  1. I get that way when JR makes a threat. My thought is then move you asshole. But someone pointed out that as an out of town fan that's really unfair. Which I think is fair. I do miss my ignorant fan days when I'd just go to game after game not knowing how horrible the franchise really was.
  2. Because the past is just a goodbye
  3. I'm cheering for records. I was an active fan for the best team of my generation and damnit, I'm going to be an active fan for the worst team. Psychological it's awesome when you are pulling, cheering, praying, hoping, wishing, for your team to do something and they do!!!! Does it really matter if it's a win or loss? I think we should have a Statue of Liberty night. With silent lips. "Give me your injured, your losers, Your washed up masses yearning for a check, The wretched refuse of other teams. Send these, the felons, tempest-tost to me, I lift my scorecard beside the locker door!"
  4. It's kind of ironic that we're mentioning another Sox pitcher, Tommy John, in this conversation. Tommy was a good and decent family man. A borderline HoF pitcher and someone any Sox fan would want to introduce their kids to.
  5. I have had many conversations with the high school coach here as I tried to understand all of the rules designed to speed up play (pitch runner for the catcher) and protect players (pitch counts,) etc. I was lost within a couple seconds. He is a former pro pitcher and a student of the game. What he said made sense to me. Like all muscles, those used to throw need to be stressed, then recovered, to grow. That number is different for each player. So the number seems to not stress too much many on his staff. They could throw more. But a few kids are maxed with the max.
  6. Texsox replied to knightni's topic in SLaM
    That's going to be a PR nightmare but it seems like the right thing to do.
  7. He was always in the bottom 20% but never last from all of the reports I read. He was consistently bad and never got better. It seems like he just had a longer career the folks each year ranked lower improved or moved on.
  8. What a memory. I loved this line Meanwhile, St. Louis Cardinals players and coaches were sympathetic to the Marlins' situation, agreeing to take some extra batting practice. However, manager Tony LaRussa said that because the team's plane was scheduled to leave at 7, they could only wait for Steve for another hour, tops.
  9. When I first had Bulls tickets they did a meet and greet and kissed my sss. Then they hosted an all star game, drafted a guard, built a new stadium, and screwed me over.
  10. Especially if you're not a AAA or MLB level player.
  11. Parents confirmed he took his own life. We never know what difficulties the people in our lives are dealing with. Famous of not, life can be tough. Call 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It provides free and confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week for people in suicidal crisis or distress.

You can also call that number to talk to someone about how you can help a person in crisis. For crisis support in Spanish, call 1-888-628-9454.
  12. Bought a ticket. I'm certain JR wouldn't mind 20,000 fans paid each night with signs to sell the team.
  13. How about a roulette wheel in the clubhouse? Put their numbers in a bingo game?
  14. We're not rushing him.
  15. For the sake of the discussion let's say you are the unluckiest player this year. Earlier you were the luckiest player in the league with the contract you signed. I believe statistically you've regressed to the mean. But maybe, some crazy GM will read that, think your luck is about the change, and we can part as friends.
  16. That was just a team friendly finance deal. Wouldn't you rather pay Iloy $500k a year for the next 26 years over $13 mil this year?
  17. They finally aren't rushing someone to the majors. He needs time in MiLB to be really ready.
  18. The Flying Chanclas. Great promotion.
  19. That is Promo night ?
  20. Looking at this lineup I realize I don't need a second MLB team to cheer. I'm going all in on the San Antonio Missions. Their AA lineup can't be much worse.
  21. a tall vertical structure of stone, wood, or metal, used as a support for a building, or as an ornament or monument. Definition checks out.
  22. I wish we could play this season on fast forward.
  23. https://www.news4sanantonio.com/news/local/kansas-city-chiefs-tour-bus-arrives-at-san-antonio-transmission-shop-local-news-near-me-football-nfl-teams-moving-rumors Chiefs tour bus breaks down in San Antonio.
  24. Once again my hometown is a pawn used by a NFL owner to blackmail a city into a new stadium. If my memory is correct here are the other times SA was used Saints after Hurricane Katrina Raiders before Vegas Vikings when SA businessman owned the team. Cardinals before Phoenix We do have a 60,000+ seat arena ready to go. Voters would pass a publicly funded football stadium. They would sell out a lot. The Spurs are well backed.
  25. Tony was years ahead of everybody with load monitoring and having guys not go all out.
