Thats ultimately the main driver for Rays’ ownership: what will maximize the draw of the largest segment of our ticket sales - Boston and Yankee fans?

Honestly I’m perfectly happy not having to explain to my toy-loving 5-year—old what “Toys. For Sex.” means and why he can’t have one no matter how interesting they look.

The tweeter is wrong though: the IceHogs play all the way over in Rockford, Illinois. The Boise team is named after a trout (Idaho Steelheads)

+1 wildfire, earthquake, atmospheric river flood and/or tsunami

Not true. If I were on Pluto I’d likely be dead before the thought occurred to me

Don’t forget 12 places to buy socks and 16 enormous candy depots!

The worst part about integrated ad content is that the ad blocker can’t ork its magic on it without obliterating the actual article

He has an active discrimination lawsuit against them and they’d rather not give him the opportunity to accuse them of retaliation for that as well...

Durant is to blame for frontrunning. If he hadre-signed with OKC instead of leaving for Golden State, he would have been safely at home on the couch during this series.

Came here to say exactly this

In a way it does- if he’s mad enough about it to leave the stadium and wade out into those frigid waters to retrieve the ball, you can bet he’s going to hurl that sucker at Muncy when he gets back in. If I were Muncy, that would be enough to convince me never to piss that guy off again.

You certainly don’t have to be out there for the whole game, and the bay is a fun place to chill for a while even if there’s not a game going on. You can fish, watch the seals and sea lions and pelicans, see the boats and ships pass, breathe in the salt air, and bob gently on the water under a nice sky and cool…

I totally disagree. It isn’t a passenger ball and there is no pilot, so the stewardess (really we should be saying “flight attendant”) would have no one to serve or explain safety measures to. She also would presumably weigh the ball down a good bit, affecting its trajectory.

That seems like a HIPAA violation!

Yes, lol, another round of people mobbing up to act shitty to someone out of one-sided allegiance to a celebrity and a never-ending thirst for manufactured drama and outrage. Hooray for our society and its destructive hobbies

I hear you, but this isn’t a new phenomenon. For one reason or another, my uncle’s been ranting about how much he hates these VC guys and all the destruction they cause since he got home form his last deployment in ‘69

Maybe if he had been a brand ambassador instead of a fan or owner he’d have gotten away with it... then again it was a shove not a shoulder massage... but on some level Drake on court yelling shit at opponents and this tool yelling shit at Lowry are not THAT different

Sadly you aren’t even exaggerating...

Hopefully not, but that would not be without precedent for a sports team name/mascot

Then the strategy worked! Actually they’re sold out of the model I tried to buy and the team doesn’t even start playing till next year. “Trash Pandas” is easier to spell than “Raccoons” and calling it “Rocket City” rather than “Madison, you know, out west of Hunstville” was probably a good marketing move as well
