  1. reminds me of the basket/net in wrigley. will probably help umpires making home run calls i'd think. i'd like to see more & better pictures of this. i also hope this is just a solution for just this one year and that they'll do necessary reconstruction on this for next year, possibly bringing the lower wall forward a couple of feet so this isn't quite so goofy.
  2. well, if you can't trust bob, who can you trust?
  3. or dimaggio or gehrig or ruth etc. yeah, that'd be a blast to watch now. i'm pretty sure we'd still some impressive greatness out of them. even more, i'd like to see some of studs over my lifetime play in the first half of the 1900s. i imagine we would have seen a .400 season or two from carew, brett, or gwynn. would like to what macgwire or sosa or canseco would have done cleanly in the 30s and 40s. would like to have seen walter johnson and christy mathewson and cy young pitch in 70s and 80s. etc etc etc.
  4. a. they'd either do very well still (talent is talent) or b. they'd fall and break a hip because most of them would over 90. also, their GIDP would be astronomical.
  5. the stats used today are an effort to compare one generation to another. it's a somewhat even playing field statistically because it doesn't take into consideration talent played against, travel, park factors, conditioning, etc. it's taken me awhile to be more accepting of modern stats - i'm not a fan of something that requires intense calculations to figure out. i like simple things that i can observe, like hits, runs, stolen bases, rbi's, homers, etc., but i see the value of the modern stats and am okay using several of them (except BAPIP, which can go screw itself).
  6. carl's jr.? you rich guys really know how to party.
  7. i'm aready seeing facebook posts pissed at trump for not calling him a terrorist yet.
  8. i like you thoughts on this. i think it would work best on the highways first as there are just so many unpredictable (i.e. idiotic) things that happen on side streets and avenues, especially when you factor in pedestrians and the idiots on bicycles. this would probably work best if somehow everyone on the road could get their car equipped with it at the same time. it'll be filled with a lot of learning curve issues when some cars have it and many/most do not.
  9. for those of you on facebook . . . this was a quick and easy fix, less than ten minutes. i had over a hundred apps that were mining my data, most of which i was unaware about. you know those facebook games you like to play? yeah, they're screwing you. http://www.thisisinsider.com/how-to-change-facebook-privacy-and-tracking-settings-2016-5?utm_content=bufferc438c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer-beauty
  10. not at all, birthday boy. now if they wanted to have a full blown conversation in greek, that'd be a different story.
  11. i'm a third generation greek-american. if someone greeted me in greek, i would be the exact opposite of offended.
  12. not to mention a couple of sweet texas rangers world series champions t-shirts.
  13. yep, there are a lot of schools that need to secure their boundaries and entrance points (mine being one of them). it's going to take some time and $$$ to do this.
  14. counselor, i thought conversations between a husband and wife were private.
  15. takeaway: there will never be autonomous cars self-driving in glendale for the foreseeable future. and i think you meant Anderson's Pea Soup, not Harris Ranch, you heathen.
  16. so this news comes out on the same day as the new SI cover featuring him? crap. he'll be lucky to hit .225 with a WAR above 0.
  17. I'm still waiting for a quote/story from Albert that says he cares about this as much as some here keep insisting he does.
  18. Eh, it's not like your horse was gonna win. #barbaroisstilldead
  19. Who holds back the electric car? Who made Steve Gutenberg a star? We do. We do!
