other day about things he's seen that would "blow you away" and I interpreted that to be a way to walk back his hard line stance and fend off the wolves until they forget about it. "Just wait until I tell you about what I see...." Then in 2-3 years nobody remembers.
  6. and I was mad because my cable system didn't have WOR and WOR would show pro wrestling
  7. I read a book on the Busch family, of Budweiser fame. It's fantastic. Very typical of family business dramas you'd see on TV and in movies. Caray was getting too popualr in St. Louis and was running around with either a Busch daughter or the wife of a Busch son. Also Busch beer was created because of the baseball stadium. The league wouldn't let him name the stadium after his beer so he named it after the family, then created the beer.
  8. WGN played a big part obviously but for me specifically given my age it was huge that they didn't play night games at Wrigley. I was born in '73 so by the time I got to the age where I was too old to "go out and play" during the day, I'd sleep in until 10 or 11, lounge around all day, and watch the Cubs on WGN until going out in the evening or to work. From about 87-89 during the week I was watching them play during the day. I probably watched them more than the Tigers to be honest. That Cubs era has a special place for me.
  9. I'm not an expert but I won't be upset if the team doesn't get Suarez.
  10. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMqXVv6SvES/?igsh=dWdhMHlhc2lmOThr According to that, when Clase comes into the game in the 9th, his first pitch “waste pitch” percentage (ball way out of the zone) is 17.5%. Every other pitch is 5%.
  11. Why is Scott Harris making these guys get hurt?
  12. Reese Olson done for the year. So there’s that
  13. Reese Olson done for the year
  14. I'd guess these are for "harmless" bets like certain pitches being balls.
  15. Only 3 participants of the first 10 Wrestlemania main events are still alive. Ted DiBiase, Sgt Slaughter, and Bret Hart. (I'm not counting Mr. T as he wasn't a 'rassler' so to speak)
