  1. Did you all read about the attendance in Chicago yesterday? Less than 1000 showed up...
  2. At someone's house, with mlb.tv! Watching the game. Well, we are a bit behind.... So, spoilers.
  3. In fairness, I find most of my friends don't want to talk about anything difficult to discuss, let alone race. The comment that this thread isn't talking about race....I don't agree. Even this part is about racism.But, if someone wants to change the direction, start changing the discussion, rather than complaining about how others are discussing it. Or not. Doubt we are going to change anything among the 12 or so people chatting here.
  4. People keep typing Rosario is a good OF, even though statistics were posted last year and in this thread, showing he's actually not when compared to other MLB OFers. I think people got an impression of him a couple years ago that doesn't line up with the facts. As for LOMO, not good yet. I remain, though not very, hopeful.
  5. Buxton is more disappointing than Morrison, to me. I keep waiting for the superstar....
  6. I've never understood the dislike of arod.....
  7. Why would rain be bad luck? Water is what gives us life! I think I read someplace it was considered lucky. No idea why. Are they going to play today?
  8. At least they have kinley instead.... Also, the dodgers appear to trust unproven guys. Way more than this squad does
  9. No one wants to see kinley pitch...
  10. We've seen this change in the NFL..... The middle class is dead. Not sure why baseball would be different
  11. I don't think the Yankees will be in on him at all, given their minor leagues....but the Dodgers? They should have traded for him.....
  12. Did they really try if hte offers were laughable?
  13. Racism is a dial, not a switch. That makes using the word difficult, imo. Because no one wants to be called a racist, as was posted above. Words are very important, they are how we frame a discussion. So, when we use that word, it tends to instantly create an adversarial environment, imo. It is the right word, but it is a loaded word. As for racims itself, I can't see it ever truly going away. We are thousands of years into our development, and people still fear the different. Maybe, almost surely, it will lessen. But I don't know if it will ever truly go away. Systemic racism is imbedded in so much of how the world runs, that I often wonder if it is fixable by acts of government, or if it just needs even more and more generations to fade.
