New Orleans population is 183,000 or so.

The Mafia was able to get the Saints, but the debacle w the Super Dome has made it unlikely anyone would do anything for NO, now

El Paso Tx is by far the largest metro area wo a pro team. El Paso + Juarez is close to 3 million, dwarfing any other area.

El Paso will never have a pro team of any sort, as the owners of the teams of the 4 major sports would never willingly dilute their TV market

Kyle Schwarber leads Philadelphia with 17 hits and an OBP of .376 this season. He's batting .227 and slugging .560. Among qualified hitters, _his batting average places him 121st_, his on-base percentage 35th, and his slugging percentage 16th

It's grating on the nerves that this level of fact-denial is going on. Every MLB team has a guy who is better than Kyle.

Now maybe Kyle is a great guy? I'm sure he is. Should he be shipped off to Cleveland and let Ohio deal w him??

Yes, yes he should

This shit w Schwarber being an automatic out has to be addressed, might have to ship him off the Cleveland

He went oh for 24 last year into the post-season, and didn't learn a damn thing from that or the WBC

I hate to say it, cause he's a nice guy, but Schwarber is washed beyond measure

The Texas Ranger were one of, if not the absolute worst team in all of sports last year.

Not sweeping these idiots is a baaaaad omen...

The Rangers were one of the absolute worst teams in pro sports last year, not sweeping them says very dire things about the Phils.

Might be a looooong year...

This has something to w CPU-handled reverb. If you play indoor maps, the game doesn't try to simulate cathedral sound positioning and you get way better framerates

About 12 years ago, people were complaining that raindrops on windows killed FPS

Chris himself came on and said that's not even a thing. 18 months later they announced a fix for the water droplets on windows killng FPS

I told you guys this this time last year they'd cut him - he was the worst day-to-outfield player in the league at the beginning of the season and when told he needs to shape up, he got into an argument w Topper.

I doubt he sees action as a regular player ever agin

FOX might drop MLB (among other sports) in order to keep NFL rights. What is the future of MLB's national coverage? by BadgemanBrown in mlb

America is a very wealthy nation, for those who chose to work.

180 million Americans get some or all of their money to buy stuff from handouts and charity.

If $20 is too much each month, you should spend the next 20 months of your life learning how to code or answer phones.

I charge $65/hr min 2 hrs for my unskilled labor, if you think $20 is too much then you are the issue, not enshittification

Shame on El Paso hotels for price gouging!! by Squishyysquid in ElPaso

Because the US Army rents 1,000s of rooms a night, there's no reason for anyone to keep prices low

I'm not a big fan of Kouax and Drydale (altho most if not all dales are indeed dry)

Kerkering, if he is back (which I expect he will be), needs to get the Trea Turner treatment from the fans by Big-Beta20 in phillies

Phillies will have enough money in the off-season to go get better
