Which is ridiculous because its no different than you returning the merchandise after you receive it i.e. doesn't fit, changed mind, got better deal elsewhere, etc.
I'm returning my WS Champs hat because its too big and the writing/logo on the front is really crooked. Looks like I got the hastily made one that looks awful

Give those 6 year old Tibetan kids a break. They've got a lot of backlog.

I got the blue jersey with no name at the min maid store but I went off the coat hanger size and it ended up being 2 sizes bigger. I had already tore off the tags so the cashier at the store said they wouldn't take the exchange. But the Manger came and said he would make an exception. However all that was left was Bregman jerseys so I had to get that.


The way you phrased that makes it sound like they gave you a Carlos Gomez jersey

I had a crazy dream last night. I went to some crazy baseball expo where they were announcing all the regular season awards. I got to take bp with Barry Bonds' bat, which was heavy as a mofo. While I was doing so, they announced Altuve as MVP.

Later on I got to shoot the **** with Mike Trout. He hated rangers fans with a passion.

Hats are sent out to all but one person; I had to clear up an exchange between two posters; and that hat will go out tomorrow to Third Coast.

Everyone else's hat shipped yesterday and is showing it should be delivered today.

Article about Judge and Altuve and the MVP award tonight. Too much reference to player sizes as usual but I still can't get enough talk about the '17 season.

Quote:

It feels more like the season belonged to Judge. Maybe that's the influence of playing for the Yankees. Maybe it's because his season was more shocking, and something new always gets more attention. Altuve also had others stealing focus away from him at various times as the Astros ran away in the AL West -- George Springer and Carlos Correa and then Justin Verlander.

Meanwhile, Judge was in the headlines all season, bashing those mammoth home runs, winning the Home Run Derby in dramatic fashion, slumping after the All-Star break, and then carrying the Yankees to a wild-card berth with a monster September when he hit 15 home runs and drove in 32 runs.

hat said ... I think Altuve is the MVP here. Judge has the lead over Altuve in FanGraphs WAR (8.2 to 7.5), while Altuve has the slight edge in Baseball-Reference WAR (8.3 to 8.1). The difference for me is that Altuve was much better in clutch situations, with far superior numbers in high-leverage situations and a higher win probability added. Judge not only beat up on a bad pitchers -- in 89 at-bats when the game margin was five runs or greater, he hit 17 home runs and slugged 1.000 -- but also benefited from that short porch at Yankee Stadium, hitting 33 of his 52 home runs at home.

My MLB shop orders have shipped in waves depending on the item. First stuff I got I ordered about an hour after game 7, the locker room hat and shirt which arrived on Nov 10. Then I got a replica hat for the wife shipped which got here yesterday Nov 15. I have a baseball sleeve shirt coming for her that is on its way that I ordered on Nov 2. Also now I have a pennant, 2 beer glasses, and a book that is supposed to arrive Nov 22 (also ordered Nov 2). Still waiting on shipping notification of a framed photo collage I got from them also (Nov 2 order date).

Got my Houston Chronicle poster and my 2014 SI issue cover earlier this week, granted these obviously weren't ordered from MLB shop.

He is an astounding overwhelming favorite in Vegas. If you don't think Vegas hasn't contacted the voters and found out who's going to win you're crazy. It's Altuve 100 percent

Hasn't been available as a bet in at least 2 months in Vegas. I believe this supports what you're saying. But it wasn't an available bet when I was there early September.

Stanton wins, that was apparently a bad sign that they are over valuing the long ball. Might point towards Judge
