    The beard is a significant improvement. Why would he ever go unbearded? http://cache1.asset-cache.net/gc/482567260-toronto-canada-july-31-blue-jays-general-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=X7WJLa88Cweo9HktRLaNXiYN9Cct%2BmafejN%2FeHarmPXsJaAAjPLylJDm%2FIRDKk9KVCPvk50pvU9RWleu6oHzZQ%3D%3D http://www.ottawalife.com/wp-content/uploads-olm/2011/08/Anthopoulos.jpg

    Does the forum not have a "random posts" thread? If not, it should. It would be a good way of keeping threads like this in one place. And especially since so many people here get so testy over this sort of thing.
  3. Art Vandelay
    Yes. I'm so glad this thread exists. No sarcasm.

    I damn near almost got hit by a police bus during the g20 riots. A cop was telling people to move back, and I guess I hadn't moved back far enough as I felt a hand pull me back. It was another cop, and the bus flew past me, around the corner to the police HQ.

    Malcolm Gladwell wrote a fascinating book called "David & Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants", where he touches on MLK and the Birmingham Children's Crusade, and the tactics (some of them, ethically questionable) used by MLK to try to gain support for his movement. While MLK might have preached non violence, he also recognized that the violence being used against blacks could be used as a way shocking white America out of its apathy towards them. While watching CNN, a young man said something along the lines of "maybe we're going the wrong way about it, but at least people are paying attention". And that's the thing, a silent protest probably won't do anything. The sad thing is, people are hurting themselves just out of this desperation. But would we even be talking this if there wasn't rioting? I think that must feel frustrating, to have people who didn't know or care about you, who have an entirely different life experience, suddenly scold you for your actions.

    People are angry. Things in Baltimore have been pretty bad for a long time.

    That would be really bad PR, wouldn't it? Having Beeston telling fans they're seriously looking into a real grass field, and then having Rogers say "Sorry, it wasn't feasible".

    Jeff Blair suggested fans might also want to give themselves an extra 40 minutes when going to the game. All ballparks will be using metal detectors, at all gates, which has resulted in long lines to get in.
  10. Art Vandelay
    I don't know what that is, so no.

    Retrofit is the best idea, because you can do it in stages. And because there is very little space to build a new stadium. A lot of condos and office buildings are being planned. Here's what the waterfront will probably look like in the future: http://urbantoronto.ca/sites/default/files/imagecache/display-default/images/projects/7343/urbantoronto-7343-25090.jpg

    There's nowhere to build one! Come on, everyone says "Just build a new one". Where would you put it?

    "And here's something you don't see everyday, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista was hit by a van while warming up before a spring training game versus the Mets. The van, driven by his own team mate R.A Dickey, hit the right fielder and sent him flying into the fence in right field. Bautista, who many in the Jays camp were hoping would lead the Jays to the playoffs for the first time since they won the World Series in 1993, was then rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he is currently on life support. Boy, that team sure can't catch a break."

    Such a winnable game, too.
  15. Art Vandelay
    If all he does is score 20+ points off the bench, I don't really need him to do anything else.

    Which purple jerseys? Vince Carter era? The original jerseys were really ugly.
  18. Art Vandelay
    I feel like enough teams from the east would make it so that wouldn't be a problem.
  19. Art Vandelay
    I would imagine this would be most likely. The thing is, what with how the city is blowing up in terms of condo developments, I wonder if there will be any space left in 20 years? And say what you will about the Rogers Centre, but it's in a good location. I think they'll have to slowly, over time, transform the Rogers Centre in stages. Installing grass will be the first major stage. This is going to be a long process. They also seem to have removed a ton of seats, so I wonder if they're finally replacing some of them?

    Followed by Hawks, Rockets, Pelicans, Mavs, and Warriors. This is going to be a brutal month.

    Fans vote on the entire season so far, not just the past two weeks. Not to mention people around the country voted for him.

    Google is now labelling this an untrusted site.

    When I say tough, I don't necessarily mean physically tough. I mean guys who will bang under the boards, get under the other team's skin.
  24. Art Vandelay
    It just happened for me, so I clicked back and tried again.
  25. Art Vandelay
    Raptors lack tough guys. James Johnson is like the only tough guy on the team.
