They wouldn't be wrong to raise a banner.

If you have someone already familiar with the process sell masks and donate the profit. If you don't I don't think you'll make enough on them to justify the time of setting it up.

Eh maybe. Still feels weird to me. Also, I don't know if that's the best way to promote the site? Wouldn't you rather have it on a happy hoodie or a marvelous mug?
Masks are a necessary bummer.

Given the rancor in the discussions on restarting, do you think the next CBA has become harder to negotiate, and are there new issues that will need to be addressed?  And, do you think there's a chance the Union might hire someone competent this time?

At the very least, I don't think the league has done much to convince the players that it is keen to negotiate in good faith.

It was always going to be a contentious - now the league (or its owners) has set itself up to be the entity that tried to pay them less in a pandemic.

Better on Twitter? I thought Twitter was only for canceling cookbook authors??

What I mean is that sometimes, a data query is interesting but not enough to sustain a 1,500 word piece.

Bregman gets dumped on a ton, and I guess he comes off as an ass because he has the drive to be the best--as i'm sure all great athletes do. Regarding trash cans, his road splits are far superior to his home splits. If you never saw the little girl from ABQ he helped visit Kris Bryant (her favorite player), google it, it's fantastic. He just finished arranging to feed 150,000 meals to people in need earlier this month. He's also been very involved with helping kids with autism. No question, just wish people would look at the person a bit more in-depth before judging. There are plenty of guys in the league to dislike, but I really don't think he's one of them.

He's certainly done good work in his community. Before the banging scheme, he also cast himself as a heel. Hard to walk that back when part of the bit was long stares at the camera after a home run.

I'll grant he's more complicated than either the more angelic or demonic aspects of his public persona. Of course he is - he's a human being! But he kinda has to wear this.

Ok pals, I need to get rolling. Thank you for the chat, and for reading the site. We appreciate your support so, so much.
Sorry for what I didn't get to. Be well, and have a good long weekend!
