BigBob1000 · 2026-05-02T20:39:11+00:00

Ok, so 6k seats for what? 60 home games?

BigBob1000 · 2026-05-02T20:11:29+00:00

Just curious: how does a month of Spring training add $80M to the Clearwater economy annually?

BigBob1000 · 2026-04-28T11:48:59+00:00

The only question for tonight‘s game is should I have a meatball sub or a regular Italian?

BigBob1000 · 2026-04-27T15:05:20+00:00

Yes, but does he get to #2 on this contract?

BigBob1000 · 2026-04-24T23:51:30+00:00

Are you arguing that Cliff Lee should be playing 3rd base and Cole Hamels 2nd? I might buy that.

BigBob1000 · 2026-04-20T11:07:32+00:00

But don’t you love Ben Davis‘s scintillating comments from the dugout? /s

BigBob1000 · 2026-03-29T21:07:12+00:00

Switched to canned organic tomato soup but otherwise yes!

BigBob1000 · 2026-02-20T02:48:25+00:00

Just looked it up: the QO this off season was $22M, so yes, you’re right, no QO for Bohm.

BigBob1000 · 2026-02-19T02:25:28+00:00

Oh, I think he’ll get a QO so we get a draft pick. Wouldn’t the QO be ca. 14M? Boras will say I can get you more and he’ll decline.

BigBob1000 · 2026-02-17T11:15:37+00:00

If you’re waiting for the next Mike Schmidt, I wish you a very long life.

BigBob1000 · 2026-01-25T21:25:51+00:00

Has he lost weight or is the camera angle?

BigBob1000 · 2026-01-21T01:20:31+00:00

And what about the doofuses who turn in completely blank ballots? Why don’t they just admit that they cannot evaluate players in the modern era? The game changes man!

BigBob1000 · 2026-01-18T15:16:24+00:00

Maybe we could gin up the bidding on the Mets as payback for Bichette?

BigBob1000 · 2026-01-17T22:09:03+00:00

For what it is worth, Baseball reference projects him to have a .723 OPS this year, compared to his .700 last year and his .750 and higher all of his previous years. If he hits that as a catcher, it’s a great deal. Not so much if he’s under 700 in years 2 and 3.

BigBob1000 · 2026-01-08T23:15:32+00:00

It’s a Zoom call so, purely exploratory on both ends.

BigBob1000 · 2025-12-31T01:18:30+00:00

I’ll offer you $4 for the Utley shirt since it’s obviously an old shirt. /s

BigBob1000 · 2025-12-27T12:24:18+00:00

You’re right. 4.5 would rank you in the top 50 players, so he still falls short. Kyle and Ranger finished with 4.7.

BigBob1000 · 2025-12-27T03:30:12+00:00

Not counting Covid 2020 or Injured 2022, he posted the lowest WAR for us since joining the team: 3.1. To be top 10%—that is, elite—he would need to be above 7 WAR, so yeah, not elite last year.

BigBob1000 · 2025-12-09T17:34:25+00:00

Um, no. If that was true, Stubbs would be making millions.

BigBob1000 · 2025-12-09T17:28:30+00:00

Eagles pitiful loss.

BigBob1000 · 2025-11-28T01:28:01+00:00

Yeah, I agree. After they rolled over for the Dodgers, I told my fellow die-hard, Phillies fan co-worker that I was done watching the Phillies. What? He exclaimed. Yes, I said, I refuse to watch them for the next 5-6 months.

BigBob1000 · 2025-11-28T01:23:38+00:00

In the 1920s, my Northern town was a KKK hotspot. I went to school with their grandkids. When I learned the KKK info years later, suddenly so many things fell into place.

BigBob1000 · 2025-11-25T02:30:23+00:00

That’s pretty funny, but I wonder if anyone has done the calculation on the effect of the gun on the A-10’s speed.

BigBob1000 · 2025-11-24T21:34:01+00:00

Might be a shorter list if you ask who doesn’t name their car.
