Let me add, this was about the same time that teleministers started going polical under the guise of Christianity

When churches begin chasing the $$$ all bets are off. Mega churches and their ministers are false prophets.

Who would know the difference. I say that as a Pirate fan from the ‘60s. They are currently my #2 team

I guess we can start calling Trump a Socialist now...in fact the entire party is akin to 1950s-2000 USSR Thank you for your attention to this matter

The Cracker Barrel thing along with several of the "changes" in the past only prove that hard core MAGA "influencers" are actually big cry babies.

I don't think a President Vance would be an upgrade. It's probably what the hard core oligarchs would love

I like this thinking. In Michigan the Michigan Learning Channel has received bipartisan support from the state legislature since it was started during the Pandemic. It’s also received high praise from some of the most conservative members On a personal note, this was my wife’s “baby” so there is a personal connection https://www.michiganlearning.org

Is FAUX starting to turn?

That may be the bottom line. Pairings matter, the PBP guy may be adequate but a poor "color commentator" could actually bring down a broadcast. Monroe was bad both on TV and the few radio broadcasts I listened to. Unfortunately Gibson's health contributed to his ability to perform up to even his own standards (I listened to the old Locker Room on WXYT with Gibson, Gary Danielson and Eli Zaret) plus his early TV Tigers stuff. Shep isn't strong enough to enhance a sidekick

Didn't the Trumps Supreme Court already rule that Presidents are immune from their actions while in office? They have also seemed to lean toward excusing Trump from his out of office actions. Part of the Court's CalvinBall thinking with Trump. It's now DonaldBall, he can do no wrong

The Cubs didn't begin retiring uniform numbers until 1982 with Ernie Banks. Players like Gabby Hartnett for example played before uniform numbers became an established thing. Many of the greats played for several teams besides the Cubs. The team also has always seemed had a very conservative stance on retiring numbers, unlike say the Yankees,

I prefer the term Godfather. in the Mario Puzo sense

It's basically revenge. I would wager there are no boxes sitting in bathrooms or garages.

Shep is best suited sitting in a studio giving score updates. Nothing more

I admit that I'm in the minority. I want four eight team divisions. 4 division winners, the next 4 best records make the playoffs from each "League". I want the "World Champs" to earn their trophy. I'm agnostic about dividing among divisions, would like to keep the traditional AL and NL teams remain in their leagues. Maybe going back to the pre 1961 days. There would be a couple issues, Atlanta comes to mind. The current Milwaukee club has been in place longer than it was in Seattle. Dodgers and Giants are staples, of course on the west coast. Maybe just make the Athletics play all their games on the road considering how much they've moved

I posted this in the History thread, but for those who don't venture into the political Juan Marichal, Johnny Roseboro fight. Marichal attacked Roseboro after he felt that Roseboro had intentionally brushed him back returning a pitch to Sandy Koufax

Especially after placing our orders and waiting a half hour before being told they had run out. The one Hardeeville, SC is dead to me

So Cracker Barrel is rebranding. They have removed the dude and refreshed the sign a bit. MAGA Birds are losing their minds. That should tell you all I need to know. Let them boycott. Maybe I’ll be able to get some dumplings for a change

I think this nails it....The Supreme Court is allowing Trump and company to play CalvinBall.
