  1. Most of us civilians aren't aspiring to enter the halls of fame of our respective professions so yes, that's perfectly fine.
  2. Banks and Trout are apples and oranges. One was forced to remain on the same team, the other clearly saw how inept ownership was and still took a hometown discount to stay. If you go era by era, you can’t fault Banks but you certainly can fault Trout. And sure, enjoy the lifestyle and lack of interesting meteorological phenomena that pique your interest but don’t expect that to help your legacy as a player.
  3. I'd be honesty shocked if they don't postpone at least one Dodger game this weekend as rare as postponements are here. Imagine people trying to navigate that parking lot in a downpour.
  4. The swooping gradient pants stripe represents the grace and steadfast courage of the Casa Bonita cliff divers.
  5. Nah, knowing the pace of these things the Pirates will be eliminated far before then.
  6. Here’s the best explanation I’ve seen:
  7. Ohtani statement was exactly what I’ve been saying. Ippei hacked his bank account and lied to Shohei’s reps while in Korea, Shohei didn’t personally pay off anyone and doesn’t gamble. Let’s move on.
  8. Looks like the pendulum is starting to swing back from Pete Rose 2.0 to con artist. Also, the whole ShOhEi ChAnGeD hIs StOrY narrative needs to die. Ippei was the sole source of information and the story only changed after Ohtani’s lawyers debunked the first version.
  9. Are we really in a world where the WAC is going to outlive the Pac 12?
  10. So, Ohtani apparently didn’t even realize that Ippei had a gambling problem until the clubhouse announcement in Seoul and Ohtani wouldn’t have had any idea what he was doing if he gambled on other sports anyway.
  11. Considering that Ohtani's team has contacted law enforcement and is calling for a full probe into the theft, unless they're setting themselves up for what may in fact be the most significant self own in the history of professional sports it would appear that the theft angle would be likely what transpired in the same vein as the take old as time of associate of millionaire athlete getting greedy. The shifting stories probably had a lot to do with them being overseas and not being in the most convenient situation to kick the guy to the curb when he still has tickets reserved on the team charter. Of course, the hot takes about Ohtani not talking to anyone are hilarious considering that he's probably taking legal advice on that front.
  12. Theoretically all Ryan Smith has to do is make a higher bid and pledge to build a community park there and off the 'Yotes go to SLC.
  13. I know that the Padres have a tenuous TV rights situation right now but you'd think they'd actually afford to supply their players with gloves that don't explode on *checks schedule* OPENING DAY.
  14. That Jaguar logo change still baffles me as being such an unnecessary downgrade. The new one is just an overly beveled wordmark away from being a typical early 2010s Phoenix Design Works low major D-I college look.
  15. I mean, the one time I was on the Phoenix light rail the guy next to me had an ankle monitor so you're not that far off.
  16. They signed up to freeze their asses off in the figurative sense. I don't think they signed up to freeze their asses off in the literal, "nurse, please pass me the scalpel" sense. But, if we're talking about all the dopes who thought that they only layer they needed was body paint, they fully deserve what's coming to them.
  17. In more Dodger news, they updated the batting helmet logo.
  18. I’m just amazed that the ballpark with the best view of the New York skyline will be 2,500 miles from New York.
  19. The Rockies black vests never worked when they dropped the purple sleeves. The obnoxious piping made them look like TATC uniforms.
  20. Nope. In fact, the main port until they dredged the now Port of LA and coverted Rattlesnake Island to Terminal Island was Redondo Beach.
  21. OKC's is abhorrent in that they still use a horrible abstract art piece that was a placeholder before they even had a name picked out. Even worse is that if that piece of trash was a child it'd be getting its drivers license right about now. When that thing made its debut the Warriors still used the lightning Power Ranger and the Sixers still had the Iverson-era logo. With Bennett fleecing the public yet again for a new arena they really have no excuse to not, you know, actually have a logo that has something to do with Thunder.
  22. What's this? The Clippers rebranding to acknowledge that they're named after a ship?
