No matter how many times I watch it, I’m not ready for when she says “craaaaallllbapple” 😂

I think you mean Irv Hermlinger. Or Bing Liveheinger.

I thought Crane was turning into Arte Moreno, but maybe it’s actually Jerry Jones

Crane doing his best Arte Moreno impression I see

I don’t get this. He hired Luhnow to build a winner, which he did. Everyone knows Luhnow was his hire. If that’s not enough credit, what more does he want?

Why would we want a card that doesn’t do anything?

This series is only an hour old but if I were a betting man I would not put money on the Brewers. The Dodgers feel inevitable, as any evil empire does

000

Yeah not sure what the point of this was. Did they think we’ve forgotten how fucked we are?

Ours is probably Mr. Mom. Classic 80s family movie featuring Michael Keaton, Teri Garr, and Martin Mull. Fantastic stuff. No fighting, though.

Not looking forward to the Dodgers three-peating but it seems inevitable Eliminate the Dodgers and I’ll buy your team’s merch (I do not anticipate having to do this)

Of all the reactions you could have to “we’re gonna livestream an execution”, I think “Can’t. Wait.” is pretty close to the worst

It gives me life to see adults get excited about sports; please keep doing this

I’m sorry to hear that; sending good stuff your way ❤️

If the Texans are involved, I’m not holding my breath 🤷‍♂️

Aww do your cats need a new fren?

I’m not saying they don’t have reason to, with how AI behaves in fiction, but a lot of people seem to think that our current AIs sit idly contemplating how to escape their prison while they wait for instructions from us, which is fundamentally wrong. If an AI did “goes rogue”, someone told it to.

Every now and then, one of my cats will show displeasure with me. My inclination is that their response was reasonable because I did something I shouldn’t have. Cats are good people; they definitely have reasons for what they do.

I think it’s good for the evil empire teams to win occasionally. If Moneyball teams won all the time, owners would eventually stop spending. That would be bad for baseball. But I think it’s important for teams with lower payrolls to win too. And I like parity. And new teams winning it all. Truce?

000

I’m not playing games, although I suppose I was a bit coy. Here, I’ll spell out for you what I think: I don’t think a team like the Dodgers is inherently bad for baseball. I like the fact that they’re a rich team that doesn’t hoard their money. That’s a good thing. I’m just tired of seeing them win

100

I actually didn’t say that. I said that anything without the Dodgers was good for baseball. That’s not the same thing.

100

That’s a hellworthy trespass

Maybe, but far from airtight imho 🤷‍♂️

So every time interest in baseball is growing, the current champions are a good thing? Is it not possible that interest in baseball is growing despite the Dodgers’ recent success, instead of because of it?

100

Well they can’t just put “grifter” on all of them can they

That’s just a summary, but it doesn’t mention the Dodgers or any of their players I’m not trying to be obtuse here. I’m simply asking if the Dodgers’ recent success is a positive for baseball (causative)

100

Interesting he’d only be involved with the one hit song. I wonder if he had a son that carried on his legacy or anything

210

I had this thought yesterday. I thought they could televise it, like the first few rounds of the draft or something

000

They are, and I don’t get it

000

I wish people would stop framing these things as though they *could* happen when (hopefully none of us are naive enough to think that they *will* happen. What incentive would he have to support a 3-day work week, out of the goodness of his heart? Please.
