Go up front with the majority of the moneys? $32, $30, $28,,….? Lower salary in the declining seasons and it leaves a bit more in the kettle for Skubal and Greene extensions.

Maybe I inherently blocked all of that BS out because BS.

Yeah, I ‘spose there’s a point there. But metros with bigger pops (Seattle) are without a team in the top tier basketball league.

Would you be happy with the Boyd and/or Montas contracts?

Admittedly I don’t get out much, but I don’t ever recall Trump being lauded as anti war and pro peace.

I assume the debt factors into the price tag if/when the current ownership group sells, but how much does that factor in? Its not necessarily a dollar to dollar debt to price tag ratio (ignoring factors like inflation) when there are likely numerous groups bidding.

He will play part of his next contract in Comerica Park. Book it.

But you have to buy the vowels.

8 home games in July and 8 home games in August. Also in August is a 2 week trip to the west coast. 3 games each at the Angels, Mariners, Athletics, and Giants.

So there's a perp that's just getting going and starting out small to test boundaries?

Who knew Ohio State had some NIL left over to bring John Cooper back to coach a game?

Got to see my oldest and her high school choir perform at Carnegie Hall earlier this week. It brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. I’ve never had any interest in going to NYC, but ain’t no way I was missing this. Obviously the theater has its history and ambiance. Fortunately we were able to easily see her from our balcony. Then we hustled her down to Philadelphia for her final matching band performance in the Thanksgiving Day parade. It was raining and we got a bit of a late start to walk to where we thought would be a good viewing spot. We literally got to the spot just before the float in front of them. As we were approaching and couldn’t really see much, I thought for sure I heard one of their usual parade songs. We kind of lucked out to see/hear them perform one of their Christmas songs, too.

I forgot the golden rule. The answer to all your question is money.

But what happens when a small market team engages in an Ohtani type deal? Does this practice become too onerous in the long term for some teams? Maybe it’s not that big of a deal, I don’t know.

So is this just another step in football splitting from the other sports? Or, shall we say that the other sports will soon split from football?

I was so focused on trying to find the ball that I hadn’t even considered that to be targeting. I will say, I am quite appreciative that the TV PBP guy (name escapes me) reminded us 4,934 times in the final couple of minutes of regulation and all of the overtimes that a Georgia win would clinch them a playoff spot.

It seems like deferred salary is being used more than before. I don’t think that’s a good thing, kicking the salary debt down the road. I understand the time value of money and those kinds of factors. What I don’t understand is how this affects the luxury tax. Is this a bit of a loophole in the CBA that might be good to keep current salaries down now but that debt exists still for the future? Or is there going to be another windfall of money to absorb that debt later on via increased streams of revenue?

Yeah, but Adames would’of stunk in Detroit because the walls are too deep.

I listened through it all sort of. But when he mentioned that top tier league with a team in …. Grand Rapids? Look, no offense to Grand Rapids. Nice area. But, I guess I have serious doubts about a top tier league featuring a team in Grand Rapids, and so my BS meter was enacted.

I just prefer that all of the offensive guys play some sort of adequate defense. The fact that he had slightly more than 0 reps with a mitt in Detroit is quite telling.

You sound like an old man. You also sound like me.

I thought I saw that Oklahoma State at Colorado was a 10am local start, too. Why?

Just guessing, but I wonder if he got swing happy or lost some of his plate discipline after his slow start this season?

Whoa, I said suit up, not but necessary get run. Although, maybe you could have.

What do you think should be accomplished by now?
