their lease doesn’t end until 2028 or something crazy. that’s the real issue. also tampa has a big tv market. orlando is part of the rays orbit and so there’s a theory if you could ever get things going, people might care. but they won’t unless the yankees move there. 

Expos only lost because Loria effectively deliberately killed them off and then selling them to MLB was fait accompli. 

I mean, the Florida Panthers are already a defacto Canadian team, why not just go ahead and make it official in baseball. That said, Sternberg can’t break the lease in Tampa for another bunch of years, but this is way to honor the lease and not keep taking a bath on a team that nobody cares about even when they’re in…

I’ve been so mad that Gold Cup and other events are happening at the same time as the women’s world cup. FIFA isn’t shit and neither are the federations who could and should fund their womens teams at the same levels as mens teams. 

NIMBY, the place 

Seriously, not only does he get great seats to games, he gets rings. 

LOLOLOLOL

Surely it’s a raise to a million dollars, without having to recruit. Yeah, it’s a massive upgrade. She can always go back to college. 

I feel like that guy is too smart for his own good. LeBron going to LA was a terrible decision by all accounts. Davis torpedoing his team on the way out of the door was a very Dwight Howard decision (without all of the illegitimate kids..) and so I’m not sure how he’s advising these dudes. But not my business. 

I work from home, the whole damn thing is a snack drawer. 

Bloomington is the 7th largest city in Indiana, but it’s half students and you totally notice it in summers when they’re gone. It was even more quaint back in the day, when Whirpool and other companies had factories there. Most of those folks have been displaced to the burbs since the good jobs are mostly gone. 

Kerr at least won 5 rings as a player, and he replaced a player, albeit because he was teh golf buddy of the owner. That’s the thing about him that sucks, but I can’t imagine how insufferable Mark Jackson would be with a few rings. That said, Nick Nurse is no genius either and last night was evident of it. 

Nurse’s rotations make me want to rage. Shit makes no sense. 

Not convinced Nick Nurse was an upgrade over Casey, not only because of this one play. 

Warriors in 7. Raptors best chance to win this whole series was tonight. What a bummer. 

If only Sydney Leroux had decided to play for Canada instead...

No way even injured you would’ve give Durant a max deal though. 

so apparently this guy would’ve been 1.1 or somewhere thereabouts had he gone pro last year, but his mom wanted him to go to college and pass up the cash. The one saving grace here is Vandy has a good history of taking care of pitching prospects in recent history, so....so long as his body doesn’t give out, he should…

Seconded. It’s so bad. 

A lot of these kids parents hold them back a year so they are older playing against younger competition and put up gaudier numbers.
