  1. Once you walked into the bleachers section, you were fenced off from the LF grandstand and RF reserved seat sections. However, if there was a guy manning the gate at the fence, he would let you out of the bleachers and into the grandstands if you slipped him as little as a dollar. From there you could walk around to the rest of the ballpark.
  2. I saw at least a hundred games in the upper deck bleachers during my late teens and early 20s, and the only time I ever saw anyone hit a homer up there was Jose Canseco, during the same game Cecil hit one over the LF roof.
  3. Sure, I’ll call you Jingleheimer if you want!
  4. You might be slightly misinterpreting the idea underlying my post.
  5. I promise you someone is getting good and paid on this horseshirt. I don’t know the details—I only know it’s happening.
  6. My spidey sense, which I acknowledge might be wrong, is that Trump and his people back in 2017 wanted out of the Iran deal because they needed Iran to be a rogue state they can reliably point to as a threat, but they also thought Iran was controllable since they were still many many years away from having a working nuke. Iran might have been closer than anyone on this side calculated.
  7. Four off the tops of ours heads, anyway.
  8. I don’t know, we are going on fifty years of personality-driven autocracy so there are a few generations steeped in it who know nothing else. Might be a tall order.
  9. I could swear on a bible that the flag was in play the whole I lived there, through 1991. I loved how close the upper deck was to home plate. I hated how cramped the seats were for daddy long legs-types like me.
  10. Remember when Nick Castellanos led the league in triples? Yeah, neither do I.
  11. If he’s not walking the world anymore …
  12. That’s why I posted that with the big smiley face. I know it would never matter.
  13. People like presidents and senator who are on the clock 24/7 for their country have no right to be sarcastic. Everything they say matters and should be taken seriously. “I was kidding” is never an excuse for public servants whose very words affect how life is lived in this country.
  14. I’m talking to Red Sox fans complaining about woe is their team.
  15. Javy Baez is going to be voted Comeback Player of the Year, and it’s going to be unanimous.
  16. I liked it too. It's a shame they're not making any more of them.
  17. I don't think fit means nothing. Even if Devers were going through the same thing with the Red Sox but on a one-year $15 million deal instead, I would bet Harris still doesn't go after him.
  18. If that's the case—if it's so transparent to literally everyone—than Boras and Bregman should have a blast toying with the Red Sox front office this offseason.
  19. I don't dislike City Connects so much as a concept as I do these particular City Connects, specifically, the pajama bottoms. Hate those. I would guess City Connect 2.0 will have white pants, as other teams have done. That said, I do get why the youngs, and the players themselves, like the City Connects. The regular uniforms are old and boring.
  20. I wonder whether trading off Devers makes it more likely they re-sign Bregman?
  21. They still needed his bat in the lineup.
  22. Devers is an extreme case, but I am under the impression there are quite a lot of veterans who would not be a fit on this version of the Tigers for similar reasons.
