Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: World Series '22
The Phillies went from the most HRs in a World Series game to being no hit the next day. No other sports is as unpredictable as baseball. That’s why we watch and play.
I remember my team which was a 13u rec team played an Oak Park team. We walloped them 10-3 the first game. We had played over .500 on the season and even beat a travel team.
We faced them 3 weeks later and were cocky. Unfortunately, several of my teammates made anti Semitic and anti Black comments at the start of the game. About 80% of their team was either Black or Jewish. It fired them up. Their bats woke up in the rematch and they beat us 8-4.

Re: World Series '22
Back on topic….
I am so happy for Dusty. He was maligned in Chicago with the Cubs, Cincinnati, and San Francisco. They said he was holding teams back, but I think the way he managed the bullpen speaks for itself. And hats off to Jeremy Peña on MVP! First rookie position player to win it. What a night to showcase baseball!

Re: World Series '22
The Yankees and Red Sox were sign stealing and also unfairly monitoring visiting teams back in 2017.. No one talks about them because they are the sacred cow big market teams. It’s amazing how that works. There’s not a team that doesn’t cheat in baseball. Every team steals signs. Why else do catchers walk out to the mound and change them?
As someone with playing experience, most of the pitchers I faced had a fastball and a change up, rarely using a change up. I knew the one kid who threw 70-75 against us in high school only threw fastballs. It didn’t mean we mustered up a single hit against him when he no hit us. You have to account for movement and location. That’s why guys like Ryan Pressly and JV stay in the league. He makes the ball dance. Hitters cannot read the ball as easily if the seams move irregularly.

Re: World Series '22
The part that cracks me up is that Houston somehow comes across as sort of being a small-market team. When they’re bigger than Boston. Fourth-largest city in the country. But yeah, I know what you are saying. That Boston-NewYork East Coast I-95 thing just overwhelms everything else at times.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 6:07 amThe Yankees and Red Sox were sign stealing and also unfairly monitoring visiting teams back in 2017..

Re: World Series '22
Another east coast bias thing that kills me, in a completely different sport, is the New York Knicks. They’ve been absolute garbage for 20 years, haven’t won a championship since Nixon was President, and MSG is a dump. I’ve been there, it’s a complete dump. And yet every Christmas the NBA trots them out as one of the featured games, as if anyone west of the Hudson gives two shits about them. As Norm MacDonald used to say, “Happy Birthday, Jesus, I hope you like crap.”MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 8:53 pmYep.

It was “modernized”, but it’s like a 50-year old mall that threw down some carpet and new light fixtures. It’s better than nothing, but not by much.
There’s a fair amount of speculation that the arena will have to go away. Penn Station is in even worse shape and needs a significant renovation. It’ll be nearly impossible to accomplish that with the arena sitting on top of it.
I doubt it will happen for 10 years, but eventually the political machine will force a move to a newly built arena, probably on west side of Manhattan.

Touché. I can’t really argue with that.
I guess, for me, the Lions tradition is so old that I really do consider it a Detroit specific tradition. The NBA Christmas Day games is not really supposed to be only one venue. There were some years in the 90’s and 00’s in which they only played one or two games total. Now they have 5 games, with supposedly good teams. But often fail in that regard.
