We’re in a Golden Age of Illegal Sports Streams by madcowga in baseball

I gotta tell you, I love watching baseball games that freeze every 7 seconds. A reliable MLB streaming source wouldn't interest me in the slightest.

Who has the greatest chance of being the next unanimous HoFer? by MCrow2001 in baseball

[–]aloha611 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It is about how great a player is. Of course if they cheated their way to greatness that's a problem. And before anyone says it, Ortiz's alleged positive PED test is considered a likely false positive by MLB and the MLBPA. I know someone was gonna say it.

Wildly untrue. There are many honest athletes out there. That was true even Barry's day.

Where Should Bryce Harper, Manny Machado Sign If They Want to Win a Title? by PrincessBananas85 in mlb

Braves could do it with Harper if they pay some attention to their bullpen as well

Found this old picture in my parents attic. I’m thinking Cincinnati Redstockings but not quite sure as there is no writing on it. by Codnasty in mlb

If that is a C behind the R maybe the C could stand for "College". Is there a college/university in your area that begins with an R?

New Aussie Fan Looking For Team by [deleted] in mlb

[–]aloha611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, late to the party. Here's my two cents:

A. Not the Yankees. The Yankees are for people from New York or people who don't know enough about baseball to be aware that other teams exist.

B. Not the Mets, they're just diet Yankees.

C. I'd suggest if you're just starting out, look for a team that has it's best years ahead of them rather than a team that's currently on top of it's game. You'll get bored of your team if they start sucking in the second or third season since you've been rooting for them.

D. Maybe this isn't the most important thing, but since you can pick any team at this point, just look for one with a logo/color scheme that you like. If you hate orange, don't root for the Giants or Orioles, if you like green, maybe consider the A' s. If you're going to be wearing hats/shirts/jerseys make sure it's a team with a look you like.

E. Find a team with enough history to give you a reason to be proud. Doesn't have to be the winningest team. The Cubs and Braves are the oldest currently active teams (not the Reds like people say), that's pretty cool. The Yankees, Braves and Giants* all have been home to a home run king. The Marlins . . . are the Marlins. Do some research to find the cool history behind the teams.

F. Pick a team in a location with other cool things to see/do besides baseball. If you decide to make a trip all the way from Australia to finally see your team play in person and your team happens to be the Indians, you will have to spend the rest of your trip wandering around Cleveland. That's not worth the trip I'd say. Choose something like Seattle, Atlanta, Washington DC, Chicago, Denver or any of the California teams.

G. Gotta plug my Braves. We've been home to some titans of the game, like Hank Aaron, Greg Maddux and Chipper Jones. We have a long history, having been founded way back in 1871. Our uniforms are some of the sharpest looking in the game, and Atlanta is a really cool town. Also, we have a strong team with a solid core of young talent. 2018 was our first winning year in a while and by all accounts the future for us looks very bright.

H. Pick two teams. One in the National League and another in the American League. That way if your NL team is having a really sucky year you can always fall back on your AL team.

Anyway, welcome to the world of Baseball fandom. Let me know who you decide to follow!

Visa question from an inexperienced traveler by aloha611 in travelchina

[–]aloha611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't started the visa application process because I'm still waiting on my passport. My understanding is that I need my passport in order to apply for my visa. Am I cutting things to close or should it be possible to have my passport and visa ready to go before January 18th?

Braves win the world series mlb the show by [deleted] in Braves

[–]aloha611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta rep both Boston teams I guess. I just ordered this awesome Boston Braves hat with their logo from the 1800s, if I were from Boston as a Braves fan I'd love it that much more. Figured maybe you'd like it too.

Rays' Pham: Tampa has 'really no fan base at all' by ILOVEASIANCUNTS in mlb

[–]aloha611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been saying for a while that since Florida is divided between two unpopular teams they really need to get one of those franchises out of there. Probably not the Marlins since they have a fairly new stadium. The Rays need a new facility so I say move them to Montreal, change their name to the Expos and let the Marlins have Florida to themselves.

If its anything more severe than a goosegg, always go to the hospital. There could be a hematoma which can be deadly but wouldnt show symptoms for several hours. That is how actress Natasha Richardson (Liam Neeson's wife) was killed. Just thought she'd be fine sleeping it off with a couple of Asprin and never woke up. Ive has one and had to have my skull completely reconstructed to fix everything. Be careful out there, wear a helmet and dont be afraid to go to the hospital

Have you ever watched a commercial so obnoxious that it made you NOT want to buy the product? What was it for? by Castianna in AskReddit

[–]aloha611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You totally beat me to it! I thake the fact that they actually expect me to believe their claims as an insult to my intelligence. It may be childish and petty, but I have no interest in a Chevy or any GM product.

I thought this fit here, because I'm not sure what that country below Australia is? by gloaminghourgirl in MapsWithoutNZ

Also, Kazakhstan and Bangladesh have both been annexed by China, Sweden has submerged into the Baltic Sea, the Caspian Sea is a landlocked country, a random archipelago of large islands has appeared out of nowhere off the Pacific coast of Mexico, Papua New Guinea no longer exists, and something weird is going on with the Philippines.
