Mentioning Jacoby Ellsbury and Troy Tulowitzki are injured is akin to noting JFK and Napoleon are dead.

The way to think about the rule is that it’s designed to prevent a defense from taking advantage of ‘defenseless’ runners and getting more than 1 out on a play where they should only be able to get 1 out.

Pro/Rel will likely never work in anything in the U.S.... mostly because of the geographic SIZE of the U.S. , and there isn’t an ingrained history of it here.

But, back to geography... is there are Pro/Rel system in the world that isn’t based on an area about the size of Montana? To think that a U.S. national league…

Ridiculous indeed. Woody is badly miscast. So is Wanda. Ferrell will just bellow like a moron, yet again.

I don’t think you can get away with that kind of racism, homophobia and religious insensitivity on television anymore

We can’t let them in. No room. Full. We’ve got nowhere to put them. If a judge tells you to let them in, say sorry judge, I just don’t have the space. We are full to the top.

With this move, MLB appears to be joining the “Nobody can say it” camp, which is an unwise but wholly unsurprising development

Yup, that’s EXACTLY the same way I was reading this. Nobody complained, yet the owner goes on a multi-state apology tour? I have a feeling the tribal folks he met with were hella confused by the whole thing.

The whole thing struck me as very performative, especially with lines like this from the Sprudge article: “Semanchin goes on to make clear that the company isn’t seeking any labor, emotional or physical, from the Kickapoo Nation: “we know this is our problem not [theirs].” It feels like the fine folks at (not)…

Blues fan here. Fuck the red wings

10 long years? This is why everyone hates the Red Wings. You win a couple Stanley Cups in the late 90' -early 200's and all of the sudden it’s your birthright. Also, Zadina will be much more than a complimentary player. 

“10 long years.”

I bet the coffee’s weak and spineless too.

This is dumb. Cultural appropriation when applied to food is dumb. White people can make chinese food. Get over yourselves.

I know I’m a cynical bastard and all, but this reeks of the company trying to gain some free press and social currency for a decision that likely had nothing to with the tribes (other than the tribes showing up first on a google search).

Garbage and cancerous? Nah.

It is time we stop singing any patriotic songs at sports games. No other country sings their national anthem before every single (non-international) sporting event no matter how inconsequential. God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch just plain sucks.  

Who would you guard him with? To my knowledge the Pistons don’t have any Monstars on their roster.

“a bit of a motherfucker on the court”

Well, look...he plays in the NL, right? And he pitched in at least 6 innings in all 9 of his losses.
