I would never want a dome here.... the weather isnt that bad. If MN can get by without one, so can we. My wife makes fun of me for never wanting to go to a Rays game when we've done our vacations down in that area. Inside baseball stadiums are not appealing to me at all

I was there last month and the Padres were on the east coast so the games were on in the late afternoon/early evening. We were on the beach and every bar we walked by had the Padres on every TV. and people were engaged with it.

Or got lit up. As in lit up… if you know what I mean.

You have no ****ing idea what you are talking about. Just quit now. I’ve been on undercover operations and this is not how they are carried out.

Some peoole just hate being exposed to things. It’s TV. Why do you need “more baseball” when you can see what happens. It’s not like Bennetti ignores the plays. He just interjects an anecdote here and there. He’s not sacrificing anything by referencing pop culture or making a joke. Venn diagram please of people who hate Benetti and also coincidentally female broadcasters.

I think a lot of those are already in danger just as people become smarter and have access to more info. I haven't used an airline booking agent since 2002, and that was a corporate booking thing thru American Express. The company made us do it. For some of it, I suspect it's similar to people thinking calculators and computers would get rid of engineers since it replaced slide rules. No. It was just a tool to help them be better.

Yes. His dad was a union official so he knew how the game was played.

This is what happens when we give out participation trophies

it's not the job of other people to prove your point. Until you prove it then it's regarded as gibberish.

It's not an insult. You said you didnt know, therefore admitting to your ignorance.

I'll let this ignorance speak for itself then

Yes. I go on etsy and order a vest that says "POLICE" on it.

I want my free chick fil a sandwich. I've gotten used to them this season. I've had 5 of them so far.

It was and my gut told me also that it sparked the team. But when I went to verify that was their 6th win in 7 games. And they followed this win with losing 2 of 3 at the Cubs. But then they won 6 in a row. I think it sparked the fans interest again. I still can't pinpoint when I actually expected them to make the playoffs.

It should upset everyone that masked people can get away with just snatching people off the street. It should be very clear to everyone who's around who they are and what their official business is. This is not a police state.

They were too busy looking up the NFL on Fox schedules

I think anybody on the lists for the first 15 rounds have mastered that to a certain degree. The point I was trying to make is I don’t see it as a drafting skill if you got an MLB guy in round 7 because if the team before you picked him I don’t see it as a guarante he makes it. I’m not saying its all random but outside of the top 5 picks and the can’t miss players that fall thru the cracks, like a piazza, it’s your dev ops that will sustain you.

WKRP - Johnny Fever every Johnny Fever clip from WKRP followed by the song he hyped.

Holton should have had that

What’s all that **** flying around? Looks like bubbles. Pollen ?

I stand by Biggs old statement that Tony Clark is the line on a good draft. If you can get him or better then you win. it’s not drafting. It’s development. Those two things are mutually exclusive. Players aren’t finished products. Good orgs can make good players. And not every good player needs to play for your org for 10 years. “Know when to fold ‘em”. I want a history of this team where in 5 years we are talking about players doing well who is not in anybody’s radar now.

I agree on Eduardo. The critics overstate his value when everything since seems to go against that. The critics weren’t in the room or on the calls.

The same reaction towards DD if he had traded Scherzer prior to the 2014 season since he wouldn't sign him and the team got swept in the 1st round by the Baltimore Orioles. "He wasted the best pitching staff since the Braves in the 90's..." "Max would have been the difference maker"

Hank Winchester cleared of all charges

Yeah it wasn't conclusive to me either and it wasn't worth Baldelli being a clown again.
