Watching Kenny's Perfecto .. what a crime that a line up with Pudge, Clark, Canseco, Gonzo couldn't get more done....

Also, Norm spent the entire game speaking of all the consecutive outs..

That's my ultimate missed story. I was there. My grandfather made us leave before the Greer catch to miss traffic.

Watching it too, I'd forgotten who all was on the roster at the time. Some of my favorites.

Also forgot that Bo was on that Angels team.

That field looked awful with the big dead patches, but the crowd was into it

Don't care. Play baseball. There are millions without work or hope of work returning. There are 10's of thousands that have lost their jobs and have a long time to wait for the rebuild after these riots. Now is not the time for a public labor dispute. Get out there and be the face of the recovery. Help the nation get back to some type of normalcy.
So if your boss told you that even though your job is essential in creating interest and revenue for the company and the company can't make any money without you, you should agree to get paid zero (if no fans) for the most important time of year for the company because other people don't have jobs you'd say "sure sounds good"?

I dont care to hear people who make a living playing a game gripe and complain in public about their problems. No one is stopping them from seeking gainful employment elsewhere. Same as if my boss did what you described. The simple truth is they have crapped the bed in this whole thing. They (players and owners) have handled this in the worst imaginable way. Instead of capitalizing and growing their fan base they are pushing people away with the infighting.
Communists aren't people. They are property of the state.

Nothing is about Covid anymore and both sides are using it for their advantage

Owners look like they don't want to pay staff, no ticket sales, just eat the loss, and move in before CBA

Players don't want to play a game for less than they are worth....frankly Id love to see the minor league players take their place

I like what I saw about the guy. Good pick. I'm just so mad at the MLBPA that I DGAF.

You wouldn't expect them to make a sensible draft pick, would you?

I don't think it's fair to write him off as DH at this point. He could end up being a 1B/COF. I know the Rangers have a wealth of that now, but a lot can change in the 3-4 years it takes to develop.

Mike Piazza was a 60th(?) Round pick and a favor to his parents. You never know. But 2nd round? Geez, what the hell are they doing? Maybe they're planning to sign 100 UdFAs fo 20K or whatever it is. Who is making the decisions?

Their drafting absolutely blows and has for a long, long time.

Can't wait til we draft Howie Feltersnatch in the 3rd.

This is the weirdest pick of the draft so far. Carter isn't on the Baseball America top 500 draft prospect list, and no one on the MLB Network seems to know who he is.




This is baffling. They probably could have drafted this guy in the 8-12th round range.

check Exxon Mobil and Energy Transfer Partners stock. These guys are pinching pennies by drafting nobodies because Ray Davis and Bob Simpson's portfolios are sucking wind. They are basically heading to full Tom Hicks territory. Watch them cheap out on the $20k rookie free agent signings too.
