Milkman delivers

Especially in a sport whose overall viewership and youth interest seems to be declining. And double especially for a team whose viewership and interest is definitely declining.

Oh, I thought it was just funny and not another grievance I couldn’t care less about.

The Braves’ fest is just called “Team Fest”? That’s hilarious. And no surprise that Oakland’s fest sounds like a high school event. “A’s Spirit Week”. They probably spend the same amount as a decent high school does on their own spirit week.

I found an error in the article, perhaps a simple oversight. But the word “Bochy” only appears once on the entire page.

Off topic, but they don’t even count murders on the expressways as counting in Chicago. If they did, Chicago’s annual numbers would be significantly higher. They should absolutely count towards Chicago’s numbers, as they are all Chicago conflicts, but they are not due to ISP having jurisdiction to investigate them.

I guess it’s more bad strategy than bad development (ideally, at least). Thanks for the breakdown. Didn't realize we could’ve had Culpepper.

Well, I’m going to believe it until the Bears draft a QB that is at the top of the league. There’s 88 years of precedent. I doubt the Bears simply drafted the wrong guy every time.

The thing with the Bears is that they will likely screw up whoever they draft at QB. So you need the guy to be absolutely perfect to have any faith that he can overcome the Bears’ coaching/development. It’s not exactly logical, but it’s the mindset of a fan of this team (or a Chicago team in general). If you expect a kick in the balls, and you get a slap in the face, it’s a win.

You may be right. Williams’ star is falling pretty hard right now. There are even articles suggesting he should sit out the rest of the year.

Won’t somebody please think of the millionaire professional game players?

Not sure what the big deal is. Both the Rangers and Phillies have a top 4 record in their leagues. That gets them into the playoffs every year for almost the last 30 years. I think the wild card era was the best playoff format for baseball. Do people really want to go back to the two division format where each team is automatically in the LCS? I sure don’t.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I’m guessing bad, but “booty” has good connotations, at least for me haha.

Altuve has to be the most hated by far.

Huh?

Like I said before, Houston would’ve drawn the hate watchers. Philadelphia would draw the young crowd. Harper is the perfect amount of douche for the 20 something fans. Arizona and Texas will be pretty terrible in the ratings. I don’t think anybody nationally cares about either team. I’m not even sure how they draw locally.

It was.

The Cheating Cheaters of Cheaterton are officially eliminated. Fantastic. And if Arizona wins tomorrow, MLB cannot be very happy ?

It’s all well and good if you choose to move away. But if they move away from you, it’s different. I’m sure we all have that friend who moves an hour or more away and then complains that none of their friends ever comes to visit, as if it’s on everyone else to make the effort to see you instead of you coming back to see everyone else.

Damn it, the Astros are definitely taking this series.

Screw Chicago. I have no love or allegiance to this city. I would absolutely stop watching baseball games if the Sox weren’t convenient for me to watch. I already stopped for several years and they didn’t even move.

Perhaps my first impression was correct.

No argument that it’s embarrassing. I consider them to be an embarrassment of a franchise entirely.

That would be nice. But looking back as the Twins, that has to hurt.

As bad as the Central is and has been, the Sox and Royals have won a World Series in recent memory (KC getting to the WS twice). The Tigers (twice) and Guardians have been to the WS. And you have the Twins getting to the playoffs ten times since 2002. They advanced past the first round just twice. Has to suck to be a fan of that team.

In my mind, absolutely. But this would make it unarguable.
