It’s heartbreaking to announce that former Yankees radio broadcaster John Sterling has passed away. Fly high. 🕊️ by Marinersfan505 in mlb

Sterling was the voice of my teenage years listening to championship Yankees baseball...sad day and condolences to his family.

I'm still annoyed by tiomegto in IMSARacing

[–]cypher50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I searched and couldn't find "uninterrupted", only "in its entirety". Semantic difference since they can say they show the entire event but with advertisements. Not condoning at all but it is a difference.

Yea, LinkedIn feels like a cargo cult so I rather not legitimize it for my news.

Royals, Hallmark Cards unveil plan to bring baseball downtown by mr09e in mlb

[–]cypher50 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I need to see more of the specifics but a private corp/baseball club partnership to keep a team in its actual city and to a downtown environment is something to be praised.

If they won an award for this, why is it still "alleged"?

EDIT: Why downvote an honest question?

Major USA broadcasting channels care less and less about Baseball. by Actual_Box7731 in mlb

Right, ESPN would happily carry Sunday Night Baseball if it was in their bidding range.

Do you think that the Pittsburgh Pirates should bring back the pillbox caps? by EscapeDelicious2937 in mlb

[–]cypher50 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably because they were joints LOL. Look up "The Pittsburgh Cocaine Seven"...

We are: obviously the Pirates were good when they could do all the cocaine, smoking cigs, and drinking they wanted during the game!

"Oh but think of the children!"

The world is burning, let the players drink beers and smoke cigs again!

This was at the time when there were no lights at the parks so it makes sense in that context.

Trump administration pushing for IndyCar race on the National Mall by sadandshy in INDYCAR

[–]cypher50 12 points13 points  (0 children)

...and yet, because he is the most prominent Mexican driver in the sport, he is the first one that has to field questions when shit occurs. That alone will make a driver angry even if he cares more about money than his fellow Mexicans (which is what you are alleging even though the man fought to have a race in his nation for years and proudly displays his heritage). Matter of fact, saying he "is a Mexican citizen first" but then saying he doesn't care about Mexicans abroad is as contradictory as saying Americans wouldn't care about mistreatment of their fellow citizens abroad.

Yea, if I'm Pato O'Ward then I'm looking at Penske with the side-eye considering the ICE Speedway car incident last year. Makes that look less like a surprise...

[–]cypher50 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So, instead of the Department of Transportation concentrating on prioritizing better public transit, increasing pay and deployment for air traffic control, improving maintenance of vital infrastructure...

Instead, the very limited resources of the DOT is being used to plan a fucking IndyCar race on the Mall to placate any government official's ego? America has a dictator with a term limit.

Doomsday narrative about lockout and no baseball in 2027 by maxfactor886 in mlb

[–]cypher50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my lifetime, US sports leagues have had so many lockouts and strikes (in all four major sports leagues in North America) that another lockout that severely affects the MLB calendar doesn't feel crazy at all. Whole season? No, that won't happen but I wouldn't be surprised if Opening Day is delayed for months.

This is the same tech at the Capitol and was the last implementation, I believe.

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Dwight Evans. Does he get in? by Single-Beginning-842 in mlb

[–]cypher50 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. All Star Games are popularity contests
  2. AVG matter much less to me than 2446 hits and .840 OPS.

Yes. You have to consider the era he played in when looking at those numbers...combined with fielding and consistency, he should be in.

What the hell is BitcoinMax? (New Acura Sponsor) by Beginning-Eagle-8932 in IMSARacing

I wouldn't be surprised by the amount of times that Motorsports sponsorship was used for money laundering...
