The Mariners need to go back to a variation on the M-trident logo. The compass is terrible.

you will sit through every game of your rebuild and you will like it
I refuse to watch any games started by Ryan Weber or Williams Perez.

Did you not see the NL Central in 2015?
100 wins, 98 wins, 97 wins for the first three teams.
One of them got better but won't be sneaking up on anyone. The other two got worse. I think all three teams will have great seasons but you usually don't project 100 wins. That's crazy.

Hey, I wouldn't mind watching MLS.

But what if they play the game the right way and take things one day at a time? Will that help offset the liability of not sneaking up on anyone?
Top tier analysis.
Why do people on the Internet always overreact, jesus. I wasn't giving an analysis. Just saying that the cubs young players aren't going to catch anyone by surprise now and it'd be insane to expect arrieta to repeat his performance from 2015. 101 wins is really difficult. That's all I was saying.

He was joking man.
I'm just further explaining my comment in case he wasn't joking since it just came off as dismissive. No big deal.

Hooooo boy baseball season needs to go ahead and get started I guess.
Yeah but that's what happens when the local professional teams are 1. The canucks and 2. The whitecaps.
Yes pls, because I can't take the Flyers losing anymore.

Williams Perez was actually kind of good until he took a line drive to his foot and turned into Jo-Jo Reyes.

Philly is the city of brotherly tanking. One day soon every philly team will win a title in the same year.

I agree you don't project 100 wins. I just thought you meant that it wasn't going to happen because they're in the same division, which I don't think is the case at all. Especially with how bad the Reds and Brewers are

Even then, I prefer the MLS product to EPL, La Liga or Bundesliga.
And besides, fuck the Canucks. Aquillini's can burn for them trying to maximize profits in order to make the team look good in a sell then properly rebuild. Lost this former fan right here.
Nope and you're right. Last year all three teams were insane (and will be again). Just looking at the projection and I'm surprised.
I'd love to have an NBA team back.

I imagine with the success of the Raptors currently, alongside a burgeoning subsection of youth too poor to play hockey (Lets be honest, hockey is essentially a middle to upper class sport nowadays, and that is even more apparent in Vancouver) but able to play basketball, I wouldn't be surprised if we see another NBA team in Vancouver in 10-15 years. Just a matter of the dollar co-operating.

Enjoy it when Lowry and DeRozen both go to big markets.
because MLB focuses on their stuff first?
i mean it's also possible that there is a separate team that just isn't as good at their job doing it.

Because they just started rolling it ou brah. The All Star rollout was a disaster though.

May the Schwartz be with you
MLB is good, ESPN is good and from what I remember when I had it the WWE network was good, all same company. Seems like NHL is just a bad sport that you should stop watching.

I just resigned Mauer for a major discount but hearing he be wearing shades alot more. Should I be worried? Seems like he's really never recovered from his injury

Since nobody has ever been suspended permanently before Jenrry Mejia, I was curious as to what the protocol is now.
Mejia can apply for reinstatement to Commissioner Manfred in February 2017.
If Manfred approves the reinstatement, Mejia must serve a 324-game suspension (two seasons). If Mejia fails a 4th test, he would be banned for life with no chance of reinstatement.
If Manfred denies the reinstatement, Mejia can appeal to an arbitrator, but would have to make some kind of defense that his permanent suspension is "without just cause." If the arbitrator ends the ban, Mejia would still have to serve a 324-game suspension.

William Perez used to be a good pitcher, then he took an arrow in the knee.
