  1. I know. But Minute Maid might have some contention with regards to paying to have their name on display and mentioned during all Astros home games. And suddenly this FITTEAM is getting their air time. It’s probably a bigger factor than you realize...
  2. Of course, you have yet to acknowledge Airplane! and Game of Death versus Space Jam...
  3. But I think I see the owners’ side. For example, Minute Maid paid the Astros a ton of money to play in a stadium bearing their name. But if the Astros played their games in FITTEAM Stadium, how’s that going to work? Is FITTEAM expected to pay more for extra exposure? Does Minute Maid get a refund?
  4. Arizona and Florida. I like the Cactus League and Grapefruit League suggestion
  5. Now that’s a good argument for MJ...
  6. Ok. Now say I posited that Kareem was the NBA GOAT based on his career Win Shares. What’s the defense for Jordan? Also worth noting but outside the argument, Airplane! and Game of Death were both better movies than Space Jam...
  7. Per Pro-Basketball-Reference.com, Kareem is the all time leader in Win Shares. But no one touts him as the GOAT...
  8. So.... how about that Cora? One whacky dude or what?
  9. Then either side. Less red in our Red Sox, please...
  10. I call for a moratorium on Marxism on any Red Sox board this side of the Volga River...
  11. Yes. Partial compensation https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/27/mlb-mlbpa-reach-agreement-on-postponed-season-pay.html
  12. Sad story. I believe he is the last Red Sox player to hit for a Natural Cycle..
  13. Seems odd to think about, but there was no suspended MLB season during the Spanish Flu pandemic. That virus killed 50,000,000 globally and 675,000 Americans and the US population was only maybe 110,000,000 at the time. But they had a season and the Red Sox won the World Series that year....
  14. What's the over/under as to when Jeff Bezos has all the money in the country? November 1st sound about right?
  15. The Sox have given plenty of drafted players less than $20,000 and seen them get into MLB or AAA. That reduced sum might not be a decrease for a lot of them...
  16. So apparently Blake Snell is out at pro-rated pay
  17. I think we will see every team trying that tactic to some extent...
  18. I don't want them. But my daughter did like getting the game balls more than the trophies...
  19. Don’t knock youth soccer. And are you knocking the “participation awards” for 5 year old kids? Ever seen them play any sport? Why reward winning? 99% of the time it’s purely accidental...
  20. Actually I would argue this is the year to lose it. Any other season, if you needed to fill a roster space somewhere with a UDFA, the best players available were undrafted after 40 rounds. This year, the UDFA pool contains a full assortment of sixth round picks...
  21. Don’t teams basically do that anyway? That’s how the Sox originally acquired Dan Butler...
  22. I suppose a better question is “does his agent think he can get a better deal?
  23. That’s because you don’t yet have kids who play sports. Right now, the only two you say you’re still interested in are the ones you’re physically involved in at some level. So expect baseball/softball/soccer etc. to join those ranks as your kid(s) pull you back in...
  24. The only shell of its former self is the Sox pitching staff. Still, I’m interested, and none of these changes dissuade me. In fact, I’ve wanted the DH in the NL for years now..,
  25. The players and owners fight about money even when there is no pandemic. This is about as surprising as the sun coming up...
