  1. You know how it is. Give up 1,658 runs one night, get a shutout the next. That's baseball.
  2. That is far too much money to pay one player, especially one pushing 30. There are also warning signs, in the form of two arm injuries that may turn him into a full time DH within the next 3-4 years. As much as I have enjoyed watching Ohtani play and I have marveled at his production, I'm ready to move on. The club made adjustments for him that adversely affected other players. Let somebody else overpay and wreck their payroll for years to come.
  3. If it's going to take "north of $500M", which is what the Cubs' offer is rumored to be, hard pass.
  4. Fax Sports? How clever. Even putting @MLBonFAX like they broadcast anything.
  5. Shame on the moon. The Detroit Lions and the curse of the Thanksgiving waxing gibbous.
  6. If not for the zeroes, you could put one chip on red and another on black and just sit there all night. It also makes the possibility of any single number or range of numbers hitting less likely.
  7. There have been a lot of stories on the news displaying the height of the flames if the turkey is the least bit frozen. Happy Thanksgiving, all.
  8. I didn't follow this at all. Maybe because there is nothing of substance to follow.
  9. Saw him play at AA Jacksonville in the 1970s. We had KC's AA farm club at the time. Frank White was his double play partner.
  10. Supposedly the Giants have only made their park theoretically available for about half of the home games. One sports writer suggested Mexico City.
  11. I don't know how anyone who supports Trump can accuse others of trying to incite violence.
  12. Both coaches were fired after the Mississippi State - Texas A&M game. That may be a first.
  13. Bring lots of money if you are. Ticket prices are astronomical, and some of the hotels are requiring a minimum four night stay at adjusted event prices.
  14. Not at all. But I also knew that they were taking steps to turn it around, and they have had a good farm system for a while. It took time for some of those players to reach the majors and have an impact. One thing that I haven't heard about them is going cheap on scouting, not providing basic equipment and so forth.
  15. I would be far more encouraged by this argument if this weren't an organization with a history of throwing big money at declining stars, ignoring the farm system and doing everything on the cheap. The chief difference is that the Rangers are well run, something that no one would accuse the Angels of. They also have an excellent farm system, which has yielded important pieces of the team.
  16. Seems like an odd time to be playing eastern clubs.
  17. Texas A&M fired Jimbo Fisher this morning, paying a record buyout for him to go away. Firing him after a 51-10 victory seems odd, but it is Texas.
  18. Weather: Check. Really kept the scoring down in the second half. The first half was fun to watch. Over: You had that by halftime.
