  1. I think, and I maybe totally off. But a large snow storm in the northeast could knock out several teams for a few days. But, rain in the southeast of California probably would only knock out 1 or 2 teams probably for one day. For example, the week long snow stor Texas experienced a month ago if it occurred now, would really only affect the Rangers and Astros. That same size storm hits the Northeast and it would affect what, like ten teams?
  2. I think Leody needs more time in the minors. Maybe bring DD up and him down once the minors restart? Not sure what the 40 man would need to change for that though
  3. Also, Ian Kennedy is sporting a -0.78 FIP. Had no idea it was possible to be negative
  4. Taveras is turning into my new Odor.....Fuck
  5. I would think that they would want all the teams to be within a game or 2 of games played. Probably would be weird to see the Yankees play 25 games to Houston's 30. Not to mention it could seem a little unfair for Houston (or some other team) to have a bunch more days off in August or September when the playoffs start getting closer
  6. You sent me down a rabbit hole for the last two hours of "work." I couldn't find anything definitive, but anecdotal from all the articles I read, it appears that about 40% of all weather postponements occur in April. I figured it would be the highest, but not that high
  7. @Helobious is correct. the main reason is weather. Opening Day is the biggest ticket selling day of the regular season. On the off chance that day is postponed due to weather, this gives them either the next day, or the fourth day to still have the "Opener." It effectively adds an extra off day in the first week for a make up day. (same for if the 3rd game of a series is postponed. just moved to the next off day, rather than a prolonged wait)
  8. 6 years of control. If he's still bashing in June he might be our biggest trade asset
  9. Ranger's have been using the first rule for years...
  10. My now wife before meeting any of my family, but it was getting pretty serious. One of my cousins died and @Knoxtnhorn was coming to Dallas from Tenn for it. My girlfriend wanted to go to show support and stuff. I thought it was a weird time to meet my family, but whatever. So we get there kinda late through no fault of our own, so Knox was going to meet us outside to show us where to go without interrupting GF: "God. Who owns that bright yellow pick up?? Is someone wanting to try out for Baywatch or something???" Knox ; "Uhh...yeah... that's mine - So you must be Jamelaw's girlfriend Huh???" Then during the funeral, since we were late, we were at the back and we're not right next to each other. Her phone starts going off. She freezes and doesn't know what to do. So this lady turns around and says "Maybe put it on silent?" Few minutes later, my GF text me and says "That lady keeps turning around and looking at me" Me "Yeah... That's my mom...."
  11. Weird. Online it's showing some Dennis Eckersley show on what it has labeled as Fox Sports SW.
  12. Is it not on Fox (Bally) SW?

  14. When the gas station pump print receipt is out of paper....
  15. These people were all of @Armybrat's generation. And I just can't get angry like I would with a 20 something
  16. So...apparently this team can't field either...
  17. Yesterday, and the grocery store, in one aisle I had three different women put their cart in the very center of the aisle while shopping. Three different times I had to say excuse me for them to move the damn cart.
  18. I was inspired but some up thread post Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk
