THAT’S RIGHT, GO HOME YOU FUCKING STREET DRUMMERS (Even though Cora will probably be the manager for the Sox again next year. Ugh)
That’s the one. They did it completely open to public opinion and did not give a single fuck what people thought. No apologies, no explanation, mind your own damn business. Love it.
With how insane the Dodgers are this year, Atlanta gets as much credit as you can give. It came down to one run. Do you guys prefer the fake studio audience crowd noise, or would you prefer silence? I think the cardboard cutouts are dumb.
Go Tampa, the thought of Los Angeles having NBA and MLB champions in the same year is absolutely criminal to me.
Last night, there was something wrong. I finally had to mute the TV in like the 4th-7th inning. I don't know what was different, but the extra fake noise was grating, and hadn't bothered me as much. They seemed to tone it down after about the 7th inning. I know that Matthew Kaminski (the Braves organist) was playing in games 3-5, and I assume the organ playing in games 6-7 was the Dodgers organist, because I heard the organ. Did the home team have any control over the fake crowd noise? I don't mind the cardboard cutouts.
Please don’t count the NBA as one of the major sports anymore. Fuck them. Corrupt, paid-for referees and players who decide what team they get to play for— which will always be the city with perfect weather and Hollywood whores. The NBA is now where Pro Boxing was in the 90’s— so far beyond corrupt the fun is gone and it cannot save itself. You’d have to be a fucking retard to be a basketball fan and think you’re watching “fair sport”.
Those cardboard cutouts are a goddanmed wasteful, stupid fucking idea. Using resources to make paper products, putting them in empty seats, what the fuck is the point? Where are the environment warriors and climate change people when stupid decisions like this are made? Hold someone's nuts to the fire so people stop doing dumb shit like this I hope one day such wastefulness and single-use products are illegal, punishable by beheading.
When I saw them the first time I thought that they put rainbow-coloured solar panels in the seats. I want somebody to sneak in and leave an open Zippo underneath one so a whole row goes up in flames. Joe Buck will play it down, of course.
I can’t speak to everywhere. In Cincinnati they had the cutouts up all 30 home games. At the end of the season you get to take it home. Is that single use?
No, not single use, and I'm sure most of them will hang on a wall in a man cave somewhere for a while before they go in the trash. Still seems like a stupid use of resources to me.
It is a little frivolous for sure but at least some of the MLB teams were using it as a way to raise funds for charity. Here is an article with some of the prices the cutouts are going for. https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/mlb-cardboard-cutout-fan-program-prices-1.46903145
God, I feel old saying this, but I've watched baseball for 50 years. The end of this game tonight? That was something I've never seen before. That was a hulluva game.
You mean major leaguers playing like a bumbling bunch of little leaguers? I haven’t seen that either. At least since I was that bumbling little leaguer.
Meh. It tied up the Series rather then the Dodgers going up 3-1. It's been a fucked up season, so if the teams can give me an entertaining series, good for them. I don't care who wins, just make it interesting.
