This is the most D.C. outcome possible. Well besides a sweep. Also, if history lately has taught us anything is that you should never expect nice things.

Why not both?

Agreed.

I think the days of hoping for a Continental League - 3rd major league - are gone, mostly because I don’t think enough people care about baseball enough to sustain it.

If baseball was willing to change the game the way other sports did, it’d be fine and able to adapt better. Baseball unlike the other 3 major sports hasn’t changed its rules besides the DH and lowering the mound. Baseball could never do something dramatic like the 3-pointer. Game times could be easily shortened if…

good = white

That coward Bud Selig could’ve named ONE miserable franchise after a Negro league team (no the Royals don’t count) but instead he brought back the Nats for the 3rd fucking time which NO ONE asked for. 

I thought this too at first and had to re-read it.

Didn’t Obama rip up the old tennis court to put a basketball court in? 

I really like the show. It’s still cast as white as a Wes Anderson film (minus Jess the assistant), unnecessarily in my view, but...it’s great TV.

The beer company SPONSORS the celebration now. I’m pro-celebrating after each round, but that makes me want to ban it entirely. 

I used to joke the same thing about those seats. They really are far, but I’ve sat out there once or twice and it’s still a fun experience by and large. Though I’d always prefer to be closer to the action. 

This is how I feel about balls and strikes and using replay for that. 

Because people hate the idea exploited people might have agency.

God i hate baseball so much. These fucking people have made the game so terrible with all their complaining. It was terrible before, but easier to ignore them. 

They usually have to pay for it, but no one would begrudge a cup of coffee guy for keeping his uniform. 

He just got really bad advice. Would’ve made so much more money overseas it sounds like. 

He’s in Australia doing NBL games and stuff. Has carved out a good niche for him down there which is cool.

That said, this is like what OKC did with Josh Huestis, the guy was a reach where they picked him and while he could’ve cashed in, they’re not going to stiff him when it comes time to pay. Except with Huestis was agreed to beforehand in exchange for reaching to get him. This situation seems uglier because the kid is…

A team owned by a bunch of Amway grifters convinces someone to act against their interest and his agent still collects his fee. Seems right.
