I don’t like baseball, so I really hope Rob Manfred doesn’t either.

Also, the owners also do not appear to like baseball.

The cross-sport stars always seem to go football’s way despite the much higher injury risks, less guarantees, and less overall money. So it appears the players don’t like baseball.

Most of the fans…

It’s stupid because they don’t have the helmet problem (to some owners, a bonus) that the NFL does.

Most famous MLB players of recent memory:

Jose Canseco (sex with Madonna)
Alex Rodriguez (doping and death threats)
..

Christ, don’t people know about bitcoin?

128 GB SSD storage upgrade for 200 goddamn dollars? We are approaching 10 cents a gigabyte in the open market, and apple is almost charging 20x that?

I don’t understand why the league doesn’t run a mini-season summer league schedule with four divisions of 7-8 teams, and a mini-tournament at the end.

I’m out of the loop. Are 1001 and 1002 both for Subway Jared the Child Molester?

BMW doesn’t have the battery tech to beat anyone. Tesla is sitting on 620 mile range battery technology.. RIGHT NOW.

All the mainstream makers betting the bank on EVs are praying for a solid lithium “leapfrog” battery to save them from Tesla’s current dominance.

But this firing means all the big investors know it is sink or swim on EVs now. Tesla and those mainstream makers that figure out EVs will eat the lunch of the others.

Governments are looking at Tesla designs and basically will legislate to force the mass adoption of EVs and PHEVs with large all-EV ranges. It is the…

The “hanging on for retirement and not making waves” is a massive impediment to change in any large company. 

Two of my friends were about as diehard customers of BMW for 20 years. One even has a diesel BMW station wagon.

But one now has a Model 3, the other is waiting for the Porsche Taycan before deciding which EV to get.

I repeat: these guys have probably owned 10-12 different BMWs between them. German last names and…

When they first dropped the CEO stepping down story, Jalopnik basically said “Tesla was dominating the EV segment”. Bwahahaha, uh, Tesla is dominating the main segments of luxury cars, not “just” the EV niche.

Hey, where are all the Tesla hate stories? It’s become so quiet in here.

I knew that practically all the…

Flutie was always a “did great for three games then defenses figured him out”, although that was probably because they could be far more brutal with sacks and after the throw hits and that damage would accumulate.

I agree he would have been a terror in the modern QB-carebear league, but alas he wasn’t born then.

Worse contract?

- Andrew Wiggins
- Chris Paul
- Westbrook
- John Wall

Paul, Wall, Wiggins, Westbrook I’d guess...

IF they can achieve better than 2x safety than a normal driver (i.e. non-smartphone non-druggie/alcohol drivers) for highway automation, hell yes I want that.

If my car would self-drive on a highway, any place that was within 8 hours I’d rather do a drive than fly. Probably would pay for itself in plane tickets and…

The Netherlands could have been down 4-0 at halftime if some saves, crossbars, and the like didn’t bounce their way. They did effectively keep the US from scoring in the first 12 minutes though, and the US blew another 4 goals in the second half too. 

So this record isn’t asterisked by ICEs being hamstrung by thinner atmosphere/less oxygen at higher altitudes like Pikes Peak, this is a flat out (sorry) victory for EVs?

You don’t remember Dodge’s entire lineup of “I’m an asshole” grill designs?

That shit works with only one segment of buyers, and it is a plan where you eat your long term image for short term sales.

Kawhi would have just gone with the Lakers if his apparent plan A with the Clippers failed. 

Lebron has a billion dollar contract with Nike, doesn’t he?
