  1. certainly seemed like they were grasping at straws with their proposed stadium announcement last year: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/22920463/oakland-athletics-want-pay-oakland-alameda-county-coliseum-debt-take-stadium-ownership
  2. silly but pretty cool http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2766705-aaron-judge-giancarlo-stanton-more-players-printed-on-beer-at-yankee-stadium
  3. bets on gubi and rojas' catch phrase for a ball in the net? my money is on "slam dunk" or "it's a wrap!".
  4. 405 during rush hour. rather be doing anything other than "driving" at that time.
  5. can't believe anyone who has had to deal with a commute through LA is opposed to driverless cars. i used to drive from long beach to hollywood every day up the 110 to the 101 and i guarantee you that commute would've been half as long if you didn't let all the morons anywhere near the gas pedal. the problem in LA isn't really the number of cars on the road, it's the speed that people drive in heavy traffic, causing frequent hard braking and a cascading gridlock effect backwards. driverless cars (presumably) won't have a incessant road rage and feel the need to try to "win" traffic, just a nice steady 30-40 mph through the downtown interchange with sensible merging and few lane changes.
  6. it has taken aim directly at santa barbara/ventura counties, wouldn't want to be anywhere near the recent burn scar..
  7. hmm, the ipa was developed so hoppy to better survive the long boat trip to india? though i'd imagine the original ipa's tasted nothing like a sculpin' or stone.
  8. "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."
  9. always wondered why the hedges in center field are so sad. they've looked near death for several years now. i guess nothing says "OC" like crappy trimmed hedges and fake rock water features.
  10. i wouldn't be surprised if rich eisen made this up to get more "engagement" on twitter, that's the world we live in now.
  11. This doesn't make a lot of sense since almost every team has more left handed bats than us. Is the "change in philosophy" to give our opponent an advantage?
  12. WTF? I get that the building owner could've handled it a little better, but is there any precedent for this? https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/13/us/5pointz-graffiti-artists-award-trnd/index.html
  13. These are also official portraits in the national portrait gallery.
  14. Absolutely, think these two need to face reality and a bunch of people bailing them out rather than helping those with real problems is embarrassing. I do have to say though, if they only have $90 and no debt then they are doing a lot better than most millenials.
  15. I don't understand the optimism around Pujols having a "bounce-back" year. His biggest weakness is he's slow as shit and can barely run and nothing can change that. I don't think it is temporary injuries, he's getting old and has had a bunch of leg & foot problems and that's a consequence. Maybe he'll hit 30 home runs but he's still gonna be otherwise limited to singles to the wall, gdips, and getting thrown out at first from shallow left field.
  16. "Poo Holes and the Double Play" sounds like a VHS from Jeff's porno stash in Curb Your Enthusiasm
  17. Upton must be relieved he decided not to test the free agent market
  18. sorry you seem like a reasonable person don't mean to attack you in particular. this is just act 47 in the dog & pony show that is post-Trump politics.
  19. you don't see the irony in people accepting on face value this highly political memo by a partisan stooge about a judge accepting on face value a highly political FISA warrant request by a partisan stooge?
  20. hilarious that anyone thinks this FISA judge was "duped" by the dossier, because that would mean he is the stupidest judge on the planet. literally that's his job, to judge the evidence on merit for "probable cause." absolutely no way a political dossier created by a foreigner for payment was the only evidence used here, it had to be corroborated by something else.
  21. where does it say this statement is endorsed by MLBPA? Looks like a desperate agent stirring the pot...
