    because the owners set a deadline and said that was their "final" offer. Supposedly they are meeting again today.

    Loving your country and continuously supporting Donald Trump are conflicting ideals.

    That’s exactly how my 21 year old does it. Only big games like UM/OSU gets his attention full time.

    this guy's a douchebag. They should have knocked him on his ass.

    He was convinced because either Jared or Ivanka or other free loading crony got something out of it like a loan extension, patent, or some other nonsense. Not one decision made by that admin was done with the interests of the American people in mind. There was always something in it for them.

    THey don't play night games here until late April now and even then they moved the times up to 6:40. Even a decent 65 degree day in May will mean it's 40 by 8 pm. Also throw in the NHL and NBA playoffs for sports fans and does anybody really watch baseball in April beyond hard core people?

    That could be for warmth.... I'm sensitive to this because I have a special needs child. He's unaffected by this. But I read a story about another child who had some disease where covid could be fatal and virus effectivity for him is a lot lower. When he heard about the schools getting rid of the mask mandate he started crying and asked his mom "Does this mean I can't go to school now?" There's a lot of families dealing with that. I'm not saying everybody has to adjust their way of doing things but just show some empathy because we don't know everyone's story.

    There will be some who swear to never go back, the same ones who burn Nike jerseys and whatnot. But a nice summer Friday or Saturday evening in July will have Comerica Park packed. And the winning teams will have fans back in those towns to a higher degree. I really buy into the theory proposed by one of the writers that the owners realized they don't need April games to be profitable. I wonder if you do the math are they even profitable during that time? The games seem more like a chore to get through. Kids in school, barely anybody at the park during the week, yet they still have almost as much cost to even play a game.

    You never know why someone is wearing a mask. Maybe their spouse or parent is immunocompromised? Not having to wear a mask and having vaccines is great for the vast majority of people but for some, a lot of people, it's still a nightmare for a virus as contagious as Omicron.

    It's not complicated. Person A says "Bomb their yachts" Person B says "That will lead to WW3" You say "No it won't" Person B says you are in favor of bombing yachts.

    Once people cancel something they learn they didn't really need it. I believe the pandemic taught many people that lesson. For whatever reason they went without something, whether it's a product/service or a job, and after a period of time said "I don't need it". No matter.... as long as there's gamblers the sport will be 'fine".

    And people criticize it. That’s how it works.

    But that’s not what Manfred claimed. He said #1 priority. Arguing over money is not not making fans #1. That’s why it is bullshit.

    Just because you know what they are going to say doesn’t mean you can’t call it out for being bullshit.

    oh wow.... this is a heart stopper and I don't use that phrase lightly.

    Burt was legendary on Carson's old show... so successful they talked about him doing his own show, either replacing Johnny at one point or doing the Letterman slot before Dave got it. Two other thoughts: Props to Marc for holding his own Norm's impersonation on SNL was so so good....

    So it looks like a deal?

    Just frustrating. Like having a neighbor that you know is going to poison your dog or smash your windows but you can’t do anything until they do it.

    What would be so bad if other countries just snuck in some pilots and planes and shot up those convoys? Who would have to know? Just deny it. “Wasn’t us?” Why can’t it be done now? They have equipment.

    They could have said no carts or only one person per cart. No foursomes. Stay six feet apart. of course nobody would have listened. But I give a pass on rules until around June.
