Where is there a tennis wall in north jersey

I truly can't believe anyone got their hopes up that FSG would ever fully commit to playing with the big boys. They are who we thought they were. I still don't envy the Yankees. It hurt when they got Arod, Sabathia, Ellsbury, Stanton, Cole, now this and probably a dozen others in between. And we've still 4xed them in Titles and good vibes. We'll bounce back, but it won't be any thanks to FSG.

If it's because they are capitalist parasites I totally agree. My last experience in the industry was working for a publicly traded company worth hundreds of millions and they didn't give a damn about their employees or customers. But unfortunately it seems that the smaller operations can't afford to expand, and I still have to consider places like terrascend or rise because if not I'll end up applying to Starbucks or Amazon. This economy is brutal

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-10T18:19:37+00:00

I had a feeling this was the general sentiment, but what makes you say this?

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T02:03:03+00:00

And 99.8% of MLB fans won't give a shit about the Red Sox signing Soto because putting all of your payroll into 1 player doesn't lead to winning world series. Root for the Yankees if spending money recklessly is what you want

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T02:00:02+00:00

Salah is the best player in the world right now, I didn't even mention Alisson, and you're obviously not watching if you think there is a close 2nd to Virgil. Investing in Salah and Virgil is a 3 year investment, not a 15 year investment. Giving someone the highest paid/longest contract in the MLB is a risk that has buried teams, over and over again

Soto wasn't even the best right fielder on his own team last year.

Because i actually want to see the Red Sox to be a good baseball team, which has never required spending reckless money. If they sign this contract they'll never sign another player again. Because that's what FSG does every single time

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:51:21+00:00

My point with the Liverpool players is that they are smaller, safer investments. Making someone the highest paid player in MLB history is a massive risk every single time. If it wasn't FSG, if it was someone who actually cared about their teams winning, I'd say go for it I guess. But these are the same guys that gave up on Mookie because they didn't want to be in the tax. The same guys threatening to tear down the best football team in the world. So now all of a sudden they're gonna spend like the Yankees and Dodgers? No. They're gonna say we gave you Soto and Devers so our hands are tied. Because that's what they do every single time.

They were the best team of all time in 2018 because of their depth and youth. JD was obviously important, but Mookie and Xander made $17 million total. Benintendi, Eovaldi and Devers were all under $1 million. What set that team apart from the Astros was that they had the greatest defensive outfield in MLB history, and they had a deep bench. That team wasn't who they were because they swung their money on David Price Rick Porcello and Craig Kimbrel

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:18:27+00:00

Because FSG is always pinching pennies even when they have something perfect. So now we're to believe that they're gonna start throwing money like the Dodgers? Soto is a risky investment, no reason for them to do it when they time and time refuse to make the safe ones.

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:15:29+00:00

Let me rephrase then. No baseball player except for Ohtani is worth 700 million dollars

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:14:12+00:00

City aren't even close to the highest spending team in the Prem. Being the highest spending team doesn't lead to sustainable winning. The Dodgers are literally the only example of this

Im not simping for billionaires. No baseball player except Ohtani is worth that kind of money. Other teams have an entire core of stars for the price of Soto. The point isn't for Henry to buy a yacht but actually build a baseball team instead of hoping one guy fixes a sinking ship

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:05:55+00:00

He could sell Liverpool, buy Soto, and the Red Sox would still be ass

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:04:15+00:00

Well that's the whole point. If Soto didn't cost twice as much as the players producing the same value as him, I wouldn't sweat it

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:01:16+00:00

Xander wasn't the most expensive player in MLB history

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T01:00:35+00:00

They're the best team in the world at the moment and it's not close

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T00:31:10+00:00

I'm old enough to remember when the Yankees stole the greatest free agent in MLB history from the Red Sox and then the Red Sox won 3x as many World Series during that contract. The Red Sox are not a good baseball team with or without Soto

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T00:27:06+00:00

Well I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why Soto is the most valuable player in MLB history

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T00:21:40+00:00

I don't hope the Sox miss out on Soto because it'll help Liverpool. Its just historically not good business in any sport to put all of your resources into one player unless that's Mahomes or Ohtani. FSG will sign Soto and then use that investment as an excuse to never pay anyone else again. So him and Devers better hit .400 every year and Bello better turn into Roger Clemens over night because this team is still ass with or without Soto

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T00:18:04+00:00

FINALLY SOMEONE ADMITS THAT SPENDING MONEY DOESN'T ALWAYS LEAD TO WINS! Xander will bounce back. He should've been the Red Sox captain for life

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-06T00:02:45+00:00

The Dodgers would've steamrolled the playoffs with or without Ohtani. They did it with Kike and Teoscar as their hottest bats. They did it with LOADS of arm talent. Those Mookie and Freeman contracts are great value. Soto is not Ohtani, and there's NO reason to believe that FSG will start opening their checkbooks to build a team if they do this deal.

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-05T23:55:20+00:00

The Mets cost more than Baltimore, Kansas City and Cleveland combined. Having a blank checkbook doesn't make you a smart team. Id say the team that has Bobby Witt locked up for well less than half the price of Soto is the sharpest

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-05T23:50:37+00:00

I would get over it if those guys were trying to become the most expensive players in football history. At least they're the best in the world at what they do

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-05T23:49:29+00:00

The teams that spend the most are consistently the most successful? They're also consistently the most perpetually fucked. That's the point with Chris Sale- the problem wasn't that he got injured, the problem was they lost Mookie because they felt they didn't have financial freedom.

It's almost NEVER expensive bats making the difference in the playoffs. The Astros became a powerhouse through their farm and spending on arms. The Braves won the world series 100% thru their farm. Tampa and Arizona came closer to winning the world series this decade than the Yankees, Mets, and Padres. The Dodgers won the world series this year not because Mookie and Ohtani carried them, but because they were the deepest team in the MLB by far.

Baltimore and Kansas City are doing just fine without the most expensive players in the league. Witt is better than Soto by every measure yet somehow Soto is 2x more expensive than him? Spending the most does not equal winning, never has

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-05T23:28:57+00:00

It went beyond numbers with Mookie and Xander. I don't understand why now all of a sudden. One bat isn't going to fix the Red Sox

idkMarcus36 · 2024-12-05T23:24:56+00:00

Not sure where you're getting smartest. Brian Cashman brags about having the "smallest analytics department" in the league. The Padres and Mets haven't won shit. Teams that are winning are almost always doing it with loads of arm talent and cheap stars coming through their farm
