  1. I hope the Rangers score 4 just to spite Morneau
  2. Apparently they fight in preseason hockey. That's fun
  3. A baseball lifer with a high school education that gets treated like he's some MIT engineering dork because he plays platoons a little too early and often
  4. Really? I, for one, long for the days of the same 37 people going "I got 99 problems and Rocco is ALL OF THEM" in every game thread
  5. Ryan forgets whether he should be in the windup or the stretch, Morneau goes on to gush about how locked in he is.
  6. Sheesh, which team is fighting for their playoff lives here?
  7. What was your favorite Pohlad moment this year? Mine was when he started handing out $20 bills on live TV to fans in a park that doesn't accept cash
  8. On the one hand, you should beat the team that lost to the Browns at home On the other hand, those first three quarters against Green Bay look pretty rough right now in hindsight. And winning with zero touchdowns probably isn't sustainable This could be a game where they sleepwalk through the first half and at the end, we're wondering what the hell just happened. Or they could win 31-6. Hard to get a handle on this team/division/league so far
  9. LaFleur's seat is so hot, he's sitting in it while drinking a cup of coffee and saying everything is fine
  10. Nah, just scoping out our company that’s building an AI robot factory Start hoarding resources if you haven’t already
  11. The feed from the airport bar in Salt Lake City must be running a few pitches behind
  12. He may be done for a while
  13. They damn near blocked the first Bears FG attempt, not a shock they got one
  14. Nothing specific unfortunately. He's alluded to it a couple of times but haven't been able to find it in an article. It wasn't a real in-depth conversation, more a mention in passing. While it's possible I hallucinated the entire thing, it really does track with what I think is the most reasonable timeline. There's no way Falvey hands out the Lopez extension and Correa's second contract without ownership approval, and there's no way that ownership approves those contracts if the plan was to slash payroll by $30MM at the end of that same season. There had to have been a change in budget vs the original plan It also aligns with ownership decision making that would lead an outside investor to insist on a change of leadership as part of their agreement to make an investment
  15. It was suggested on Gleeman's podcast that Falvey was led to believe that they were in year one of a five year runway of increased payroll when they decided to reverse course after 2023. So he got his budget slashed right after locking in some immovable high-price contracts in Correa and Lopez, which handcuffed the payroll until they had to pay for Correa to go away. If true, no wonder the limited partners wanted nothing to do with Joe P
  16. Maybe I'm forgetting someone, but trading guys with 2+ years of control left was also unprecedented for Falvey and more of an indication of a rebuild
  17. That's a hell of a euphemism for marrying into the WalMart family
  18. No, he'll definitely win 3 Cy Youngs in the next 2 years
