  1. None of that stopped MLB from sticking the Braves in the NL West when divisions were first introduced. It made zero sense to put a team in a state with an Atlantic coast in the same division with three California teams.
  2. At work we used to collect money from multiple people and buy Mega Lotto and Powerball tickets. We won $200 once, but that was the most significant win. If we won less than $100, our agreement was to just put it back into the next round.
  3. I would drop $20 at those odds. The 18K:1 is at FanDuel. I can get 15K:1 at established sports books.
  4. I seem to remember a special years ago during which he visited Fairfax High School, which I assume is his alma mater.
  5. I wonder if it has presidential ambitions. It would beat our current choices. Damn. Just read Blarg's link saying that it has died.
  6. This was taken in my neighborhood Target about three days ago. Job one of whoever is in charge of produce should be, be able to identify what you are selling. Apparently this person has never seen an avocado.
  7. I have watched his YouTube videos. He has a lot of interesting takes.
  8. I'm far happier with this than them spending big on questionable free agents just to give the illusion of contending.
  9. The idea has been floated of Fisher selling the A's to local ownership and building the Howard Terminal ballpark and putting an expansion team in Las Vegas.
  10. If they believed that all that they needed was a field goal and the game was over, there wouldn't be the same sense of urgency once they got inside the 20. That said, I didn't see SF players celebrating like they had won the game once the field goal went through.
  11. They originally chose a site west of the Strip off Tropicana where the Wild Wild West casino once sat. That would be far better than a Strip location, which Fisher seems to be obsessed with.
  12. To be honest, I had rather have an expansion team than the A's. Team ownership has been like the Keystone Kops in the way that they have handled this. Even the location that they are insisting on would worsen Strip traffic, and it is too small for the stadium design that has been proposed. I'm pretty certain that they are going to blow this. Even our mayor has said that they need to talk to Oakland.
  13. I see it as being on the commissioner. He knew for a while that their TV deal was ending, and all that he could come up with was a streaming deal with Apple TV. At that point, it was over.
  14. I'll see what I can do. Maybe my nephew can scare some up.
  15. The people who voted "very confident" in the team's direction need to be drug tested.
  16. I have a sizable bag of them, bought from the bulk foods section at WinCo.
  17. For the uninitiated, Publix is a grocery chain located mainly in Florida. My nephew works for them. They may or may not sell this:
  18. The Guardians have good young pitching and a desperate need for outfielders.
  19. Possibly the best Super Bowl ever. As an added bonus, I don't have to listen to obnoxious Niner fan family members brag for the next year.
  20. A college friend went to high school with him in Mount Holly, NJ.
