Vegas Halo Fan

It has been a brutal year on the injury front. Even with some of the injured guys back, there were still four players from the minors in the lineup against Toronto on Thursday.

I will have to check on that.

I didn't realize that CH was still around in the CD era. I took them up on either 8 tracks or cassettes years ago.

I haven't heard any trade rumors about what the Knights might do, but they don't usually talk a lot in advance of deals. The team has been really flat lately, losing two straight at home and getting flattened by Toronto last night. The high injury toll has definitely played a role, and several of the injured guys have yet to return. I read that Eichel might be back during the road trip that begins tomorrow in Ottawa.

I'm glad that I went to the Pro Bowl the last year before they started the flag football nonsense. Even without tackling, it was entertaining, and what was run resembled actual plays. I'm not going to pay to see a sport that I played on the playground in the seventh grade.

Just do away with the American and National Leagues altogether. Interleague play has essentially done that already. Set up divisions that make geographic sense, and have everyone play under the MLB banner.

Mess is a good way to describe it. The Mayor of Las Vegas is beginning to believe that this group is too disorganized to pull off the relocation. She openly said that they should go back and talk to Oakland. Locally there is basically zero enthusiasm for the A's. IMO a lot of it goes back to the "parallel paths" nonsense that went on for almost two years, supposedly having a binding agreement for one site here then flipping to another (which is far less suitable for a ballpark and will create a traffic nightmare), promising a final decision and then not delivering multiple times, all the while pursuing Howard Terminal in Oakland. We have had the sense all along that we were being played for leverage, and little that has happened since has changed that perception. We want an MLB team. Just not this one.

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.

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.

I would be tempted to vote for the dead dog.

I would drop $20 at those odds. The 18K:1 is at FanDuel. I can get 15K:1 at established sports books.

I seem to remember a special years ago during which he visited Fairfax High School, which I assume is his alma mater.

I wonder if it has presidential ambitions. It would beat our current choices. Damn. Just read Blarg's link saying that it has died.

The limes are just imposters, then.

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.

I have watched his YouTube videos. He has a lot of interesting takes.

I'm far happier with this than them spending big on questionable free agents just to give the illusion of contending.

I'm not going to subscribe in order to read it.

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.

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.

It was explained to the captains before the OT coin toss.

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.

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.

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.
