We’ll see how frustrated and impatient he is before we go making any crazy offers. Patience, friend...

Gee, that’s awfully evolved thinking you’re displaying! The moment someone joins a group, you immediately make associations and thus draw conclusions based on the connections you made instantaneously based on one single choice. I wonder if there’s a name for such enlightenment...

Then I’ll expand my argument. If he isn’t demoted, this touted young prospect sits on the bench while Stanton and Judge take his ABs and playing time. Maybin is expendable and Gardner is 35. Neither can be demoted, so either or both will have to be released. Of the 3, only Frazier can be demoted - which sucks for him,…

Totally agree. Fans are an irrational lot and the rules for retiring numbers is completely subjective anyway. The Phillies claim you need to be in the HoF first, but Richie Ashburn’s #1 was retired a good 20 years before he went to Cooperstown. People here blew a gasket when Pete Mackanin wore Tug McGraw’s #45,…

Then he’ll be (forcibly) retired to be Junior VP of Executive Business Synergy Strategy. It’s time to move on. And if they shadow-retire his number, there should be an investigation. His closest statistical comparator for his career is Brian McRae. Even Hal McRae wouldn’t shadow-retire his son’s number. I get the…

The Church can stand in judgment as self-imposed moral arbiter and shun people for divorce, but are remarkably mute about their own systemic coverup involving child sexual abuse for decades. And they wonder why attendance is falling off everywhere... Why would I give my time and money to an organization that looks…

Frazier isn’t going to be released. They think enough of him to keep on the 40-man roster, and he has options that Maybin and Gardner don’t. When those 2 aren’t needed, they’ll be DFAed and out of work.

Also, it just dredges up this “controversy” all over again. I am all for clapping back if you feel so moved. But just let it go and nobody keeps talking about it. Instead, now we are talking about the reaction to the reaction to the original act. They’re not going to play any other squad as bad as Thailand, so the…

John Tavares hasn’t won a championship in his league and will never make the money Kawhi will make, be it in Toronto, LA or anywhere else. Kawhi also wouldn’t face nearly the same level of expectation in Toronto (just won a title), the Lakers (the 3rd star with LBJ and The Brow) or the Clippers (never won squat, and…

Don’t have to cut it in Philadelphia, Clint... just sayin’...

Plus, they still have to make room for Stanton and Judge. Better to be demoted than released, which is what Maybin and possibly Gardner are looking at.

“Hey, America, this is OJ Simpson. Click on my bio to learn that one weird trick that can get you off on a double homicide charge.”

Technically, it’s an LA thing. The Angels were playing the Mariners but the game was shot in Dodger Stadium. Also, SPOILER ALERT: the real “LA thing” was him murdering his ex-wife. Allegedly.

Why? He can’t have his own personal beliefs yet still see the Church as an organized place for his spiritual needs? Do you really think every Catholic (practicing, or lapsed) is against birth control or homosexuality? I hope this doesn’t come as a shock to you, but many individuals do not march in lockstep with a…

I agree, but 30 minutes, 5 days a week isn’t going to do much. The audience you want to see this is on Hour 10 of Fox News by this point before stumbling out to the closest casual dining chain restaurant for some deep-fried dinner snacks.

What kind of points do I qualify for, and where can I redeem them? I was raised Catholic and married the first time in the Church to another Catholic. The marriage failed and we divorced. I ultimately started over, and married a second time, to a fellow Catholic who had been divorced. This background serves to…

... wrong post, my bad.

Shane Co isn’t nationwide for sure. They have 4 stores east of the Mississippi - Louisville, Atlanta, Nashville and Indianapolis. They have zero stores in Texas, New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Great Lakes and the Upper Midwest. No presence in 4 of the 6 largest cities in the country as well as our nation’s…

Good question at the end.
