A Boy Named Seo

City Connect year two is underway and the Nats (IMO) hit a leadoff homer with this excellent cherry blossom range. It ticks my boxes as it's wildly creative, a huge departure from their normal logo set and colors, and evokes something that is uniquely regional. I dig the soft charcoal outlines of flowers on the gray shirt, too. The big block "W" and the "WSH" are just ok, but they seem to recall the Senators so it works for me. https://news.sportslogos.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/washington-nationals-2022-city-connect-uniforms-new-nike-pink-cherry-blossom-wsh-grey-sportslogosnet-feat-1-sq.jpg> We have to wait one more year for the Mets: For the 2022 season, seven new teams are joining the seven already on board from last season. These seven new clubs are the Colorado Rockies, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, and Washington Nationals. These seven join the Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, and San Francisco Giants. They kicked off the inaugural campaign a year ago. Last year's for those that need a refresher: https://news.sportslogos.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/2021-mlb-city-connect-uniforms-jerseys-nike-all-teams-giants-red-sox-dodgers-marlins-dbacks-serpientes-southside-wrigleyville-white-sox-cubs-dodgers.jpg> https://news.sportslogos.net/2022/03/29/mlb-nike-announce-the-seven-teams-getting-new-city-connect-uniforms-in-2022/baseball/https://news.sportslogos.net/2022/03/29/mlb-nike-announce-the-seven-teams-getting-new-city-connect-uniforms-in-2022/baseball/

Reason number 69,420 why knowing anything about the personal lives of ballplayers will result in heartbreak.

I can't stop thinking about this. I know they used like 5 or 6 very sturdy straps to hold this expensive statue in place on this trailer, but that thing looks like it would topple on the gentlest of left- or right-hand turns.

=bmfc1 post_id=87587 time=1648135456 user_id=73] How about the 4th at 9 PM?

I love they rented a $19 u-haul truck and trailer but didn't pony up the extra $12 for the blankets to cover the statue.

=TransMonk post_id=87594 time=1648137985 user_id=71] I remember when they added he New Era logo to the side of the caps it was premiered in the playoffs.

I guess that's good, but what an awful time to debut them.

The 5th is the only bad day for me. I can make any of the times work.

I don't have enough money to overbid so I'll be like a kid in a dollar store looking for discounted stuff that's been returned.

I have done my three and a half minutes of research LETS DO THIS

Nimmo was right! A lot can, in fact, happen in 3 weeks.

That Wednesday's shit for me, I won't be able to do it. BUT I SHALL STILL WIN THE LEAGUE EVEN WITH A BUNCH OF AUTO DRAFT STIFFS MARK MY WORDS

I can watch the Pirates. On my regular Comcast feed; no jumping through hoops or paying extra for Nee York ads The cart boy at my supermarket is beyond a Pirates/Steelers fan. Icould talk to him at least once a week about our team. The Mets don't care if I watch them. They made that clear when they bought their own channel and made it exclusive to NYC cable outlets and blacked out anybody close enough to drive six hours to a game on other outlets such as ESPN.. gee I could eat at a Rte 80 Denny's and watch the Mets all in one day. And not have dad with me. Woo haa. I miss baseball. I've waited numerous years for the Mets to give me a reason to love them. None. No TV love, no extra season love(not that I'd stay up til 1am anyway) Give me reasons to love the Mets in 2022 That's shit. I feel for you. I'm very long drives away from both Phoenix and Denver (~7 hours to each), but I'm blacked out from watching either of those teams. If either of those were "my team", I suspect I'd spend a lot more time at the AAA ballpark. Go see the Mets when the visit Pittsburgh and make a giant sign that says "I DROVE 6 HOURS TO WATCH THE METS BECAUSE I'M BLACKED OUT AT HOME".

From that group, three players (Scherzer, Jeff McNeil and Robinson Cano) said they were vaccinated. Four others (Nimmo, Pete Alonso, Dominic Smith and J.D. Davis) declined to answer. Great. This is going to affect Alonso as well. I'd like to say I'm sorry to Jeff McNeil for assuming he was a shitty anti-vaxxer. I'm going to put the work in to be a better me, and be more accepting of all viewpoints (except shitty anti-vaxxers) on this journey of internet personal growth I'm about to embark on. I will donate the five crane bucks I brazenly waved around on this forum to RFK Jr. or some shit. So sorry, Squirrel. 💙🧡 Love and Light, ABNS

I pledge to finish 7th again this year in Yahoo.

The new PCL logo is gorgeous https://ballparkdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/PCL-2022.jpg>

Were they both off Max?

Yeah, at least the guy I saw a few days ago walking around with a t-shirt proudly proclaiming that he was 'UN-VAXXED, UN-MASKED, AND UN-APOLOGETIC' was more honest. Your t-shirt guy is also a dipshit.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I would love to know which Mets players are potentially affected by this. (And I hope we won't have to find out.) Let's say it's five players. Does that mean that the Mets will effectively have a 21-man roster for every game they play in New York City? That's untenable. And what if it's eight players? Or twelve? What could the Mets possibly do, other than a quick overhaul of the roster. Someone like JD Davis can be disposed of easily enough. James McCann less so, because of the position he plays. And Brandon Nimmo? I really don't know. I have so many thoughts. -If the article from the Post you linked to earlier is correct, then it is about half the guys like Fman said. I'm guessing that's players on the 40 at any given moment from last year? I would love clarification on that. -The article says "both teams are aware", but I'm hoping the Mets have planned for this? This can't have been a surprise given the Nets situation. -With so many 2021 guys not returning, my hope is that some of those guys were the hardest-headed anti-vaxxers. That would be smart, right? Right?? -If there are any steadfast no-poke dudes left, the Mets have to be shopping them hard, right? Missing 82 games BECAUSE FREEDOM won't help the team win, will piss off some teammates, and even the Trumpiest of Mets fans will eventually get mad if the losses pile up because selfishness is really at the core of all of this. For all the star power on the Nets, they're a just-above .500 basketball team with a losing record at home.

=kcmets post_id=87092 time=1647373160 user_id=53] Oh that problem! I was thinking of the other Kyrie problems. We should have a pool, guess who the anti-vaxers are.

A good read from The Athletic about how the Sam McWilliams gamble went sideways last year when he caught a case of the dreaded yips... https://theathletic.com/3183485/2022/03/15/how-free-agent-pitcher-sam-mcwilliams-is-working-to-get-back-on-track-after-developing-the-yips-in-2021/https://theathletic.com/3183485/2022/03/15/how-free-agent-pitcher-sam-mcwilliams-is-working-to-get-back-on-track-after-developing-the-yips-in-2021/

Holy shit that's terrifying
