MLB Off-Topic

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I mean, Rosenthal is pretty vanilla-ish; yet having it out there, confirmed, for everyone to see that someone as prominent as Ken is out because of some light criticism of Manfred is just hilarious. Manfred is just garbage, as if we needed more evidence.

Let's see if any of the other big name reporters at MLB say anything about or if they are just going to be good lap dogs and keep their mouth shut.

Heyman, Morosi and Sherman haven't tweeted anything about it. Verducci is actually smart, must likely just happenstance, and doesn't have a Twitter account.

Manfred is actually worse than Gary Bettman, which is saying something.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that. Unless Manfred is doing everything in his power to keep the Rays at Tropicana/As in their stadium, while also running a league that has had multiple scandals covered up by its teams, while being booed by 20,000 people at every draft and championship trophy presentation, imposes a hard cap which hurts the bigger markets more than it helps the smaller ones, and implements a home run derby as the tiebreaker after the 10th inning, then he couldn't possibly be worse than Bettman.

I don't see it on Matzek's Twitter unless I'm missing something.

stands at 5’4 1/2” but still towers over Rob Manfred. Fire one of the premier reporters in baseball because he critiques you? That’s his job. #soft #rentfree #doinglaps

Here’s the news story at ESPN on former Mets GM Zack Scott’s acquittal on both DWI and a lesser charge. He was fired before the case was adjudicated. https://t.co/Sa5foMjvRK

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Interesting story I read.

Turner was trying to change the Braves name to the Eagles in the 70s.

So Atlanta would have the Hawks, Falcons, Eagles.

I wonder how that would fly (pun intended).

OT: I love that you said "pun intended", one of my gripes is when people make a pun and say it was unintended. Of course it was, that's why you said it

There are a lot of times it's not for me, and I recognize it after the fact.

Given the track record of all the Atlanta teams named after birds (your forgot Thrashers, RIP ) I'm glad we stuck with Braves.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I think the Braves should go back to the previous Atlanta baseball name and be the Atlanta Crackers

:|

that, or just be the Georgia Peaches, since they actually left Atlanta a few years ago lol

but do you go back and edit your comment to say "no pun intended" after the fact? I'm talking real time, when someone speaks and makes a pun and knows they're making a pun, and says "no pun intended", that's different than noticing the pun after the fact
