Here’s MLB’s troubles in a nutshell:

This is legendary penny pinching. He paid $200 mil 14 years ago, a investment which has to have grown greatly since then. Got a team to the world series, but has never once put money in or done anything to create the needed experience to get fans in the doors of that dump.

I don’t disagree, but sometimes it’s nice to glance at the sidelines and instantly know who is in charge.

All time top 5 Ducks:

I agree with all of that but want to offer the minor correction that they definitely do drug test LOADS of white collar jobs, and it definitely sucks in those jobs just as much. If you want to have a joint off work hours, legal or not, that ought to be your own business.

Davey was my best and only friend from k-6th grade and really gave credence to the final words in the movie Stand By Me, “I never had any friends later on like I had when I was 12.” Rather, I am 43 now and I still have never found a friend quite like him later in life.

I’ve been a more-than-casual roadie for 20+ years, since (the first time) I blew my ACL.

I grew up in Austin and it’s staggering sometimes how similar the two cities are, between the beer scene, the music scene, the young hipsters flocking to the city, the complete lack of public transportation, the constant construction of hideous condo buildings nobody can afford, and what I’m sure is the city council’s…

East coast weed WAS horrible back in the day! When I was in college (80s, early 90s), it was all that brown brick dirt (usually Mexican), and anything that was loose & green was highly prized (usually Jamaican). We heard tell of west-coast greenery, but alas, never got to sample it.
