OT: Other Sports 83

...just bend the brim like I do?

Too stiff. I like the hats that already come with a curve. The flat brim ones just never break in.

This was supposed to be the hat, not sure why they pivoted.

I've been told apparently the players didn't want to wear this thing, so they scrambled to create a new hat

Interesting. Well, their scrambling was pretty dang solid! I mean, pretty easy fix, but glad they went this route, because the new hat is great.

I also just saw a jacket. Now, I am not a hat guy, but I am a jacket guy. Gonna need self control not to go after it.

So those are replacing the dumb wrigleyville jerseys, not the blue alts we won the world series in, right? I'm good on those if so.

I do wish that the Cubs would being back the red-brimed blue hats from the 90s, though.

So the Dodgers signed a 23 year old pitcher who is expected to be a top of the rotation quality? Sasaki can "only" get a 6.5M bonus but it's hard to believe any other team was ever considered, especially since his fellow countrymen Ohtani and Yamamoto are obviously on the Dodgers.

For me the MLB is almost as ruined and as dull as the NBA is, which is by far the worst pro sport these days IMO. With the exception of the NFL and NHL, I'm losing interest in most sports these days.

I'm not even sure how you fix it at this point when teams like the Dodgers/Mets would never agree to a cap, yet teams like the A's and Pirates would never agree to a floor.

Chicago has the poorest billionaires in all of sports.

FTFY

Sell the team for 5x+ what you paid for it then. Cheap bastards.

If you can not afford to run the Cubs as a major market team, then you are too broke to own the Cubs. Ricketts should have bought the A's.

Goodness, do I want to punch PTR in the face.

They spent $229mm last year and it got them 83 wins, FFS.

Exactly. Needed to spend more to fill in the shortfalls that everyone knew was there.

But if you want to point out that the organization is just poor with roster development and use of funds, I can get behind that too.

Just an insane offseason for the Dodgers.

F**k the Doyers. Baseball needs to do something about the Dodgers. Dodgers are acting like Taylor Swift while the other 31 teams are acting like Billie Eilish, etc.

 

[Mrfenn92]

f*** other owners for copping out with excuses

Just an insane offseason for the Dodgers.

Can't even get mad at or blame the Dodgers. This is the leagues fault and the blame starts with the commissioner.

Just ridiculous. May as well contract 1/3 of the teams to somewhat balance the talent out.
