Baseball owners have a lot more side action going on than owners in other sports. The BAMtech deal, for example, made each club a huge chunk of cash they didn’t have to share with players. Many clubs have their annual operations essentially paid for before they play a game.

Is the answer Jesus?

Are you saying there’s been a governor of Alabama who didn’t wear blackface at some point (possibly during the campaign)?

Maybe they figure it’ll all just blow over soon enough.

Let’s Remember Some Guys - Commenter Edition

It why the fundies love him. Since Jesus is never wrong, and he’s just a projection, they themselves are never wrong if they just claim “Jesus!”.

Guys weren’t packing as much extra muscle as they do now.  That’s why you hardly see any thigh or hip pads any more.  Also, technology has made the padding much smaller.  Those huge pads were hot & tough to move in.

You know how every old-time wrestler or wrestling manager can do a great Dusty Rhodes impression? I get the feeling everyone at NFL Network can do a Mike Mayock impression. You wonder if he even knows that he’s an open joke.

Gordie Howe ain’t got nothing on that hat trick.

Yeah but I have a hard time believing anyone could be as obnoxious as Pats fans.

Yeah. That name caught me as well. Very useful player, but never more useful than this week.

These items all seem to have either inventory or prep time related reasons for their removal. Fewer varieties of taco shells to keep around, fewer items that take a long time and/or are complicated to make.

Thanks Ollie.

Settlement & support checks never go away.

The point is that he shouldn’t have been at the plate in the first place. Didn’t think it was so hard to get that from “no business playing above AA ball”, but maybe you skipped that part of a two sentence post. 

This. Broxton is one of at least a dozen players currently getting AB’s in the majors that have no business playing above AA ball. The tank jobs being done by teams like the Mariners, Orioles and Tigers is making this feel like an expansion year.

Damn you and your evidence!

Other way around. Corey wore “Kyle’s Brother”, probably because he is the younger of the two. Kyle passed on the opportunity to reciprocate, probably because the only thing interesting about Kyle Seager is how he gets shorter & shittier each season.  He went with just “Seager” again this year.
