    Worked through lunch and soooo hungry....

    Baltimore Orioles WC berth with the bubbly... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_lhffiQ4G0 Blue Jays WC berth with beer and bubbly.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ALi2-qAUpo New York Mets WC with the bubbly.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO_KQv3JObg Making the playoffs is a big deal! Celebrate and have a good time.

    Cleveland celebrated their AL Central division title with the bubbly.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35e4gdeTi_A I think it's pretty universal. Baseball is a very long season, and only 10 teams get the opportunity to play in a postseason game. Let loose and have fun! Celebrate the accomplishments over a long 6 months.
  5. Vanimal46
    For sure it's making the postseason. At that point, only 10 teams continue playing baseball.

    Hot off the presses at Fangraphs.... "What if the Twins Win the World Series?"

    Does anyone in the world work on Friday afternoons? By 3 PM, let's be honest. Everyone's screening phone calls for Monday and hoping nobody stops by their desk with a work task to accomplish.

    He would have to hit significantly more than the projected 24 HRs in 500 ABs... Hell, Eduardo Escobar has 20 himself in ~430 ABs. And Escobar brings much more to the table than Vargas does.
  9. Vanimal46
    I have no doubt he could be a premiere HR hitter in Korea or Japan. Who knows, maybe Vargas would have a resurgence like Eric Thames if he spends a year or 2 overseas.
  10. Vanimal46
    Probably Chris Carter 2.0

    I would say Grossman adds a lot more value to a team than Kennys. Robbie is one of the most patient hitters in the game. You say both strike out, but Vargas strikes out at a MUCH higher clip than Robbie. Robbie - 17.1 K% 15.3 BB% in 439 PA Vargas - 28.3 K% 7.5 BB% in 254 PA At this time last year, I wanted nothing to do with Grossman. Especially after his adventures in the OF. This year he's grown on me. The market showed last year that all-power and not much else players aren't valuable in FA.

    I'm not the greatest basketball mind.... But Westbrook needs the ball 24/7, Carmelo needs the ball 24/7, and I assume Paul George needs the ball a lot too. Can't imagine this is going to work out well, unless the NBA changes the rules and allows the Thunder to play with 2 basketballs.

    Taped anthems are used at high schools all across the country I would imagine. I remember at my high school they would play a generic version of the anthem with no lyrics.... Just a band that played the tune.
  14. Vanimal46
    First time there's been multiple players with 50+ HRs since 2007 when A Rod and Prince Fielder (Milwaukee version) hit 54 and 50 HRs, respectively.
  15. Vanimal46
    No kidding.... There's probably like, what, 12 good teams in the West and 1 in the East? A sports league will never do it, but this is a prime example to eliminate conferences all together and go with the 16 best teams overall for the playoffs. It's going to be silly when the #8 seed in the east has 45+ losses.
  16. Vanimal46
    I didn't understand it either. Seemed like an opportune time to get someone like Curtiss, Moya, or hell, even Perkins some work.
  17. Vanimal46
    I want at least one Chief-quality joke.
  18. Vanimal46
    I feel it's worth noting how awesome Corey Kluber has been as we wind down the season.... 15-1 - 1.62 ERA - 221/23 K/BB ratio - 161.1 IP over his last 22 starts. He'll surpass 200 innings for the 4th consecutive season.
  19. Vanimal46
    It does get played before EVERYTHING. It almost makes me wonder if the people that are outraged by this stand up from their couches, remove their hats, and put hands over hearts while the national anthem is played on TV... Or if they're like any other sane person in America and uses that time to get situated on the couch, grab a drink/food, and go on with their day.
  20. Vanimal46
    Great minds think alike! I haven't been on FB today to see you posted about it.
  21. Vanimal46
    So..... Is there anything left in the Eastern conference besides LeBron? Is it going to be like the AL this year where there's 3 good teams, 2 decent teams, and the rest garbage?
  22. Vanimal46
    I think it's only for U.S. based sports (Football, baseball, hockey, basketball) that they do the national anthem every time. Even for youth sports, the earliest time I can recall standing for the national anthem was Pee-Wee hockey (~11-12 years old). It never really made sense for me why playing the anthem was necessary before playing or watching an athletic event.
  23. Vanimal46
    Wow. Thanks for sharing. This document is an eye opener.
  24. Vanimal46
    The NFL is making this a hot button topic with players and teams silently protesting for their causes (social justice, racial equality, etc.) Why did singing the national anthem at sporting events become a thing in the first place? What value does it provide to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" or "Oh, Canada" before a sporting event gets underway?
  25. Vanimal46
    The Tigers pretty much sold off every movable contract they have... Miggy isn't going anywhere. Neither is Zimmerman's albatross contract. I'm surprised the Tigers haven't named an interim manager and told Ausmus to stay home the rest of the season. They're playing like a team going through the motions.
