  1. Yankees need a new catcher. Hitting .128 doesn't cut after last year flop. (I always thought they were smoother when Romine was catching. Sanchez has improved on defense from horrible to below average. So, with that and power with no average. He can be a career backup in the mold of Mark Parent and Ramon Castro.
  2. Well, I guess I am pulling for denver of the eastern conference.
  3. I have to say relying on voter ignorance is the American way.
  4. Look like instead of canned fans, this would be perfect to show what is actually said on field by players and coaches (with tape delay obviously)
  5. I think 4 smalls are ok in the lineup, 5 smalls not so much. Someone has to rebound, play interior defense. Dantonio needs to go, too defensively indifferent to really do the requirements that lineup would need. Note: actually 5 smalls could work for 6 to 8 minutes at a time, at that moment the opposing bigs start getting tired to run them into the ground. So say 6 minutes each half. Edit: especially late 3rd and early 4th period.
  6. Well, as long as he doesn't lose his te that will remain a secret😏
  7. Well people do say Hollywood people belong in a certain hot place.😉
  8. But cats are better behaved and easier to housebreak
  9. Un fortunately given that song was played 500 times a day back then, I can only cringe.
  10. Since I rarely watch live anyway, I dont think it would matter.
  11. Pretty sure, entering into the world of politics damns one to hell.
  12. I saw a commercial for a neck mounted face shield, looks less comfortable than a dog neck cone.
  13. Well, I did get my numbering from an article a few years ago. Basically around 10 percent of games went extra, and every subsequent inning had approximately 48 percent of ending it. So 16 extra innings, 8 past 10, 4 past 11, 2 past 12. Japan is known to call games after 12 inngs a tie. So, it seems hardly worth a drastic change in design for 2 or 3 games a year. The game has called games tied in the past anyway (rain, darkness in the old days)
  14. I wouldn't say you are wrong with the ones I know either. I dont want to speculate how much their defense of America or their ideal image of America might factor in. So, until then, it is a benefit of the doubt thing.
  15. Well, given their reproductive rates, I assume they get around.
  16. And for the gimmicks, the only one I like is the NL DH. Hate the 3 batter minimum (even though my Royals got a rare win more or less by pinch hit HR on the 3rd batter of a hitter, doesn't seem fair to pinch hit with abandon and limit pitching changes, although modern roster construction netters the former. And for the the extra inning runner, pretty sure that in Futurama that was when the sport became blernball. The Japan rule of 12 inning ties would be the better route for the reasons given. On average games getting to the 13th only happen 2 or 3 times per season per team on average, 1+ for a 2020 season. Plus, saw it in the last wbc turned 2 exciting into anti climatic mess.
  17. Gotta feel a little for vets, with those remarks and the fact many of the ones I know have the feelings* that the average Dem politician actively hates them for serving. They dont have much choice in their minds. *their view, a lot of them are still sore at the Dems for words and actions from circa 2003 to 2010 or so.
  18. No, I think tibbles are suppose to spread syphilis
  19. Yeah well 20 runs is always bad. Incidentally, I have only got watch 1 game on tv that had a 20 run score, and the Rockies gave it up (late 90s vs Braves, it was 10 to 5, and the Rockies bullpen to cough up 10 runs in the 9th.
  20. Well, it can be argued he was a fiscal conservative partly due to Gop Congress, which suggest my theory on gridlock been best to keep one party or the other from screwing us over. Regardless Bush and Obama thought they were Richard Pryor in the movie Brewsters Millions. Course, for modern fiscal conservatives even they are drunken sailors letting themselves get fleeced by the local port prostitute. What made you think politicians were ever legally accountable.
  21. Rockies fans gotta Rockie fan? I am a Royals fan, I will await 2045 when we are relevant for our one every 30 years championship
  22. Supposedly, Tom Seaver died. Considering, in my childhood, he was THE pitcher, I feel a little old now.
  23. Hey, well I was thinking in particular when the Mets signed Bonilla. That gave them Bonilla a poor RF. Vince Coleman who had the speed but nowhere near the judgement for center. And Howard Johnson a converted 3B. They eventually decided on Johnson there, who would make the highlights routinely that year, on diving stabs..... on routine balls where he misjudged twice in the air, and the dive was pure desperation. To a lesser extent the Tigers when they got Prince Fielder. Forcing Cabrera back to 3rd 4 years removed from being a very bad fielder there, while also having Ryan Raburn an outfielder make believing at being a 2B. Note: How can I forget the Padres one winter getting Kemp, Justin Upton, and Will Myers, when only Kemp had played Cf, and that was before his body was totally wrecked.
  24. Ironically, there has been alternate interpretations that the actual number is 616. Cant see Hillary as Mary Magdalene, nor Barbara Bush really. Though, while I have some issues with the Bushes, I did find their wives likable.
