  1. Maybe they were just thinking about how much everything was costing them.
  2. I don't disagree and I'm not a heavy Vegas visitor, but it feels like people have been complaining about being nickel-and-dimed since at least the 90s. Domestically, they can probably live off of conferences, bachelorette parties, and the Instagram-obsessed (for whom high prices are a feature, not a bug) forever. I think it's the drop in international travel that's really hurting them.
  3. I was browsing around looking for possible OT targets and just noticed that Baylor has 4 guys named Jamarion in their class
  4. Yep, that was in the depths of their "not-even-trying-to-win" era. Even Altuve had a sophomore slump that year. I remember they had deals where you could get a ticket, a hot dog, and a Coke for like $9 or something ridiculous. Sit anywhere you like, because there'd only be 9,000 people in the stadium.
  5. Bobby brings him up constantly, so he must think that Lee is an actual possibility. I remain skeptical personally - Michigan really wants to hold on to him. I think under past staffs or even in previous years, I'd be on this thread worried about backup plans (not saying you sound worried). The loss of Cojoe really underscores our need for depth at OT. At this point though, I'm pretty comfortable assuming that 1) this staff won't leave any stones unturned, and 2) even people like Bobby won't hear much about said unturned stones until the staff feels OK with that news being public.
  6. This one sticks out to me, since I was there: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU201304020.shtml Yu perfect through 8 2/3 in Houston. Single by Marwin Gonzalez right up the middle broke it up.
  7. Honestly a little rougher than I would've thought. There might only end up being 1 guy that's more than just a mid- or late-round dart throw for the NFL. Probably the last good chances are for Guilbeau to blow up this year, or Neto to have a very good next two years. I assume that Campbell is what he is at this point.
  8. It's always kinda funny watching the true Cowboys homers respond to this stuff with "b-b-but the Eagles will be in total cap hell 2 years from now!!!!!!!! Just watch!!!!!!!11". ...no they won't. They'll restructure their way out of the problem like any competent front office with a brain. Absolute worst case scenario, they eat cap shit for a year or two then start all over again. Also, they're championship contenders NOW, so who gives a fuck what the cap looks like in a few years?
  9. Did they ever say what was/is up with Campbell and Wingo? Just hungover? Have they been back out there?
  10. Only taking 3 OL in 2024 was a fuck up, IMO. Looking at our offer list for that cycle, I think the other guy we wanted was DeAndre Carter out of CA that ended up at Auburn. Don't remember what the story was there. Needs to be 4+ bodies every year like clockwork, ideally 5 if they can find good ones.
  11. Pederson and Jung, murderers' row
  12. Saying that Taylor is better than The Who is objectively incorrect, but hey, it takes all stripes I guess. That said, Taylor is great. One billion times more talented than all the knock off versions like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. Exception to #2 is Olivia Rodrigo. She fucks. I fuck with Huntr/x heavily right now and I don’t care who knows it. That shit goes. Yes, I do have pre-teen daughters, how did you know? My dudes, it gets so, so much worse than Taytay and Huntr/x. Be thankful for the wins when you get them. God damn it we really need some news and/or the season. I hate you all and this thread. And myself. Picture attached below to add something of value to the thread.
  13. "Brandon Baker...can be pretty good this year" What gives? This Kool-Aid tastes like shit.
  14. Agreed. Good thing we have the best starting pitcher of his generation on the mound today.
  15. I’m way more inclined to believe Parsons’s side of the story here and obviously fuck Jerry, etc. But also why the fuck would a player ever talk contracts with a team without his agent present? That’s literally why you have an agent. “Talk to my agent”….that’s it, those are the only words that should come out of your mouth.

    Flaco Gone.

    RIP. This joint here will never, ever not hit just right.
  17. Pretty cool that a team giving playing time to Joc Pederson and Rowdy Tellez didn’t think it was worth their time to trade for a bat.
