I don't know what the QT commercial is but I am so damn sick of Chuck GPT that I'll happily find out And thank goodness we won, I'm really not in the mood for White Hector Neris all year -
I watched an inning of Rockies vs Rays today and in that time Kris Bryant struck out on 3 pitches directly after consecutive hits, and Chris Morel hilariously misplayed a double off the wall in left field

Suarez will be in a nursing home 50 years from now drinking his lunch through a straw and still taking the Cubs deep
-
The 2 and 3 starters both giving up lasers all over the yard doesn't inspire confidence
-
I think Shota is pitching Saturday.

I'm just glad there's real don't-have-to-be-up-before-dawn-to-watch-it baseball again. Let's win some games.

Dodgers (Sasaki) vs Cubs (Steele): 3/19/25, 5:10am
Andy replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Their TV deal happening to come up at the height of the cable bubble, and them signing a 20-year deal for next-level stupid money when in theory such a length for any media rights deal is insane and ridiculous, was a really impactful moment. -
Anyone Up? 3/18 Opening Day in Tokyo
Andy replied to Outshined_One's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
My local FOX inexplicably decided not to air this game, but given the performance I guess I should be thankful. -

I didn't care for him last year. I'll be putting the Pat and Ron track on MLB.TV whenever he's on, though in fairness I would've likely done that even if I thought he was fine.
-
YTTV and Paramount have already reached a deal, CBS isn't going anywhere. I was keeping an eye on that too because recording Jeopardy is an embarrassingly large part of why I still have the service.
-
That's a terrific quote, but I got a laugh out of him joking that he wasn't gonna help any of his teammates adjust to Tokyo during the series so they'd know how he felt last year.
-
My experience with these things is that it usually doesn't become public until really shortly before the deadline.
-
He did have a couple really nice swings. His second hit he really went down and got a low pitch and hit it hard.

I feel like Bregman is just the straw that broke the camel's back for some of these guys, which I can appreciate. Personally, I'm cool not paying Bregman $40M per year when he's already in offensive decline, but the general look of having a significantly lower payroll than the past 2 years is bad. The fact that it seems designed to minimize money on the books in anticipation of a lockout after the '26 season is another annoying factor. To cross sports, it reminds me of when Jerry Richardson basically threw away the Panthers' 2010 season prior to the summer 2011 NFL lockout because he didn't want any money on the books.

It's not a double edged sword for owners. Attaching the penalties means they can justify not offering those free agents as much money under the guise of "protecting the future." There's a reason they want it and players don't.

KC Johnson just reported the 2nd year of the deal is a team option, which makes it a little more understandable.
-
I mean it's pretty damn obvious why Lonzo would want to. It's less clear why the Bulls would unless they feel really really good about him being able to play real minutes at some point. It's great that he's good for 20ish minutes a game now, but the utility of that is limited.

If OSU's staff was going to be raided to this extent I wish it'd have happened before Notre Dame played them for the national title
-
And he would never have noticed the relative pittance of a handful of million dollars per year it would've taken to maintain that goodwill, or at least lessen the decline. But as we know, the truly wealthy don't really give a horsefeathers if us paeans like them, or else they wouldn't be as wealthy.
-
What I last saw was that Kellen Moore will be getting it. Currently Eagles OC.
-
Between that and ponying up to keep all the stars from going pro, it definitely shapes up as a 'no excuses' type season for James Franklin. Not that he needs excuses - getting to the semifinals is an unqualified really good season - but they seem all in on 2025.
-
I mostly agree with you and wouldn't have sent the house, but there were few good options available. Ohio State was going to throw it to a stud receiver and I think ND knew it so just tried to force a mistake. Aso worth noting that Will Howard converted several first downs on scrambles in the game and ND's front four (which consisted of 3 backups due to injuries and a guy who's been on a bad wheel all season) wasn't getting any push at all.

Atlanta Braves 2021 Arizona Diamondbacks 2023 The unstoppable titan LA Dodgers were down 2-1 in a best of 5 playoff series 3 freaking months ago It really doesn't matter if you think you see the Cubs going to the World Series (I don't either). Baseball has created a complete crapshoot postseason where if you get in the playoffs you have a legitimate chance.

Angeli will likely be competing with Carr (Kenny Minchey could be in there too but seems like the odd man out), but I think if Carr loses that battle that's a bad sign. Angeli is a very good QB in the Tommy Rees/Ian Book mold and with the talent ND will have on offense he could win 10 games, but he's not seriously competing for a title, while Carr has much more ability. (And similar to what I said about Leonard, Angeli probably saved the season vs Penn State, so I will never take a shot at him, just calling it as I see it.)
