6 garcia - garbage
7 o'hoppe - o'crappy
8 crouse - maybe a good reliever

Wake me when the owners quit being shteinbirds and end the lock out

So we playin? 

Heard they will get 162 games in.  Can they negotiate 100 game season? shtein, bums usually in the thick of it until about game 130 when the train derails into a ball of flames off into a deep canyon. 

[ice grillin you]

does still playing 162 mean there will be a couple true double headers for each team or is that a pipe dream?

I spent many a night at twi-nighters at the Vet.  I miss those days.

[ice grillin you]

yeah the best but definitely not the time to forget your liver helmet

[PhillyPhreak54]

No doubt. Those were fun nights.

If they get the 162 in then maybe I'll get to go see them here. They were supposed to open against Houston.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Heard the Phils come to Houston now Oct 3-5.

Great. Watching them play out the string with some AAAA guys.

im sure you know a little about the lerners...do you think theyre gonna go 1 gate or 2 gates for these games that need to be made up

its only 2 games...the 3 @ hou like j said are going to the end of the year. so its 2 games in dc that theyll have to get in, and that's it.

I heard ST was opening on St Paddy's Day so I figured I'd see if I could get Phils tix. 

They're not even on sale yet.  No ST home games in Clearwater are on sale yet. 

Look, I'm just saying, baseball is really getting past the point of irrelevancy, and this kind of stupidity ain't helping things, especially for elder whiteys like me who actually still kinda care about them.

baseball is really getting past the point of irrelevancy

nobody thinks baseball, a billion dollar business with its most profitable year in 2019, is on the verge of death more than people who actually like baseball

[ice grillin you]

making money is different than relevancy

baseball is truly irrelevant outside of a handful of cities

luckily they have a sport that largely plays alone and outdoors in the summer

that being said there is nothing that could hurt the sport simply because no one cares about it and even the ones that do dont care that much...if its there cool if its not...eh?

[MDS]

i dont really know what that means...nobody cares about it millions of people do?

if by care you mean like trend on social media then nobody cares about any sport except the nfl
