Let's see, I'm paying $100 a month for cable already, so......

Would you pay $100/month to watch GS games in a bar/lounge area of the arena - on the tv? http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25259058/golden-state-warriors-offer-100-monthly-passes-no-view-court

Fox Sports is one of the major things that's wrong with baseball, irrespective of who's in the booth.

I must admit I'm coming round to my earlier thought of making the games 7 innings. [/heresy]

Bryce Harper can catch, right?
-
Just saw this. Hope you get fully recovered soon, moonslav.

It's being reported that Harper turned down an "aggressive" longterm offer from the Nats. No idea how much except that it was south of the $400 million line. Now, I have to be honest here. Usually, I side with owners when it comes to salary matters, and I hate Harper with every atom of my being, but I don't blame him for testing FA. If some team is idiotic enough to give him $400 million guaranteed, good for him.

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25199467/cc-sabathia-new-york-yankees-agree-one-year-contract What I take away from this article is that the Yankees lost the ALDS to the Red Sox.

Another change: no expanding the rosters in September.
-
I always looked at a player's value from the salary compared to onfield production, and criticized deals like Stanton, because there's a ceiling to potential production. I don't think I considered the other factors like merchandise, pulling fans into seats on star value alone. I'm sure teams have their own equations that they use to determine how much they value players internally, that then informs their bids to free agents.

Ian Kinsler's mother.

Where does Ian Kinsler rank in Red Sox infamy?
Northern Star replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Before or after winning the Gold Glove? -
Aren't there analytics on the analytics?

Refreshing to see someone who's already made a quintillion dollars not go out and seek more.
-
I think Belgium are top now? Hmm.
-
They need to get rid of the loser point, so that a team with more OT losses doesn't edge out a team with more wins for the playoff spot.

I don't think I care enough about college football to hate teams, but if I had a list, Alabama would be on it for sure.

Upwards of 180 games and then....hockey!!

NL needs the DH, which means longer games, which means a pitching clock. I get sick of the length of some ABs with countless foul offs. Don't really want to tinker with the format of an AB though. That would be a drastic change to the game. I wouldn't be 100% against reducing the game length to seven innings, which obviously would be a huge change. I'm not saying I'm 100% for it, either. Way too many stats. The media likes to tell us stuff like this was the first time there have been champagne celebrations in the opposing team's locker room on back to back days. Who gives a s***? The real problem regards the length of games is that baseball was invented before tv and smartphones. Those two things have shortened our collective attention spans. Also, MLB needs to market their stars better. No one cares about them.

With the U.S. version of Thanksgiving looming, I'd like to take a minute to thank Yeszir, Youk and Jasonbay44 for providing this site and keeping us safe from trolls and spammers. It's a great refuge from the scary outside world. Thanks also to all the regular posters who contribute to the conversation and make this site a fun and entertaining place to be. (Yes, even you, Jacko).

LeBron in a Lakers uniform just looks so wrong.

One of the greats.
