Don't you think it's also exacerbated by the (now common) turn-over of players? Just when we get used to 'our' guys, a lot of them are gone. It's easier to be optimistic in the spring if you're dealing w/ familiar faces (doesn't matter really how good they are: Betts, Bradley, Vasquez, even guys like Verdugo). It's really diffficult to maintain 'team loyalty' or even to give a crap about winning when half the guys you've been loyal to are playing for other teams. I suspect this is the case w/ fans of nearly every team in the league.
-
I'm lost. You were objecting to my suggestion that the RS have not had successful playoff runs in the last few years?
-
Oh right, one playoff in five years! Can't believe how I misjudged recent RS glory.
-
Now the translator's resume (degree from UC Riverside, and time working for both the RS and Yankees) is reported to be completely fabricated--good news for Ohtani and those of us here who want to see this phenom play. [LATER: I find his extensive statement today completely credible, and consistent with everything (which isn't much) that we know of him.]
-
What is 'playoffs'?
-
Must have been '87 I was a Royals game in the photographers' well (gf on assignment). I lent a pen to Bill Buckner to sign something for a kid and as he handed it back, it made a small mark on my program. I would say I've treasured that program ever since, but I believe I gave it to my RS-obsessed nephew. -
In that case, I'll go w/ the unders on #1 and #2, but I'm having my interpreter go BIG on the overs on #3.

"And I tell 'em, in order to SAVE money, you gotta spend money. You see, there are three kinds of pipe ..." (--Moonstruck)
-
I think it is only fitting that the first prop bet should be the number of games Ohtani is suspended, or perhaps the amount of the fine, or the number of words in the reprimand.
-
If you always look for bargains, you get them.
-
You should strike!
-
The greatest play in baseball history! (Who was the dude in LF who over-ran the ball and caught it bare-handed?)
-
Do you think so? Every time there is a labor dispute in sports, all I hear are cries that the players get paid way too much; I never hear about owners making big profits. And it's always struck me as odd. Maybe bec. fans these days are into fantasy sports, and thus relate more to the FO than to the players?
-
Not sure we should release our inner Schadenfreude since we're the ones who gave up Mookie for him.
-
Top free agents. You mean like the two Tylers?
-
Our analytics department assures us that this means they're due.

(Pretty sure you meant 'plu-perfect PASSIVE subjunctive'--spellcheck strikes again). If English had any such form (or how about in this context 'were English to have such a form'), wouldn't it have to be "would have gotten scrod"? I think that construction would be described as a plu-perfect passive conditional (not a subjunctive, although the difference is more or less in the description). But in any case, the word 'scrod' itself is still a past participle. I'll gladly wager a SeaDogs ticket on it.
-
I got the scrod part. But I think you mean the 'past participle'? (It's not late in the day yet, but once I get my 'medication' going, I'll give it another try!)
-
OK. It's late in the day, and perhaps I have an excuse. But I don't get it!
-
Yet again, alas, all the positive things one can say about this team involve repeated use of the subjunctive.
-
See the ball hit the ball but a lot of the times you overthink like is it goig to be a fast ball or down in the zone like you don't expect your bench players to hit .300 you just want them to fill a role but last night Bobby got that slider right in the zone and that's what you want and he got all of that and that's what he can do but sometimes he strikes out but that's the deal with all hitters gotta do the best you can it's hard the thing with breaking balls is that he see them but what you want is ... [REPEAT]
-
And when did the go-to sports-interview question become "What does it mean to you that [insert any banality about the team]?"
-
He cannot keep his mouth shut while his weak-ass brain is trying to form something intelligible to say. He parodies himself.
-
Is that Youk during the broadcast? Hasn't he run out of the number of words each human is allotted in life?
-
Your reading comprehension is alarming.
