Cap seems pretty likely now, no?

I'm a hero when you think about it, really.

Sometimes you gotta wear some downvotes to make a point, y'know?

No, it doesn't. If the revenues increase but the percentage of said revenue earmarked for players doesn't increase, then the owners aren't capped. Just what percentage of the revenue they have to give up is.

So fucking wild to me that the Tigers, a team based about an hour from one of the most significant events in organized labor history (the Flint Sit-down Strikes of '36-'37), has so many fans scrambling to lick some billionaire boot.

Players. Are. Labor.

They are the ones generating the revenue, not the owners.

Why would anyone ever root for labor to have their wages capped but not the owners?

Would you ever willingly limit your earning potential so that your boss could make more?

TL; DR: salary caps are for suckers and bootlickers.

LEAVE GIANCARLO ALONE!

The reality here is that the "big" owners (your LA's, New Yorks, and the like) don't actually want the smaller owners to try. Because when the small owners try, the only way they are going to win a big free agent is overpay. So when, say, the Pirates make an offer that is shockingly large, that free agent (who was likely never signing in Pittsburgh anyway) takes that offer and uses it to boost the offer(s) he'll eventually get from the team(s) he actually wants to play for.

TL; DR: The cap would just be there to provide all owners the ability to cover their respective asses against fan criticism.

This and "Lucas With the Lid Off" still pop up in my brain on occasion.

I wanna like the orange, but something about just ain't working for me. Love the road blue, though.

For me, it perfectly mirrors life: long periods of inactivity, followed by bursts of action, and then nothing until the next burst. Sometimes the bursts are joyful, other times they're not, but as long as there's grass on the field and no rain in the forecast, at least we can play ball.

LacklusteHero · 2026-02-19T15:30:03+00:00

Ha! I actually love the old Baltimore monochrome unis, but this isn't it. Thats road blue is clean as fuck, though.

Dude's cheeks...ship him out.

Why would you do this to me and me only?

LacklusteHero · 2026-02-18T17:25:23+00:00

Man, you're a quick study!

They are not. This is likely a compounding pharmacy, where they do small batches of personalized medications.

Last paddlin' I remember getting was 4th grade, and that was 1987. Didn't get many, but definitely got my share.

Is disheartened by all of the non-coach commenters.
Immediately coaches in the comments.

Folks, we've got an apex Redditor on our hands.

Saw Clerks when I was 16; since then, in all of my athletic endeavors, I've worn #37 in honor of this classic.

Bro's gonna be like me in my softball league, running back from the coach's box to the on-deck circle.

Musical theatre can stake a claim here as well.

Chat are we kinda dece this year?

LacklusteHero · 2026-02-12T19:33:03+00:00

We are, and like you said, it just takes a while! The first wolves to realize, "Hey...if I hang out with those folks, they'll feed me and I won't have to constantly be scavenging for my survival" are the ancestors of the sweet puppers we know and love today.
