Because I like sports and baseball in general, too. My best friends are all Cubs fans, and most of them aren’t over the moon about Ross like the general fandom seems to be. So I can’t get an answer from them.

Fair enough. I guess I’m just a numbers guy that roots for laundry. I couldn’t care less about any of that, but nothing against those that do.

That’s probably 99% due to Lester and thus runners being very aggressive, but I’ll give it to you.

Ill start with the fact that I am a Cardinals fan, but this is a honest question and I’m not trying to be a dick.

Didn’t look like that on my commute either. Going to guess that photo is some combination of more sun in that area and a filter/playing with the coloration.

The city proper is (small) majority Sox fans. The metro area is (large) majority Cubs fans.

It also... didn’t really work. The river just looks like normal water today, which is an improvement over the greenish pond water color it normally is, I guess.

Apologies for assuming, then. Made my first trip to a CFL game at BC Place this year.

Sure, the per receiver width difference is negligible, but if you say CFL offenses don’t appear to have more room to operate than those in the NFL, then all I get from that is you never watched the CFL.

But a MUCH larger field (~12 yards wider)

True story:

Practically, these are the same thing.

Wrong. Employees must now be making at least $48k and have an exempt role (see here), or make over $134k in any role to be exempt from the FLSA. Any manager making under $48k must still be paid OT.

I can’t even pick the worst one. Is it the Dolphins’ aquamarine bodytard?

On the flip side, Moon Man is underrated (or more like unknown, because everyone from Illinois just loves Spotted Cow for some reason).

Wearing headphones while driving is illegal in most states.

They used it for the intro to the first pool play game. Why they have not used it since, I do not know.

Correct, but Presidents Trophy winners still win the cup at a higher rate than the rest.

More random than the NBA, but less so than MLB. The best team in the regular season is sometimes not built for the playoffs, or has injuries/fatigue. Also theres the issue of “puck luck” which is will usually even out over the course of the series (plus good teams usually make their own luck) but sometimes it doesn’t.

As a Cardinals fan as well, he is very good manager. But he is an average-at-best in-game strategy manager. That’s why his postseason record isn’t so great: that aspect of managing is magnified in the playoffs, while the player management does not matter nearly as much. (See Exhibit A: Mike Matheny) (For the opposite,…
