  1. I did in 2005 or 2006. I wouldn't say it's chaotic but it can be a wait. You line up out in the OF, on the ramp that goes underground below the centerfield concourse. Then you walk out along the tunnel in RF to home plate. I believe they run from 1st to home, that keeps things organized so you don't have collisions at the plate. THen you walk back up to the concourse from an area by the dugout.
  2. I'm not opposed to that but it is a side effect and if the intent is to make them a democratic seat, under the guise of racial equality, rather than siply minority represented (which is a key difference to me) then the overall effect may be negated.
  3. I was being sarcastic by the way Some coaches and managers like doing this. Leyland would sub a guy into the order slot of the guy they're replacing. Trammell did his Sunday lineup.
  4. Yes, and that's also an unintended consequence to making districts comply with US Civil Rights/Voting Rights laws. To "guarantee" a blue seat by making it bluer you make neighboring districts redder. So instead of a generally reliable blue seat and a swing district you get a locked blue seat and a pink seat nearby.
  5. Yep. play the game as it's played by the opposition not how you think it should be played.
  6. If DeJesus didn't throw the 3rd out away after having him picked off... it's a different game. At that point AJ just said "Screw it...." We left in that inning. My younger son was with me and he typically goes to bed at 8 so he was already ready.
  7. The #5 hitter is the same as the #4 hitter but the better one bats 4th. And the #9 hitter is the 'secondary' leadoff hitter. The same kind of player as the leadoff guy but maybe a 2nd year player or some other trait that knocks him down a notch. He's gotta "set the table" once the game gets into the middle innings. The 8 hitter is the worst guy... your Gerald Laird or Adam Everett's of the world.
  8. and also a political stunt. "oppose this? Ok. You hate christians and religion. Let's write the ad copy out of that"
  9. Their purpose isn’t teaching or expression. It’s just to bully.
  10. According to my girl Stephanie the system is breaking up and moving southwest so if Detroit gets anything it won’t be a big deal or last long. Unless she was talking just to me?
  11. It goes back to when they played Kokomo the day Brian Wilson died.
  12. The Brewers are 12-9 and in last place.
  13. half of htem had a pack of smokes on them and nobody cared
  14. Rob Deer was better than conventional wisdom portrays him.
  15. The general public waves start at 10 and continue 11:21.
  16. FWIW, I typically leave the regent races blank on my ballot as I don't know them and I don't really care.
  17. Maklid beat out Acker, who had his own issues to deal with....
  18. Its not about interference, it's the opposite. It's so fans can experience both. The idea is fans can leave the game and about a mile away to see people finish.
  19. I picked up a couple of nosebleeds for my me and my son tonight. Only game this round I could probably make.
  20. McGonigle’s first ML game was in San Diego in front of 45,000 fans. He had 4 hits.
  21. I’m glad they didn’t have the attitude for Kevin McGonigle.
  22. Where the game is broadcast is irrelevant to their playing. The only consideration I’d give on a delay would be his travel situation
  23. saw a lot of references to the end of the show on how important it was to see two men talk and deal with mental health and trauma.
