  1. Yeah to me that always felt like more of a statement about the manager than A-Rod...
  2. Funny Canseco steroid story. Back in 2001, I sued to go to a lot of White Sox games, because tickets were cheap and remarkably easy to get. Sometimes, we wound up sitting in the RF seats back back when the decks were so steep it was literally like climbing a ladder to get from row to row. But hey, twelve dollars. I went with my wife, who is legally blind (some vision has been restored since 2001). The only player she could recognize from the RF seats was Jose Canseco, because he was simply that much bigger than everyone else on the field. I thought "THAT should be the steroid test. If my wife can recognize you from 350 feet away by the size of the blur, you are CLEARLY on steroids."
  3. He is an extremely clean, and extremely funny stand up comedian. If you have Netflix, he has about 5 or 6 specials streaming there. He is also a contributor to CBS Sunday Morning. And recently, during the quarantine, he has been streaming "Dinner with the Gaffigans" on Youtube where you can watch weirdness of him having dinner with his wife and 5 young children...
  4. Yeah that's how I came up with it. That's why I was wondering who else everyone knows about that I don't...
  5. It depends. His salary does drop by about $4mill after this season. If they play actual baseball and he still has it, he’s walking away from 2 years and $38.7 mill. He might be able to top that in free agency...
  6. ... unless JD opts out.
  7. If all the games are played in Florida and/or Arizona, weather becomes much less of a factor in playing into November and really, even December...
  8. Maybe someone like this guy... https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=cuomo-001mar Who knew?
  9. For some I guess. I mean I watched plenty of college football and I was surprised to find out Jim Gaffigan played at Purdue...
  10. I'm trying to create some new, senseless trivia-based stuff to keep some dialogues interesting but without any real emotion. The difference on the other one was lookng for succes stories. Here, just maybe some minor league ball players of college football players more successful that so few realized even played...
  11. Man. No activity on this thread?
  12. That’s what makes him so remarkable!
  13. But did they figure on 2020 Grapefruit League MVP Alex Verdugo?
  14. For a guy whose career got off to such a slow start, he did have an enviable one...
  15. Wow. Surprising. RIP
  16. Who are some famous folks or celebrities you were surprised to find out were Division 1 college athletes or maybe even professional athletes? I think my two most surprising ones were Joel McHale, who played football for University of Washington, and Jim Gaffigan, who played football at Purdue. Any other names?
  17. I think it’s based on a real story. The only change was it was a guy, not a dog...
  18. “Come to the Dark Side. We’ve got Air Bud movies.”...
  19. Were there illicit substances involved? Stoners will watch anything if they’re indulging...
  20. Austin Maddox retired
  21. You’re freaking me out...
  22. And you watched all these without being quarantined?
  23. To heap on the irony, I’ve always suspected that a big part of the reason they went after Castillo was due to the inability of Jackie Bradley to hit at that stage of his career. Of course, Castillo’s biggest problem was Dombrowski never liked him. While most definitely would have made an MLB team and possibly started. There are plenty of worse outfielders in MLB...
  24. ... shown with his appearances in both Firld of Dreams andThe Benchwarmers. Although in The Benchwarmers, he is only credited as Darth Vader (voice). Not sure if he is actually in the movie or they just have a clip from Star Wars or what. And no quarantine is long enough to make me watch that movie...
  25. I poked around and James Earl Jones has also been in 4 baseball movies. The Sandlot The Sandlot 2 Field of Dreams The Benchwarmers
