I am a fan of the Warriors and Lakers. I can become a fan of both teams. Nothing wrong with that.
There should be moratorium on new teams using Red or Blue in their color scheme
There are only like 5 teams in baseball who don’t

hmmm...
Wingels would be more unique, but I’m not 100% sure he is going to stick with the big team all season.
Boyle is more common (but not as common as Thornton), but you have the benefit of knowing he is like 78% likely to be an all-star again.

If you count the Padres, Marlins, and Mariners, that leaves…
Giants, Orioles, Rockies, Pirates, White Sox, A’s.
Cubs are double-offenders. Maybe that’s why they suck.
You keep calling in Affeldt. I don't think that means what you think it means.
and the pirates throw in some red every now and then. The white sox were red and blue for a while too.
WWRWD?

White Sox were red, white & blue in the 80’s when Tonly LolRussa was their manager. AT some point, they were also all red and then there was the softball uni’s. There’s no excuse for red in the Pirates uniform

"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
True.
From ESPN
NEW YORK — Television ratings for this year’s World Series equaled the lowest ever.
The San Francisco Giants’ five-game victory over the Texas Rangers averaged an 8.4 rating and 14 share. That matches the record low of the 2008 Phillies-Rays World Series, which also went five games, with the decisive game suspended and completed two days later because of rain.
The average rating was down 28 percent from the 11.7/19 for last year’s Yankees-Phillies series.
The Giants’ 3-1 win Monday night on Fox earned an 8.8/14.
San Francisco averaged a 35.3/61 for the series, while Dallas had a 30.9/48.
The series averaged 14.3 million viewers, up 5 percent from 2008, when the country had fewer homes with televisions.
Game 5 drew 15.0 million viewers to beat “Monday Night Football.” The Indianapolis Colts’ 30-17 victory over the Houston Texans on ESPN had 11.9 million viewers.
Ratings represent the percentage of all homes with TVs tuned into a program. Shares represent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time.
No one here gets out alive.
This is the only thing that matters

Off to Disneyland, in search of that long lost Giants magic that was once inside...
the packing is tedious (I’m currently procrastinating!)
the move starts a week from today! /PANIC
but I have an interview at the Disney Store tomorrow for my much needed 2nd job! :)
how’s work?
Off to Disneyland, in search of that long lost Giants magic that was once inside...
Ah you are doing a mid-month move? I have to go to training this month. I’m panicking about studying :) and also procrastinating. Disney store near where you are going to live? That sounds like a job you would enjoy!
No one here gets out alive.
I have the Anaheim place til end of this month, our move in date for the new place is the 14th, which is awesome so I don’t have to do it all at once!
Do you have to travel for training or do you get to stay home for once? Don’t put off the studying too long, wanna do your best! ;) what are you training for?
Thx, it’s a brand-new store in south county so it’s beautiful and hi-tech but also small so it shouldn’t get too crazy, it will make the move away from DL a little easier :)
Off to Disneyland, in search of that long lost Giants magic that was once inside...
Just annual training for the airline.
Are those stores filled with children or are they mostly parents buying stuff for their kids? Disney gear isn’t cheap so it would seem more like an adult store than a toy store. But I guess I’ve never been in one.
No one here gets out alive.
this one is set up kinda like a library, there’s a kid area with tables with some interactive toys and comfy seating and a screen that shows snipits of Disney movies (duh) so kids can kind of chill there while their parents shop. I also think it’s size (and maybe location too) keep it from getting overwhelmed. But there’s loads to do and see, there are images projected on the trees and walls as little surprises that keep it “magical” and it has hardwood flooring and a sparkly dark blue “pathway” and I think that also keeps kids from acting a fool since it’s so nice. Other stores are pretty awful, no personality, no theming, just BUY OUR STUFF! LOL
good luck with your training/studying! :)
Off to Disneyland, in search of that long lost Giants magic that was once inside...
Thanks! Hope the moves goes smoothly. Good luck with the job! You are a perfect fit! They’ll be sad to see you go when the teaching prospects pick up again soon :)

