New MLB Commish suggests ban on shifts
QUOTE (South Sider @ Jan 25, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) This idea is going to be very unpopular, but i actually appreciate that its been brought up. Im going to play devils advocate here, but ive actually thought of this myself... Extreme defensive shifts to me seem ridiculous. To me, the whole idea of a 3rd basemen is that hes covering the area around 3rd base. To see a 3rd basemen literally playing 2nd base, and a short stop playing.... 1st and 1/2 base and your 2nd basemen playing right field... when theres already someoene playing right field just seems ridiculous to me. I appreciate the strategic aspect of shifts and since theyre legal i expect them to be deployed... but let me just say i dont hate this idea as much as everyone else will. You fill out your lineup card for the umpires to inform them that such and such player is playing 3rd base. To me, having that player literally play 2nd base seems like it should be illegal and warrant a lineup switch. I mean, if a manager really wanted to, he could place any player in any part of the field. Need your right fielder around 3rd base? Ok go for it. Need your 1st basemen to cover 3rd for some reason? Ok. Not that those things would ever happen... but the point is that they can legally move players into other fielding positions without having to change your lineup. That just doesnt seem right. Excited to read some responses. If a player like Ortiz or Dunn hits a ball regularly to a very defined part of the infield and outfield, why shouldn't the team be allowed to defend that? I just don't get it. Sometimes those extreme shifts get burned by good hitters that go the other way or even weak ground balls that go where the 3b used to be, and turn into doubles. Forcing teams to play defense a certain way is pretty crappy if you ask me

A good thing about this is that this is a real, money reaction to a show that really crashed hard after an excellent triple threat match. In the past WWE could just laugh and say "well, they will buy the next PPV because they want to see what happens next. ". But it doesn't work that way anymore. Fans are outraged, and if they really cancelled a large portion of subscriptions, that kind of s*** shakes things up almost as much as a wcw type competitor in a Monday night wars. If anything, the writers will have to step up their game in the next two months and try and patch this thing together until Mania

Still holds up well. I have his old free standing red Weber. It was bought in 1978, and has no rust on it.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) Similar to how I do it -- 275 for 3 hours, finish on the grill (warmer months) or broiler (colder months). Every time I have gone over 210 degrees I have been unhappy with how dry the ribs get, maybe i am doing something wrong. I dont mind the slow cook though. the house smells awesome

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) Unless you are smoking these you have failed. I slow cook them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 4-5 hours. and baste them every couple hours with a apple cider vinegar/oil/chili powder mix. Then I finish them on the grill with sauce(usually sweet baby rays). If i had a smoker i would use it, but i dont. I want a big green egg really bad though

for real though, he has said multiple times on the Score that he has no interest in coaching, and that he actually doesnt really like watching football. I dont think coaching is in his future, but who knows, maybe sometime down the line he is interested.
