  1. I don't know how anyone who supports Trump can accuse others of trying to incite violence.
  2. Both coaches were fired after the Mississippi State - Texas A&M game. That may be a first.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Seems like an odd time to be playing eastern clubs.
  7. 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.
  8. Weather: Check. Really kept the scoring down in the second half. The first half was fun to watch. Over: You had that by halftime.
  9. There are Mets fans on social media who are pissed because they whiffed on Counsell and Washington, and settled for a Yankees bench coach who has never managed. It does seem like an odd pivot from Buck Showalter.
  10. I can't imagine that Showalter would accept an assistant GM position, especially in a situation as unstable as this one. The GM and the owner may not be in the picture within a year or two.
  11. May still be contacting candidates, or awaiting someone's answer.
  12. If nothing else, the club is not tied into a long term contract if it doesn't work out.
  13. The Braves thought enough of him to bring him into the organization. That isn't a club who just brings in anybody. If there were valid issues, he wouldn't have been on the staff.
  14. Better than saying that it sucks before he manages a single game.
  15. Victor Rojas sold me on Ron Washington. Now we will see how this translates to the field.
  16. No, this isn't photoshopped. You can buy it from Amazon right now. Perfect gift for the person who has everything.
