how much money could the owners possibly lose this year, if they ended up paying the players for 50% of their salaries? maybe they could apply for some of those small business aid grants...

i'd fall over laughing after he ineptly, gracelessly lobbed it fifty feet, many of them in the wrong direction. the giggling would not end for days. weeks, even.

now imagine a long, high fly ball being hit deep into the stands, right smack down between two sets of social-distancers...

i know it's a quaint tradition and all, but man, i hate not having a say over which people get to touch my wiener.

i've twice run through it as part of a disneyland half marathon. otherwise, i ain't got shit.

damnit, how can i root for the Wiz if they're not in the opening round of game airings? what are you trying to hide, espn!

if i pick the wiz, i can root for mel rojas again.

all sports abuse the body at risk of future long-term damage for short term gains. while i don't entirely disagree with the underlying premise, there is a clear difference between working within the framework provided, with medically acceptable and legal treatments, and with those that are not. if everything was legal, i suppose there would be no problem. if nothing was legal, i guess there would be no problem either, maybe. when some things are legal and others are not, you get punished for doing the illegal things. if everything legal is really so bad, and so advantageous, then there would be no reason to take the illegal stuff, would there? if you take the illegal stuff, no matter how similar you may think it is to the legal stuff, no matter how much worse you thing the legal stuff is, you can yell all you want that it shouldn't be against the law, but you do not have the ability to claim that you broke no law.

so, your evidence is that he existed? ok. sure. good enough for me.

and that evidence was...?

there was evidence against jeter...?

to my knowledge, there are no allegations against schilling for being a user. maybe i'm wrong, or misremember. assholes and racists have always been allowed into the hall. the voters have sometimes not liked voting for them, but being an asshole is not the reason that bonds is getting blockaded. the character clause being invoked is a new thing in the steroid age. show me the actual historical precedent.
-
there's really no reason not to put schilling in the hall. he has shitty opinions, and has done shitty things since he's retired, but who the fuck cares. it's not the hall of peacably-retired, progressive minds. what he did on the field merits inclusion. also worthy of inclusion in 2021 are rolen, helton, and andruw jones. i still believe there's an argument to be made in favor of bonds and clemens, or at least i think there's still a discussion to be had. whether or not it changes any opinions is another matter entirely. personally, i have an easier time putting those two in than sosa and many others, as it's clear their greatness was established before they started using, or at least before it is collectively understood that they started using. i'm not entirely sure that i'm ready to see either of them in the hall, mind you, but i can understand the arguments for it.

oh, i fully support any measure that makes it easier to tell if a home run is really a home run. and handrails directly over walls runs afoul of that imperative. here's an interesting thought: expanding the outfield fan area to extend over the loading docks behind left field, so that there's more room for various activities/food/shops back there during the game. and of course, having a video wall with a live feed of SNY so you can keep track of what's happening while you're out of your seats.

great. so i also need to be the head of the mlbpa. another hat to wear!

in a world where team expenses and revenues are more openly available figures, it would be more readily implementable. unfortunately, i have a hard time thinking the players would agree to take less money when there's no guarantee that the owners are taking the same financial hit. and i really don't trust that the teams would be terribly open to both teh amount of money they have coming in, and how much they really need to have going out.
-
here's a proposal. maybe scale the players salaries and owner profits proportionally to league profits. maybe make the hits bigger on the higher paid players thna on the lower end. like, maybe the league minimum player still gets half his salary, but guys at the top get 25%, and the owner's profit gets cut down to like 10%. some shit like that. the league will be healthier if the better-paid players take a salary hit, and if the owners take a profit hit, than it would be to skip a season outright. imo.

i watched iron man last night. it was there. you had to wait for tony stark to get ambushed and captured first.
