As much as it would suck to lose LMJ for the rest of the season, my concern would be next season or longer. If it is the ligament again, can he have a second TJ and be a good pitcher? Not many have had it more than once.

TJ is supposed to last ~7 years.

I believe nathan eovald has had tj 2 times and is doing well. But I dont think the time between surgeries was really short.

I posted in Ticket Exchange, but wanted to share with the real fans in case anyone knows someone looking for some good face value tickets for Game 1.

I was listening to 790 while driving in this morning and apparently this guy claims Lance tweeted him and told him.

I find that really hard to believe.

Dallas radio saying how everyone in baseball should be rooting for the Dodgers because of all the adversity. Like spending more money than anyone else only to have it blow up in their faces via injury or criminal allegations. ****'em

Tweeted him and told him his injury or tweeted him and told him to delete that crap?

The latter is more likely but it sounds like the guy is claiming he knows Lance.

I don't think Lance would tweet a buddy that before it was announced. He knows how big of a deal it is.

Adversity? For paying a sex addict $40 MM and have him go so far off the end of the spectrum that he was finding chicks he could get away with beating up? For paying $32MM for a guy who breaks down every year? For spending $300MM this year on a roster and having so much disregard for the luxury tax that they could go get the best trade piece on the market?

Man I wish I had that much adversity in my life.

And for acting like Betts and Joe Kelly were not part of the cheating Red Sox?

SIAP, but apparently the Giants were the original buzzer-users. This is all a joke. It's like pretending NFL players don't ALL use steroids & HGH and being outraged when someone gets popped. Even the "good guys" cheat. JJ Watt is roided out to the gills and Shohei is probably a cyborg.

Get over it.

Since he's already saved baseball, what will Chris Taylor save tonight?

Christmas?
The family farm?
Democrcy?

Joe Buck is like Nickelback or Arby's. None of them are bad. People only hate them because the Internet tells them to.
I'm a little late on this reply, but:

  • No one reasonable hates Arby's. It's top of it's class or close to it.
  • At their peak only hipsters hated Nickelback. They sold 50M albums and if you were of a certain age in the early 00s, you definitely turned "How You Remind Me" up and hammered out that intro drum fill while wearing bootcut jeans without boots and a pooka shell necklace. You may even have had frosted tips. Yeah they were ubiquitous and started cranking out similar-sounding songs and everyone got tired of them, but like Coldplay, Kings of Leon etc. they had their day in the sun and you liked it. My new suburban gym is packed full of olds and they very considerately play the 90s and 00s station for us (and therefore a lot of NB). It's been long enough since their prime that I hadn't consciously listened to Nickelback in over a decade. Despite their subpar lyrics and imagining the lead singer's frosted chia hair in my head, I have to admit that I found myself singing along in my head and liking it.
  • All that aside, I do agree that Joe Buck is a lot like Nickelback

When people are hungry - they actually think that they should go to Arby's?

I don't think I know a single person who goes to Arby's

I also got the Barney song stuck in my head once for a few months. Doesn't mean it's good. And Coldplay and KOL are actually all gifted musicians, big damn difference.

Here's what happened to Nickelback. They were pretty good, people liked them and How You Remind Me was a hit. So everyone went out and bought that album. Then, while listening to that album, everyone realized all the songs sounded exactly alike.

And similar to Applebee's, we grew up and realized what real food was.

Hell, I'd eat Lubys or Grandys before Applebee's. Damn I miss Grandys being in Houston.

I like Arbys.

Nickelback's songs all sound alike. The one song is fine, they just aren't a good band.

Applebees has always been terrible, even before I ever ate in a nice restaurant.

Did not mean to send the thread in this direction.

Arby's is Jose Vizcaino. Never the first choice, but when needed, it fills the void nicely.

The curly fries are Jose Vizcaino's defensive versatility. Obvious strength and sometimes strong enough to keep him on the roster alone.

Applebees was awful before that horrendous commercial and country song came out. Nickelback is like a dog whistle for humans, extremely painful. Arby's gave me the worst hot lead gut I've ever had in my life, -10 / 10, do not want again.

The only thing especially good about Arby's is the fries, and I'm pretty sure those are the same Sysco-made seasoned curly fries that I had at my high school cafeteria.
