Thats what im saying. Nobody wants to support a farm team or a glorified farm team. They dont get people going to the games to watch baseball, they get people by being a "fun" family friendly day out, not disimilar to going to the zoo. If the Saints were an independent team in a league that the teams payed decent and cared about winning it would probably be sold out every game for the same prices.

Carolina Blue is a pretty dope color

There is an F2?

Princeton finished on a 9-0 run. Zona really makes the Pac-12 shine like a turd.

Girl in my high school in the 90’s obliterated everyone using how fashionable she thought the school colors were.

I heard pronouncing unionized is how you tell apart a scientist and a plumber

For comparison an average NFL punters hangtime is 4 seconds.

Thats a man who has that specialty. Expecting anyone to throw a ball in the air and have as much or more hang time than a professional kicker of balls is insane.

Not related o the story itself, but what is with this picture choice I thought this was a still from from shaolin soccer. Got my hopes up for a sequel.

> idk if the gnats had used them since smoltz played a game there on a rehab stint once lol)

MLB rehab visits often seem to be where huge minor league attendances come from

The local AAA park, 2nd baseball attendance record is that, 1st and 4th are exhibitions against the major league affiliate, 3rd is Hideki Irabu during his short stint in the minors transitioning from Japanese baseball

Not with that much time left on the clock. He tossed it with like 10 seconds left. Nobody gonna get the hang time needed to ride that clock out.

Obviously that was his goal but his clock awareness was bad especially from a bonus year player

Does Steve Nash' kid play for them?

Yup, that was usually my go to for bracket pools. It was usually a cheap entry kinda thing, maybe $5. So I had fun with it. Never won, but usually did pretty well overall.

>The six-time NBA champion and five-time MVP became the league’s only Black majority owner when he purchased the Hornets, who were originally named the Bobcats in 2010 for $275 million.

According to Forbes, the Hornets are valued at $1.7 billion. Initially, Jordan became an investor in the team back in 2006 before buying a controlling interest in 2010.

Jordan will retain a minority stake in the franchise. 

Wojnarowski reports that a deal is not imminent but negotiations have significant momentum and the sale would make Plotkin and Schnall co-governors of the Hornets.

Lol my grandmother doesn’t know ANYTHING about basketball and she made those picks as well and has one of the highest rated brackets in the country.

X files ftw

I knew minor leagues unionization had already happened, I figured this meant an offseason agreement taking effect with the leadup to this season

Love to see it. Haha

To be honest, this way of thinking is just so foreign to how I think. Maybe because I'm mainly a soccer fan. But soccer fans do not support minor league teams. Nobody will show up unless its an independent team. Even the biggest teams in the world, maybe a few dozen people are showing up for the reserve teams. I get the "entertainment" thing, but why would any serious fan care at all about a reserve team or a faux reserve team.

So my winning percentage in my bracket today was terrible.

But also I didn’t lose a sweet 16 team so I’ll take it!

The last bracket I did, my brother suggested I pick based of off whos mascot would win in a fight. Top 1% bracket.

This is sometimes true, but Princeton is actually the LEAST experienced team in the field this year.

Oh lord which one on speedway…
