  1. My assumption is that there are more costs than we give credit for in running the team, so their break even point is probably well south of $300M. That being said there are two big caveats there: 1. They definitely pocketed a ton of money from 2012-2015, and haven't turned around and dipped back into that money. They'll point to the renovations but that leads to... 2. A lot of their costs are building up equity. So it's not *really* a loss even of it's not straight up liquid profit So ultimately. I don't *really* care about where that break even point is. They use this excuse so much, and it makes me blind with anger. This is your landlord telling you he can't fix your light bulb bc his mortgage payments are too high.
  2. Whatever, they would have missed the conversion, anyway
  3. Absolutely yes. I'm done on mobile
  4. Folded? Forget it, he's on a roll
  5. I don't really want to make too much fun of someone who's obviously having a manic episode, but I REALLY want TT to give this the Ken Tremendous treatment
  6. I "lose" my 5 iron all the time
  7. You must have missed Almora grading out as the 2nd-worst defensive CF in the NL last year. No, I think he's just hoping (assuming) the Mets did
  8. So, so bad. Was coming here to post this
  9. I cackled at this. Stupid Bregman is all embarrassed and contrite and Soto's like BFD, I did it 'cause. God I love him
  10. I love this take. I don't agree with it, but I love it
  11. It's worth going into the thread of the response tweet just for the WAG puns. I'm dying
  12. I feel the same about Zimmerman. He's an horsefeathers, but I'm still really happy for him
  13. God help me, I actually like this broadcast team tonight
  14. hahahahahaha this is perfect
  15. Ok well now I'm sold All we need to know about his position on analytics is that he hasn't had a job in 2 years. (I know I'm not saying anything that everyone here doesn't already know)
  16. Oof, you belong in the ground I think
  17. What if bench players had to be pre-arb/arb-eligible only? Would be more faithful to the traditional "wild card," as you'd need to dig deep instead of finding a bounceback guy already on a long-term deal due to their prior dong prowess.
  18. A Surprise Saguaro sounds quite painful
  19. Maybe it'll be a Rookie of the Year-type of situation. hahahaha my gf said the exact same thing yesterday
  20. The romance is found in the traditions such as the uniforms and the mascots and the songs. Romanticizing the sport because it is played by “student-athletes” was gone by the wayside long ago because everyone knows that the best players already get paid. The romance is not gone because kids get paid/cars, it's because the NCAA and individual schools make an insane amount of money off the kids' brands and they are pathetically compensated for it
  21. Definitely. Also, both the Cubs and Jim took a huge a heel turn in trying to shamelessly woo the MAGA crowd. Annnnd WSR continues to be wrong about everything. At least some things stay the same
  22. I want this. FIGHT FIGHT FI-oh
