  1. Maybe you don't see it, but a whole lot of people see that you seem to only pop up on one side of the details, and then revert back to "I don't care who wins". Your statements always seem to be against players (they will fold first, they can't afford hold out, they make tons of money, players aren't self-made, etc) and never against owners. I see the same thing as Kyle does, and many other seem to do the same. Maybe if that is what you truly intend, you should revisit how you make your statements, but they say otherwise.
  2. I think they had to be trying to emulate our run to Baghdad so as to win a decisive victory, and stop there from being resistance and guerilla warfare, and it seems like the opposite has happened. I can't imagine they half assed this knowing what the downside of not knocking out resistance immediately would be. They knew that world opinion and sentiment would be against them, so speed was the most important part.
  3. That sounds less than amicable. I wonder what happened.
  4. See here is the thing. he had to have game planned for this. He had to have known that at the very least all of the financial blowback was going to happen, even if he didn't quite realize what the Ukrainian resistance would look like. Unless he is surrounded by the Russian equivalent of Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, most of these things were really obvious to anyone with some field knowledge.
  5. I don't know about you, but I tune into games to find out the trial, tribulations, and triumphs of the wonderful owners because we are so lucky to have them in Chicago. I mean who isn't inspired by the Wirtz inheritance story, or the McCaskey inheritance story. or the RIcketts getting the Cubs bought for them by dear old dad, or Michael and David Reinsdorf who could inherit both the Bulls and Sox any day now. It inspires me in my daily life.
  6. Literally every single player is a self made man who made it to the majors based on their skill and ability. There is no inheriting a major league baseball career.
  7. It's almost been turned into a meme in this thread, but there is absolutely nothing about supporting players getting the historical share of revenues they have gotten in the past which disqualifies someone from feeling that other people to deserve fair wages. It's just some uneeded whataboutism.
  8. Sure, if you ignore the subpoverty minor league years.
  9. "MLB networks". So the question is, is this MLB owners using their propaganda tool to try to get a deal done, or are they using it to try to make the players look bad again? Guess we find out.
  10. The Padres were offering a big time prospect for a team to take on Hosmer. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/al-notes-rangers-hosmer-royals-wells.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
