I have to admit, although not a fan of the nickname, that squirrel cover has grown on me the past few weeks. Gonna be a tough final here... -

It's just more Collective Bullshit... - Owners lock out the players. - The two sides meet a couple of times. - Players don't budge. - Owners throw hands up in air and say players can't be dealt with by us and suggest a third-party neutral side to deal with the 'unreasonableness.' - Players say no way Jose*. - Owners say they tried and players won't sit down and negotiate. - Players say, 'fuck off, you're the one's who shut things down.' *Not sure if this part happened yet, but my guess is it will.

Spring training ‘likely' to be delayed by MLB lockout, insiders say [bLOCKQUOTE]You could see this coming from a mile away. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports “Spring training likely to be delayed as Tuesday negotiations go nowhere.” [/bLOCKQUOTE] NJ.com: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2022/02/mlb-spring-training-likely-to-be-delayed-insider-says.htmlhttps://www.nj.com/yankees/2022/02/mlb-spring-training-likely-to-be-delayed-insider-says.html

Has anyone heard a peep or two about anything going on with this? I just scrolled like a dozen pages of Google News App Sports and there isn't one baseball related story.

I'll lay 3 to 5 odds he'll never change hairstyles (or wigs, if case may be). I really don't care if Pete gets in or not at at this point. I was just attempting humor with the advertising gig thing up above.
-
I imagine all the parks in states with legalized gambling will have something in place by Opening Day. I didn't look up if Ohio is legalized yet, but if it is it would damn funny if Pete Rose got a sweet advertising gig promoting some betting parlor at Great American Ballpark.

Squirrels; rodents with a good public relations department.

Sad stuff. RIP.

Some are talking about Clayton Kershaw.

Didn't this come up in another thread and everyone was like NO? Maybe I'm conflating it with another discussion elsewhere. -

No, no, no and no. -
Sucky news, best to Jeff and his family. Break out the kahnfidence cards! [FIMG=650]https://thecranepool.net/images/inniskahn.png[/FIMG]

No Pettitte? I demand a recount! Congrats to Big Papi.

Fair enough, but the gambling advertising versus lottery advertising ratio is about 1,000 to one. We'll see what happens over the next few years but I think this inundated brainwashing is gonna bite a lot of people square in the ass. I don't have grandchildren, but I certainly wouldn't want my 7 year old to watch a Knicks game with me and start asking questions about getting some action. "Want yo' money, git yo' money!" Please.

I have nothing against legalized gambling. I do have a problem with the incessant advertising that seems to have exploded overnight and the two-dozen betting shows on all the sports stations. And it's part of the pre-game shows. And it's part of the post game shows. It became part of the coverage in the blink of an eye. I don't think the ads are a good message for all to see. At least not any better than running a clever cigarette ad, or an ad suggesting that drink- ing a certain whiskey will get you lucky with ladies or such. Both of which are banned at the present time. The $1,000 risk-free-bet-slant tease has to go too. Risk free bet? Really.

Right, I guess. And if I'm going to rant I should proofread better too. I meant, "I'm certainly not going to go see scabs play for pennies on the dollar."

Edgy MD wrote: Well, if it cuts salaries by 95% or so, they don't have to sell it very far. This makes zero sense. I go to very few games now as it is, I'm certainly going to go see scabs play for pennies on the dollar. Sell it very far to who? The reluctant owners? The front office staffs? The scabs?
