Wow... welp, sorry, Marlins fans...
I still think it might be an improvement.... just barely.

Dumb question for you baseball vets. Does selling the team mean that they'll move from Miami, or does it just mean that they're under new ownership?
Just new ownership, Marlins built a new stadium a few years ago and are basically locked into staying in Miami for next 25-30 years.

New ownership.

May the Schwartz be with you
Unless they can get out of the lease for their new stadium (they cant), they be there for a long time.

Well, that's great!
nothing an executive order or 30 can't handle

It's the Koch brothers instead!
I hope Rob Manfred isn't paying attention at the ideas coming out of ESPN MLB reporters like Karl Ravech. 7 inning games, split the season into the 2 different seasons of 81 games to increase drama in September (how would that work if some teams would get into the playoff after the 1st season and could lose the next 81 games and still get in?!?).
The amount of ideas to "improve" baseball look like some company catering to a non-costumer desires while disregarding the current customers opinions, even if they implement they risk losing the current fans and not gain anyone else.

Was anyone planning on making a WBC thread in OT when it starts up?

I'd love to. I make the best deals.
Just my presence alone in the stadium would create a dynasty.
Got a fresh new jersey from my dad to wear this season. Looking forward to going to a lot of games this year.

Bauer might be the dumbest guy in baseball

Maybe he was infected with stupid when his finger was bleeding.

I hope Bauer tears both of his UCL's and his to pitch with his feet. Maybe then he'll live up to his potential.

Republicans are seriously the whiniest group of people I've ever seen. "I just can't handle seeing these opposing viewpoints! Please stop it!"

I have the same viewpoint on the DH. It's not real baseball.
10 years from now, when all baseball has the DH, 5 runners on base after the 7th, hold your hand up to give walks, land mines, and ritual executions, just think how popular it will be. Lord Manfred will need your thanks then, bub.

Fake baseball.
Eh, its from both sides. One side just uses logic and facts and the other likes to talk out of their ass.

Prince Fielder is getting a cooking show on Netflix called Fielder's Choice. Thats pretty awesome.
Alternative baseball.
I'll watch it if he has a puppet sidekick.
Speaking of cooking...

"Pulled Pork Teriyaki Spam Sandwiches"??? Hold that L stros
...That stuff sounds pretty great though. Chorizo loaded fries?! Come on, breh.
Those sound good, I just don't know if I'd trust a stadium to do Spam justice. A slice of Spam, cut to the correct thinness and heavily grilled on each side is terrific.
I'm expecting the stuff they put on those sliders to be too thick and barely grilled... Not appealing to me one bit.
Rangers did a great job with their stuff.
I'll see about that... Or not, since I'm going to a Rangers game on Dollar Chili Dog night...
edit: I've been had, it's "Texas Chili Company" Dollar Dog Night, not Chili Dogs
But there also seems to be "Cholula all you can eat" seats as well? WTF TexasI purchased a $28 dollar hot dog on dollar dog night.

Tigers owner Mike Ilitch has died. Kinda sad that he didn't get to see them get a ring - seemed like that was a big goal for him
should've put a photo on gaf
I did! I think I had it as my avatar too.
Don't know if this is good or bad for the Tigers.
(I don't care if this is "too soon," he was 87. He's had one foot out for years now.)

I do wonder how this will affect the Tigers and how they spend in the future. A lot of their crazy spending was always attributed to his age and desire to see a champ before he died. Perhaps theyll be quicker to pull the trigger on a fire sale.

He really wanted that WS. RIP.