From a TV Critic who puts its perfectly
Is the show as fresh as it was in season 2? Of course not. Is it as funny as it was in season 4? Nope. Have there been dark periods? Absolutely. Has it repeated every story it’s ever told at least three times? Practically. But here’s the thing: “The Simpsons” is still capable of being funny, and moving, and of making me and many other people happy that it still exists and is still producing new episodes. I thought last season was pretty darned strong all-around, and when I wrote a few weeks ago that it was arguably the show’s best season in many years, a number of readers piped in to say that they liked it, too, but would make that argument for season 20, or…

Enjoy last place for a very long time Baltimore
Angelos has given Showalter the choice of remaining manager or becoming GM, and at one point even broached the idea of Showalter filling both roles, according to source

This is going to end well.
How does a guy who spend millions on his team every year be so incompetent? Are there no other qualified candidates? I feel sorry for our Orange and Black brethren in Baltimore.
Wilber Bucardo: Missing?
Angelos hires really crappy yes man to run the team and spends money really, really badly. The team is so messed up that he had at one point two GMs running the team.

I was wondering why the other thread was so darn quiet.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
It's dead here, too.
It’s because of the game. Here’s the box score for the last inning, for instance:
- L Berkman boringly grounded out to second
- A Pujols monotonously grounded out to third
- J Jay unimaginatively grounded out to second
Not nearly as quiet as when you get chopped.

Phillies could exit the postseason tonight
And all we’ll hear about all week was that inning by Halladay.
I didn’t mind the bunt to put Carpenter in scoring position (which Ruiz made the errah on).
but the 2nd bunt, when its obvious you’re taking the bat out of Pujols’ hand that was wrong. Everyone could see Berkman didn’t stand a chance against Halladay before he even came to the plate.

It's probably not going to do much for you unless you have a specific deficiency
In which case you should be going to your doctor and finding out what that deficiency is and why you have it. If it’s because of a crappy diet, you’re better off changing that than taking vitamins.

Cards won in 2006, lost in 2004, 1987, and 1985.
Tigers last made it in 2006, last won in 1984.
Brewers last (and only) made it in 1982 (in the AL) and didn’t make the playoffs again until 2008.
Rangers, lost last year, obviously. They were founded in 1961 as the Washington Senators (part deux) and didn’t win their division until 1996 (though they were in first at the 1994 strike). They were fail for a long, long time.

If somehow that ended his career (which Achillies, if completely torn, can do) would his contract still have to be paid? or is that a contract insurance issue?

Both, I believe.
If they have insurance on the contract, the insurance would have to pay out, but Howard is guaranteed the money either way.

you’re talking about two different things here: Howard in particular vs premiums for sports insurance in general.
Premiums for sports in general are probably criminal, but in Howards case, should it be career-ending, the premium is most def worth it financially

I think the market definitely collapsed at one point and coverage became unavailable; I don’t know how much of a rebound occurred. Most insurance sectors (um, except bond insurance) have held up fairly well over the past few years.

he gets paid
I don’t know what the state of the insurance market for baseball contracts is these days. I seem to recall hearing it had sort of melted away, but I think after 2008 insurers were looking around for investments and started looking into catastrophic coverages (hurricane insurance, earthquake insurance, etc.).
The insurance re-pays the team, it’s a kind of stop-loss coverage. I don’t know how cost-effective the coverage is, but I think they do insure the larger ones still.

in terms of cost-effectiveness, saving $125MM would no doubt be in Phillys favor. But the Giants for example self-insure, so whether Philly even has coverage is another question.

Not if your house is worth squat versus your lot. If I owned an old teardown in my neighborhood, I would not insure. Granted, we are in a very seismically fortunate location, but even if not, it’s lot-vs-house value that in large part makes that decision.

They fight perpetually about stats vs. “intangibles”. I mean constantly.
And instead of rosterbation, it’s all about batting order. Shouldn’t Gardner lead off? Should A-Rod bat before or after Texiera? Which then leads to statheads telling them batting order doesn’t matter, rinse and repeat…

There are teams that actually need a DH.

As-is, if we’re trading Matt Cain it had better be for a player at a position of extreme need, not the two that our blocked by all our best non-pitchers.

This will be the first time since 1984 where I don’t have a team I am rooting for or against in the LCS. Whether rooting for my teams: Giants and Red Sox or against: Yankees, Braves, Phillies, Dodgers, Angels, Marlins.

Only three times in the last 21 baseball postseasons has the team with the best regular season record gone on to win the World Series (Yankees 1998 and 2009; Red Sox 2007).
