  1. I'm not going to claim exhaustive knowledge of the process, but my mental model is that they aren't reviewing every audio clip they have each year. If that's the case, then they definitely screwed up more than what I was picturing, but the fact that they've got that in there at all(a 20 year old song with that title) is probably an indicator that whatever list they're pulling from wasn't being reviewed with much scrutiny, if at all. I don't claim to know the actual process they're using either. But I do know that they've got to make sure that all the music they play is licensed, so they have to know what the songs are called. I assume that they have an approval process that would at least include reading the titles of the songs. But I can't imagine a baseball stadium wouldn't also scrutinize the music to, for example, make sure they're not playing F bombs between innings. This is less scrutiny than that. It's hard to believe that someone didn't know what they were doing playing this song.
  2. No matter what portion is heard, a song with that title should never intentionally be played during a baseball game (other than the intern protest scenario). Not arguing otherwise, only pointing out how it could happen, especially since 10, even 5 years ago there wouldn't have been the same response to the same clip being played. I haven't been to Wrigley in a long time but I can't imagine they're that careless. Something as blatant as smack my bitch up can't be on the approved playlist. They would have to intentionally select every song to make sure it's cleared to be played under their performance licenses anyway, so the title can't really sneak by.
  3. You can hate two things oh I hate a [expletive] of things. But I'll always hate the Mets more than any other baseball team.
  4. I'm skeptical that the title portion was actually played(it'd be very easy to have a ballpark sized portion of that song without any of the 'lyrics'). They're still responsible for the output(even without the lyrics people are gonna recognize the song), but if you've got a playlist of 100 between innings songs set to cycle through or something(especially if they might not be labeled by title), it's a lot easier to see how that ignorance could happen. No matter what portion is heard, a song with that title should never intentionally be played during a baseball game (other than the intern protest scenario).
  5. I hope this was some intern protesting, in which case, it's awesome. Otherwise, as Trump would say, Bad!
  6. My order of preference: Miami Colorado Pittsburgh Dodgers Mets Cardinals Flip the last two. Always hate the Mets.
  7. and starting ARod at SS, 3rd, or whatever, for a couple innings isn't going to change horsefeathers
  8. Joe looks like an horsefeathers, imo.
  9. Pretty sure he's saying Funyuns.
  10. At this point, guys like Collmenter should pay the Cubs for the chance to work with Bosio for a couple days and hope to get a chance to ride this train into October and resurrect their careers.
  11. "Don't suck or I'll only get 2 ABs" is awesome
  12. Not enough [glow=red]BIG[/glow]
  13. any confirmation of the reports that Rondon hurt himself lifting the BIG hot ham and cheese?
  14. Hot ham and cheese are delicious. I've never partaken of a steamer of any variety. But hot ham and cheese is the bees knees
  15. By those I mean hot ham and cheese
  16. That would make sense if a Cleveland steamer were a sex move where you drove your gf to Cleveland and had sex in a sauna. Why do you give a horsefeathers about the literal description of the sandwich? Also those are delicious
  17. he has every right to be pissed, but these are the rules of baseball. the cubs should start fining him.
  18. definitely a better recipe than whatever they make their horsefeathering burgers out of.
  19. Nice of Lackey to provide a reflective surface to brighten up the shot
  20. Can you imagine if Javy took this long to report to the minors? I have to think the media reports would be a touch more critical.
  21. You're Tommy horsefeathering La Stella. Show up in dsm already.
  22. He's wrong, but this is still better than if he had come out 13 years later and said he blamed dusty for his injuries which would have been a bigger, terrible story.
  23. surely he had no options remaining at this point And we don't know what his contract said. There was twitter buzz yesterday that they called him up because of contract obligations. It may have been a minimum number of starts by a certain date, or they'd release him. And I don't think anyone wanted to see another start from him. During the broadcast, espn said he had to be recalled by today or granted FA.
  24. that's soooo 2015
