If i learned something from the Raptors this year is that if you give the city a competitive team, the fans will be there. Until then, gotta live with it.
For almost half the season you could get Raptors tickets from Groupon, they thought they were going to tank and offered cheap tickets.
That Miguel Olivio thing seems serious, they took the player right away to the hospital to reattach the ear. They said they actually saw part of the ear on the dugout floor.
Not sure it's a good idea to tell the batter where the ball is going to be all the time, if they shift him to pull and they will only pound in, won't he just look for balls inside and ignore the outside part?
The thing is, you'd need the whole world to go back to stone age for the next 100 years to maybe affect 1 degree in the world temperature. Meaning all the political stuff is completely meaningless. You would kill the economy over something that is out of your control. If you kill the Canadian economy, the "climate change" benefit that you will get is probably a tiny fraction of a degree.
If you look at the protesters who go to these events (climate change, anti big oil etc...) you will see it's always the same core of people without a job and get funded by foreign competitors. A nice example would be protesting against Alberta oil but not protesting against importing Saudi oil (which is what you get if you don't use the Alberta oil).
If the team will be competitive, Melky and Rasmus will want to stay. Plus, if you slap QO on both of them, they will probably stay another year.
Which goes back again to starters that we need.
Looks like Goins is able to keep consistent numbers in Buffalo. Only down side, it's still mostly singles but he's hitting over 300. wrc+ at 114 so far compared with 90 it was last year in Buffalo.
People spent good money last year and got a kick in the ass for it. For people to come again they need to see signs this team is competitive. Maybe if we have some lead in the AL East it will happen.
