Scherzer / Syndergaard tonight.

This series, and division race, is going to be brutal.

Lenny Dykstra has joined Twitter and it's glorious

Needed that from Sale tonight. Probably the most satisfying win of the year so far. Let's go.

Would you expect anything else from a guy called Dick? Plump pussy. Or as Poison called it: unskinny bop.

Meanwhile, the A's are stuck in the Oakland Coliseum where the toilets leak all the way into the dugout with no signs of getting a new stadium.

The A's need a new stadium. The Rangers don't. The Rangers are getting one, the A's aren't. Oakland is smart not to give tax money for a stadium.

Everything is stupider in Texas.

Yeah, and the fuckin' Braves don't need one either. Their stadium is younger than the Rangers' ballpark. At least the Rangers are finally getting a stadium with a roof.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Also dumb.

Atlanta in general is a terrible sports city

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

Atlanta is replacing their NFL stadium, built in '91 & the baseball park, built for the '96 Olympics. There was also rumblings about replacing the Philips Arena, which was built in '99. Terrific priorities that city has.

 

[PhilsFan]

It's not even really the city's fault at this point. The Braves are moving out to the suburbs to a town with no public transportation access.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Braves are building a new stadium (or, rather, having Cobb County build them a new stadium), pretty much because they think white people don't want to go to Turner Field.

It's the Steinbrenner moving the Yankees to Jersey argument, only they actually followed through.

I heard Danny Ferry was hired to their marketing team.

That area in Atlanta is very new, clean, blah blah blah.

But why anyone would abandon public transportation is beyond me. And Atlanta's public transit is nice and cheap.

 

[Hewson]

It's not even really the city's fault at this point. The Braves are moving out to the suburbs to a town with no public transportation access.

That's a recipe for many thousands of empty seats once the novelty of the new park wears off.

 

[PhilsFan]

There are faults with the Philly sports complex setup, but having all the stadiums together in an area with plenty of parking and a subway line that runs right up to all of them is pretty good all things considered.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That's a recipe for many thousands of empty seats once the novelty of the new park wears off.

Unless it's Foxboro

 

[Hewson]

Unless it's Foxboro

There was a time not terribly long ago that the old Foxboro/Schaefer/Sullivan Stadium used to feature tens of thousands of fans disguised as empty metal benches on any given Sunday. Winning sells tickets, though not always in Atlanta as the Braves had many non sell out playoff games. Take the Braves into the burbs with the team they field currently, place will be empty.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Put the team they currently field anywhere and the seats will be empty. They fucking blow

Harvey's mental Swiss cheese

 

[lazarus]

Fuck the St. Louis Cardinals and their shitbag fans.

Cubs humiliated them tonight, just like in last year's NLDS.

LETS GO.

23 years ago today, a fly ball bounced off Jose Canseco's head and went over the fence for a home run.

I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often with all the DHs playing the outfield.

Lenny Dykstra's out of prison and still alive.
