Sport Programmer at a City run soccer facility, which happens to have a bar. So I spend my Friday nights with sweaty old Slavic Men (O35 league is Fridays)

Idiots here at my work made me change the WBC game to the Raptors...admittedly I refused to change the other TV from Duke/UNC

For the record I don't ever think they will go with shields but these will eventually become standard http://sports.cbsimg.net/images//visual/whatshot/CbB75YAW8AAcrfo.jpg

It's equipment why would you rule it differently?

Even if it's not the proper full solution (and it's not) better to have a small solution now while the correct solution gets figured out. I await the players stupid reactions to comfort being more important than safety.

Italy Barcalona'd it

I'm pretty sure I had Trout and Bryant, not sure where they are now! I lost someone which I had drafted I just can't remember who right now. I will put Travis on my n/a. Should I pick up this person or have an admin do it? edit: It's Josh Staumont.

I got a chance to look at a ticket analytics program for the Hartford Yard Dogs (which has nothing to do with the FBI investigation they are under) and it was a cool program (nothing that they could put in place as they don't have the luxury to do so in the minors). The future of seating might end up with every few rows paying different prices.

I actually talked Speedy out of making a Harper deal just a few weeks ago. He's ready to break

Anyone interested in forming a We Ain't Petty cover band?

The Minor League Bloggers Facebook group had this 2 days ago.

All AL teams why not. Red Sox - become the first team in 10 years to crack the 950 runs scored mark, but it doesn't translate to a big win total, starting Farrell gets fired rumours. Rays - Did this one already, they lead the AL East on September 1st...but don't make the playoffs. Yankees - Trade 2 of their three starting OF's at the deadline. Orioles - Trade Machado to the Mets and appear to have the best rotation in the AL East Indians - Sit sub-.500 prior to the trade deadline. White Sox - 2 of the top prospects they traded for are lost for the season by April 30th Tigers - Surprise 95 win team. Miggy comes up just short of the Triple Crown, when he loses the batting average crown to Kevin Pillar Twins - Lock up Brian Dozier for 9 years. Royals - Despite being just 2 games out of the wildcard at the All Star break, the Royals are the biggest sellers at the deadline, moving Cain, Hosmer, Soria, & Escobar. They try to lock up Moose but he refuses. Angels - Trout plays without a major injury and doesn't come top 5 in fWAR Mariners - Scott Servais is the first manager fired, still gets hired by the Brewers before the seasons end Astros - First team to have six 5 win players (I actually assume that's a first, never looked it up) Rangers - The two Profars have a fist fight during a game. Athletics - Billy Beane leaves the team at the end of the season

Clearwater (Phillies) is the best low minors stadium I've been in.

need advice... 5 x 5 league. Sano $2.50 being offered for Lindor $2.50. I have 3 other SS's already and the rule is 5 middles (with at least 1 being a 2B) so I can't bid on another SS if I don't trade one (haven't looked who else is available). Both players are on the same contract $2.50, $7.50, $15 then can't be kept. I have 19 keepers right now (17 is how many we keep) so this does nothing to clear up space. I could do the same deal for Buxton and keep him for an extra year and he wouldn't count towards my keepers (probably allowing me to keep a $22 Chapman, who along with a $10 Kang is on chopping block).

I just heard that he had two accidents in the underground. One where he was on the DL and hit a pillar (not Kevin) while doing donuts in the empty parking lot.

I'm buying Indians tickets tomorrow when they go on sale. I am absolutely amazed how many tickets price points there are. Really like the site for finding prices I might add. This was a Shapiro pricing strategy...do you think this is something which could work in Toronto? http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/ticketing/pricing.jsp?c_id=cle&layout=gameflow

the extra $1725 is for the right to meet up.

10 seconds is the amount of time baseball pitchers take between each pitch...for them it would be like a nanosecond. I do think that it should be 30 seconds or before the pitcher is in their set position whichever comes first. As for Capps, if the PA decides to make a big deal about it, he'll end up being allowed to use it much like how Big Papi was allowed to step out of the box when they said they would enforce that.

Reinforce the underground parking beams and bring him back.

Actually with all of the $81M going into the Training Facility they will get more than what they hoped. The money need to fix the stadium appears to be separate.

The GDT is in mid-season form

oppo with some pop...up your projections bitches

I met them this past summer when we were negotiating with Tyler Shaw (they are managing him or something) and they look like normal Businessman Jews now.
