OT: Other Sports 82

[Space umpire]

Who likes watching baseball when it's 35 or 40 degrees, sleeting, snowing, raining, etc? Baseball is a warm weather sport. Always has been. Playing it in those conditions is a disadvantage to those teams, as well as miserable for the fans. I literally don't even think of attending a Sox game until mid May at the earliest, and I really don't wanna go to a game past mid September. IDK if I'd even want to go to a cold ass October night playoff game at this point.

I have fond memories of Cubs opening days during middle and high school. Missed school with parental consent.

I get it. Just not for me. And I played hockey and spent most my life in rinks. I ice fish, and am going tomorrow. Weather doesn't bother me normally, but I can't enjoy that.

I see we have some masochists in here. Hey, no kink shaming.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Solid signing by Sox here

The masochists are those fake tough guy idiots who goes to these games shirtless.

A 20 yr old amateur, Nick Dunlap (soph at Ala) won the PGA tourney this weekend. The field was full of notables and not some off the cuff secondary event. First time an amateur won on tour since Mickelson 33 years ago in1991. Dunlap had to make a 6' par putt on #18 to seal the victory.

Not going to lie, that'd be one of the best ballpark views, period.

Hall of Famer, beloved Cub Ryne Sandberg has metastatic prostate cancer

Sandberg announced the news Monday afternoon.

Outside IL he's very underrated. He retired with the most 2B homers ever and the highest 2B FLD% ever. He barely got in the HoF on the 3rd ballot by only 6 votes.

Bloomington ECHL branding update:

I like it. The right kind of goofy.

Illini not getting the job done in regulation and choking hardcore in OT. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Who ?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Who ?

Look him up. Pretty great year last season

Look him up. Pretty great year last season

I keep telling myself I’m going to see a game or 2 now that they’ve tried to shorten them up from 3 and a half to 4 hours games were taking (4.5 to 5 hrs for playoff games).
Maybe this coming season.

Oriole fans are finally are free of Angelos

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I'm surprised the Orioles are worth 1.7 billion.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

There's basically been a sports-wide franchise price inflation ever since Ballmer paid a ridiculous amount for the Clippers a few years back.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Corbin Burnes to the Orioles for Joey Ortiz, DL Hall and the 34th pick.

Feels a little light, imo, BUT.....Burnes has regressed since winning the Cy Young a few years ago, so maybe this is the appropiate valube. The deal being a win for the Brewers is based on DL Hall. If Hall can developed into a TOR starter, then easy win.

Did ESPN fire more people and force cross sports work of its reporters or something?



Bulls f***ing blew it not trading him after he came back
