  1. Not yet. Still early. I also believe some MiLB will make a big impact in the pen this year.
  2. Sale? No. It's just one game. Sox were 0-1 after game 1 last year too. Thornburg? No idea what to expect from him.
  3. Like posting on an opposing team's fan forum or something?
  4. https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/03/29/mlb-awards-a-championship-belt-to-the-team-which-keeps-salaries-lowest-in-arbitration/ If you think this is anything other than a challenge to pay the players as little as they can legally get away with, get a load of this: "The​ Belt changes hands shortly​ after season’s​ end,​ in a crowded​ conference​ room​ at​ a luxury resort,​ where​ delegates​ from every​​ MLB team have been summoned for a symposium on arbitration. For three hours, they will work together at the direction of the league to set recommendations, which teams will use in negotiations with their players. It’s a thankless job. So before the meeting adjourns, they’ll celebrate an unsung hero in this battle over dollars. The ceremony ends with the presentation of a replica championship belt, awarded by the league to the team that did most to “achieve the goals set by the industry.” In other words: The team that did the most to keep salaries down in arbitration." Yes, an actual belt. There have been rumors about this for some time — when I went to that arbitration competition last year I spoke to people who mentioned it — but thanks to Carig’s excellent reportage, Major League Baseball has now admitted that that’s a thing. Whenever money matters come up, people who take ownership’s side said say “hey, it’s a business.” What they fail to understand is that while, yes, it’s all about the money, in some respects beating the players and holding down salaries as much as possible is a game to them too. STOP ROOTING FOR THESE BILLIONAIRES AND THEIR CHECKBOOKS. THEY DIDN'T BECOME BILLIONAIRES BY PINCHING PENNIES, THEY DID IT BY BEING ABJECT *******S.
  5. 100%. I don't get it.
  6. And Caddysack 2 is the least hilarious sports movie. The ending of Million Dollar Baby is funnier than that one.
  7. It's definitely worth the purchase price.
  8. MADSTORK would never post anything like this. You're definitely not him.
  9. It's just one game you nerds.
  10. I didn't like Moneyball. The book was fine. Haven't seen the other two.
  11. That's enough for now I guess. How's the instagram account doing with all your selfies?
  12. Another good one.
  13. Here's one.
  14. Great one.
  15. I get that one confused with Rookie of the Year which came out the year before.
  16. I used it to make fun of you because how often you do it............... LOL This is the TS version of the spiderman pointing at spiderman meme.
  17. You realize that this team will win 95 games and someone will complain "well they won 108 last year.............."
  18. Please do tell me all about the day I was born. I'd love to hear all about it from someone who was definitely not around then. I'm all ears. If it was any other poster, they'd have something interesting to say........................ LOL
  19. Mr Baseball is pretty good too.
  20. Nah, he was thinking "holy s***, I can't believe this kid wanted to come out 9 weeks early. Hope he doesn't die. Boy this is going to be stressful waiting for him to be released from the hospital since this is the 70's and life is very bleak right now. At least Carter will be president soon." Another swing and miss from Billy boy. It must be tough having the personality of day old dog throw up.
  21. He's the circus peanuts of TS posters. Once in a while you want to give them a shot, but you immediately regret it.
  22. I'll add it to my TS conspiracy theory list.
