  1. *updates GhostMachine notebook of things he likes and dislikes*
  2. In a recruiting world where you can give kids millions of dollars, cars, and homes, Harbaugh still finds a way to break the rules. What a Michigan man. 😆
  3. I'm with Srar. I honestly think there is nothing wrong with Washington Football Team. You know whatever those corny-ass, old, white men come up with is going to be just as lame as Commanders. Also GhostMachine suggesting they go back to the racist imagery makes me ashamed to call him a Yankee fan.
  4. If you take Max out of this race, it was a blast.
  5. And their cheerleaders should all be grandmothers playing Bingo.
  6. I hate it, but it's much less noticeable than a lot of other teams, at least?
  7. Lemme introduce you to our current captain and the one before him! I think the earliest one I can remember without looking it up is Eric Duncan. That was in high school, so 2001-2003? It was the first year I paid any attention to the draft, and I only knew who we took because of a fantasy baseball magazine that recapped the first round of the amateur draft and I studied it like nobodies business. The article was convinced he was going to be a stud, and thus, so was I.
  8. I don't think casuals, even a lot of diehards, could name their favorite teams first round pick from last year. People, including the media, try to draw parallels to the NFL draft and it's such an entirely different beast. People carry over that "These guys will surely help us now!" mindset from the NFL Draft that they can't wrap their minds around not seeing these guys for four, five, or six years if at all. And you're spot on about positions. All these kids play shortstop or center in high school, just like pretty much every current MLB player did at that age.
  9. Bummed for Nyck, but he's definitely had a rough first half. I thought they'd give him until at least summer break, but with them dead last in the Constructors, they need to start finding points immediately. I am very interested to see what Ricciardo has left in him.
  10. They made out fine. The safety car did keep Piastri off the podium though. Loved seeing Lando up front though. It was fun while that lasted.
  11. If the powers-that-be of other sports has taught me anything, it's that, apparently, more is more.
  12. Wrestling names are getting more ridiculous every year.
  13. Yes, doing something that's only been done twenty-three other times is still impressive. I've watched a little over zero minutes of the Mets this year, but most of the talk within this thread has been your criticism of Buck, so I've assumed it's been his managing for the most part that's put the Mets in the situation they're in. That's why I was suggesting giving him the Girardi treatment. Regardless of how many games they won last year, they're supposed to be in win-now mode, much like the Phillies were.
  14. I mean, the Phillies fired Giardi before midseason last year and completely flipped the script and ended up in the World Series, but a wealthy Mets fan still gonna let the Mets Met.
  15. Back to Toro Rosso? I'm curious who they're considering to replace of De Vries. Riccardo's name keeps getting mentioned (by the media, that is) as a potential replacement for Checo, but I think Yuki would be more likely than Daniel at this point in their careers. I don't keep up with F2 enough to know who the up-and-comer of the year is, but I wonder if sitting out the first half of this season has humbled Danny Ric enough that he'd consider taking on a senior role with AlphaTauroRosso.
  16. I don't think he'd be calling a presser to fire Buck. I think he'd would've just done it already.
  17. It happens when you've built a pitching staff where 60% of your starting rotation is closer to AARP-eligibility than the legal drinking age.
  18. All five AL East teams are at least four games over .500 and the very best AL Central team is two games under .500.
  19. Which of us should get the petition going to ban the American League Central from the post-season? Everyone knew that division sucked butts, but geez. They should blast all five teams off into the sun.
  20. I've had that on my Steam wishlist for almost two years now. They've promised that a demo is coming, but if I'm not mistaken, they said the same thing last summer only to change their minds and re-did everything after poor reviews from their beta testers. This time I'm going to have to see it out for the public before getting too excited about it. Nevermind, the demo is out now, so I stand corrected. It's still on my wishlist but I'll be damned if Steam ever let me know the demo is available.
  21. Must be a Canadian thing. It explains why the CFL has bizarre rules as well!
  22. Especially now that the pitch clock has helped make the games go quicker. It's a silly rule to keep around.
  23. The Yanks lose in yet another bullshit extra inning game. The ghost runner rule continues to be the dumbest recent rule change in sports. One hit. Game over. Dumb.
