the fabric is like 95% of the jersey, so? Plus block numbers are hideous. not all the fabric is that weird optical illusion. they should use that as an accent on the tops in the way that they do with the shorts

ties are stupid. it's not a sport if there is no clear winner

the patterned fabric is goofy, but everything else is pretty rad. not sure what all the hate is about

if i knew the guy who covered himself while his daughter almost got brained by a baseball, i would lay into him mercilessly with the fiery passion of a thousand suns

interesting. why would the sox move?

i am enjoying the current run as much as anyone, but we are setting ourselves up for disappointment if we expect anything resembling good play/results against the cardinals. what the [expletive]? you're awful. He's not wrong. I would eat a shoe if the Cubs beat the Cardinals in a playoff series this year. i don't need more reasons to want the cubs to beat the cardinals in the playoffs this year, but hell why not you don't need to eat the whole thing, but you will definitely need to provide video evidence that you chewed and swallowed a portion of the shoe, as to be determined by the board. i will be the deciding vote in the event of a tie

being close to the interstate doesn't necessarily make it easy or convenient for the large majority of the population to get to. i agree that the main problem is that the stadium is awful, but i think you still have issues drawing at that location even with a super-family friendly, modern ballpark I don't know how you could make stadium access any easier short of having an exit go directly into a parking lot. If Tampa residents don't like its location, it's only because it's not actually in Tampa, which is just sour grapes and laziness and goes back to the Florida fan mentality. I've actually heard a Rays fan complain that if they call themselves the Tampa Bay Rays, they should play in Tampa. I hate that argument, because Tropicana Field is literally like 10 blocks away from Tampa Bay. Tampa isn't even on Tampa Bay, it's on Hillsborough Bay. While I tend to agree having a stadium in Tampa would do better for attendance solely because of a larger concentrated population in the area, I think its current location is only a burden on Tampa residents because they're [expletive] fans about it. If you truly love a team, you won't let a super easy 30 minute drive to the stadium get in your way of supporting them. it's a super easy 30 minute drive with no one else on the road, most definitely not during rush hour from downtown and certainly not from the areas with the greatest population density. the point of the team being in tampa is that it's central to the entire metro, rather than at one extreme. this is particularly important when you consider that the population of the area has grown remarkably since the rays came into the league, yet the attendance numbers don't reflect this influx of new potential customers. one of the main reasons is because the growth has occured in areas like brandon and new tampa/pebble creek, which are close to an hour's drive from tropicana w/no traffic i'm not in the business of defending any floridians, ever. believe me. but to argue that the stadium "couldn't be easier to get to" and that location isn't an issue is downright silly. it's a legitimate gripe

2-3x was a lazy exaggeration, but 2.5 to 3 mil would be very getable in the good years

i mean, a lot of professional golfers at the top level are privileged divas who will literally complain about anything, but i wouldn't wish that course on my worst enemy. i'd honestly be surprised if the us open returned there

the rays want to move to tampa, instead of the diseased tip of st pete's. as much as i want that team to move to montreal, they would easily draw 2-3x the people if they were near, say, where the bucs play

haha

i don't think that's meatballing, it's a legit complaint. 3/4 majors this year are at links courses

i think he kind of looks like the less-talkative mcpoyle twin in that pic http://www.revolvermag.com/wp-content/gallery/ironreagantop5/mcpoyle.jpg

lmao can you imagine the poor computer that had to parse all of kyle's posts 100 years from now, this event will be universally recognized as the singularity, when a machine first felt the human emotion of sadness. or more precisely, pity

maybe you're right, but since i didn't see the post as being mean-spirited or implying a prejudice of some sort, it didn't elicit the same reaction

oh he's already throwing it in, buddy

are you actually saying that the CBA changes didn't impact the subsequent decisions made by this front office?

i don't think handicapped is the proper nomenclature

also, don't bring up sosa because he played for zero of our rivals

the video doesn't actually seem that far off. he's more upright in the video and doesn't have the follow-through that results from a full delivery, but it's definitely more than just a guy playing catch. my guess is he's warming up prior to the start of a game or between innings. another clue that it's not a live pitch is the position of the shortstop

the "let's run raanta out there" argument from tim here is just a 2015 version of "marty turco will be great with this defense in front of him" the skill level that crawford has displayed in the playoffs, particularly on the cup runs, is something no sane person trades away because of a couple hundred thou in overpay that's not to say that you don't listen to offers when there's an opportunity to sell high, but you don't really entertain them unless you're extremely confident you have an option that is as good or better. as of 6/15/2015, that is not true of the hawks

i actually kind of thought this last night too

no
