  1. These ARE their actual uniforms, just in a homogenous color scheme. So much better than past years
  2. I was thinking a trip to Sulley’s gulag
  3. That was the first out that Wick has recorded in this series
  4. Why is Wick still on this team?
  5. Their version of our Wrigleyville uniforms. The vast majority of them, like San Diego's, are at best unnecessary and at worst an affront to good taste Someone got paid a lot of money to buy some Hypercolor shirts and iron on some numbers
  6. Reds with the ultra rare “balk off” win
  7. We’ll always have the ‘16 NLCS
  8. Bryant is OPSing 1.045 since coming off the IL
  9. What are these Padres uniforms?
  10. No surgery for Hendricks, but he’s going to be out for awhile. Enjoy your Leiter Jr. starts!
  11. It's unfortunate that the trade deadline has fallen into the predictable pattern of "good teams buy, bad teams sell." If the Cubs are serious about competing as early as next year, they should be buying, not selling. Trading of Contreras or Happ or whoever for lottery tickets or A-ball prospects signals the window not opening for several seasons
  12. Blackhawks love trading away young players
  13. Dach traded to Montreal
  14. We already have an offseason mega-thread: viewtopic.php?f=44&t=4181
  15. Derwood, name one nfl stadium that doesnt host any big events that arent football related i'll give you eternity to find one You're quibbling with the semantics of cookie-cutter/multi-use. Fine. My point is that many owners want their own version of the SuperDome
  16. No, not every stadium is built for that. You aren't hosting a Final Four in an open-air stadium (which is most of them)
  17. Met Life is for all intents and purposes the vet or three rivers or the stadium it replaced: all three of those stadiums were concepted as NFL stadiums. a true multi-purpose stadium (such as Minneapolis's old Metrodome which was designed for the Vikings, Twins, and Gophers) hasn't been built in decades. A soccer team playing in an NFL stadium isnt close to the same thing...in fact I bet outside of the Sounders, there isn't an MLS team that doesn't want its own soccer-specific stadium, most nfl stadiums are too big. new nfl stadiums are developed with heaps of supporting amenities surrounding the stadium, Soldier Field doesnt have the surrounding area for that unless the city wants to buy the surrounding blocks to make it happen The new "multi-purpose" stadium concept is a venue that is primarily used for football, but has a dome/retractable roof so that it can also host Wrestlemania or the Final Four or the NBA draft or whatever. Teams with fairly new stadiums (or remodels, like Cleveland and Chicago) are now enamored with spending millions on either new stadiums or retrofitting their current stadiums just to host the occasional indoor marquee event.
  18. From #1 overall pick to being traded for a conditional 5th. And replaced by a guy who is probably going to be suspended for the season. Oof
  19. Remember when we demolished all the cookie cutter, multi-use stadiums? Now owners are tripping over themselves to go back to them for the hopes that they might get one Super Bowl or Final Four every 15 years
  20. Joey Gallo will be 29 next year and has amassed 14.2 fWAR in 8+ seasons. And he’s god awful this year.
  21. Should've sent Simmons.
  22. How does Simmons not score on that?
