  1. you beat me to it. sidenote, I saw a guy wearing a heynong man shirt at the USWNT game in Nashville this weekend and called out Heynong Man. He was confused for a moment then started cracking up.
  2. Heydong makes the most logical sense. Heydong man
  3. I dunno, the instant dislike of it almost kinda makes me want it to be a thing. NOBODY ASKED YOU, BRANDON brandon wants to take over kyle's role as the class contrarian
  4. I don't baseball supplanting the popularity of the NFL any time soon. Most people don't care about football players getting concussions. At least not enough to stop watching football. Probably not in the very near term, but if the NFL doesn't do something substantive about player safety, it's going to bite them hard before long. It's becoming a more visible issue, players are expressing regrets over choosing the wrong sport, and we may well see the tide turn when it comes to athletes choosing football before baseball. There's a long way to go before we can talk about MLB supplanting the NFL, but it's entirely possible we've reached the zenith of football's popularity. I think the concern about safety is a facade more than anything. Many of the same people who whine about the NFL also actively support UFC type events which are far worse for your health. Baseball is still slow and lacks flash. When I was a kid, long before the concussion issue, there were plenty of parents that didn't allow talented kids to play football but it just opened up spots for other kids. The bigger threat to participation may be a growing Tea Party hacking apart public school budgets and making it impossible for high schools to field teams.

  9. way ahead of ya He says, in response to a 3.5 hour old post.
  10. That's actually exactly why I prefer not to do it. This is mind boggling. If you can't see the tweet you can't see what the response refers to.
  11. Entered. Thread titled "Jason Heyward just gave a pitch a heyride." http://i.imgur.com/XujHL.gif?noredirect look at this discerning young gentleman
  12. Alshon signed his franchise tender [tweet] [/tweet]
  13. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-batting-order-versatile-spt-0308-20160307-story.html Does it really matter how we organize our order? Kris down, Schwarbs up, that's the way I like to slug
  14. have to set the arbitrary line somewhere if this were a more active board, MAYBE you set it at 10 Nah, we don't really have to set a line somewhere if we have a Spring Training megathread. harumph
  15. Well that's a conveniently arbitrary rule. have to set the arbitrary line somewhere if this were a more active board, MAYBE you set it at 10 that's weird. the active topics are filled with threads that have 12, 25, 90+ replies. Where are all these 4-5 reply threads that were worth creating?
  16. i didn't say you were doing it wrong i said let's do it the old way i still see nothing wrong with this if something is likely to get more than 4-5 replies, it's worthy of a thread. down with megathreads. what is this old way you speak of it's never worked
  17. It just strikes me as #firstworldproblems complaining. People bitch up a storm that college football games aren't scheduled at the most convenient possible time, but don't care that the title game ends past midnight on a Monday, killing kids' ability to see the game. Not that I'm doing a "but think of the children!" thing, but the point is there was no perfect way to schedule those games, at least not once the SEC and Big 12 teamed up for their silly Sugar Bowl deal to lock in the NYD time slot. any time other than new years eve was closer to perfect
  18. is this peralta guy somebody important?
