I need this explained to me. Brewers announced a ticket presale for Wisconsin residents only.

I am so proud that this is catching on What does it mean? viewtopic.php?p=241303#p241303 Some of the most respected fans in baseball.

That or nobody cares. One of the two.

Odds that Jake is the one that says he'd rather stay home?

My 70yo aunt posts nothing but gifs on facebook. She also types in all caps.

Yup. I think some posters actually enjoy making new posts here just to disappoint people looking for legit Yu Darvish news. At this rate, this thread goes strong all the way up to spring training and maybe beyond... http://i.imgur.com/RpISari.gif

Yeah I could have sworn this happened like 2 months ago.

I don't know that it's necessarily propaganda, as much as it is that sports fans have a feeling of "ownership" in their team. Players come and go, but your team is your team...so a fan's natural interest is in the team's benefit. I agree that fans should side with the workers, but I completely understand why they don't generally. Maybe only the dogmatic are responding to my post, but there few fully righteous and few utterly irredeemable. Like someone posted before, this is something between millionaires and billionaires. It's not exactly Joe Hill. I can root for Darvish to sign with the Cubs on a contract representing good value for the team. Am I missing something? Is anybody reading this hoping Eloy Jiminez doesn't succeed so we win that trade? For the record I would only wish failure on someone trying to harm me. Other people's success doesn't reach that level. The players only hit free agency at peak value once, maybe twice if they're lucky. This is their one opportunity to maximize their value. Yes, they make millions...but their careers are also over in their mid-30's, typically. Meanwhile, the owners can make money on these teams for generations. Of course you want to get Darvish at a good value. We'll all be thrilled if we can get him at a lower price than expected. I can want the Cubs to get a bargain and also sympathize with a player trying to get the most of their free agent moment.

It's not "siding." It's understanding someone else's position. No. It’s years of propaganda. All fans should side with the workers.

out of curiosity, what do they call "indian style" these days? Crisscross apple sauce. Can confirm.

Replies are not going well for the Royals...

The Blackhawks definitely come up from time to time, and it's definitely worth lumping in with the rest. It's just that the name Redskins, or the logo of Chief Wahoo are so over the top racist that yeah...the Blackhawks get overlooked. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/06/blackhawks-redskins-name/396356/

I wonder if this puts any pressure on other teams...Redskins...Blackhawks....

Yeah that rumor doesn't even make any sense.

When I think of you, I always think "excessive subtlety"

None of which makes it a better tweet.
