The dirty secret is that spring training games are actually extremely boring to sit through, especially after the starters check out. Maybe it was different Back In The Day but I've never experienced that.

you are mistaking us for Dodger fans.

N: The Rays are scheduled to play a game against the Cuban National Team in Cuba on March 22.

V: Thanks, Obama!

Seriously though that is rad as gently caress and I'm so glad for the baseball implications of the lifting of our Cuban restrictions.

Hey guys, apparently Puig is "putting in the work" and "saying the right things".

So the day after Salvy gets his big pile of money he turns around and gives a big pile of money to an awesome cause for poor kids in KC. This would have been like...most his salary last year.

That is rad as heck. What a cool guy.

I've still got my stockpile of salty Cubs fans' posts in the NLDS game 1 thread decrying Lackey and Heyward. Gonna have some fun with those come the regular season.

I wanna bust out the posts from the NL wild card game every time a pitch gets away from a Pirates pitcher

"It is a joke," Gossage said. "The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it.

"I'll tell you what has happened, these guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went and they thought they figured the f---ing game out. They don't know s---."

The team is probably your best bet for this. Looks like the Blue Jays email format is first.last@bluejays.com...I'd send an email with basically what you just posted to someone in the promotions/giveaway department (check the website) along with the picture and ask them when it was from. Some teams really geek out about items from their history (Yankees, Red Sox, surprisingly the Twins), but at the very least they should be able to tell you when and where it was given away.

Also try tweeting at them, MLB is getting huge about good Twitter interactions with fans

Also, Goose isn't quite done with his hot takes:

You forgot the part where he complains that replay makes it so managers can't go out and yell at umpires and kick up dirt anymore (which isn't true anyway?):

quote:

�No manager can run on the field anymore and kick dirt on the umpire. That was exciting. That was part of the game. That woke everybody up and everybody loved it.�

It's not okay to be demonstrably excited about the game but it's okay to be a giant baby so I guess at least he's internally consistent about his racism

Statement from LaRoche on the kid thing. To his credit, he doesn't really paint himself as a victim here.

Based on this part, I'm imagining a conversation like this after a couple of players or coaches complained about the kid always being around:

Williams: Hey, just so you know, we want you to bring your kid around less
LaRoche: My kid is the most important thing in the world to me. I don't know if I can keep playing if I can't spend the same amount of time with him!
Williams: Okay, cool, your kid is banned forever then

this is hilarious and would not surprise me a single bit
