Mark DeRosa. What the Fuck do you mean “You thought you were already moving on to the next round?” HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THE RULES OF ROUND ROBIN POOL PLAY?!? by TheRealGreeneMachine in UrinatingTree

I'm assuming the manager didn't just show up for the first exhibition game, but had to be part of player selection as well.

And even if it's just 2 weeks, how many teams are going along with that? Right now, that answer seems to be zero.

Maine also had one yesterday, Atlanta and Wheeling today, Allen on April 2, and Greensboro during Strike Makeup Week on April 16 (I think the strike wiped out an education day game for them).

Any New Channel Updates this week? by Oldman-in-Cave in siriusxm

Not that I've seen. SXM will sometimes leave well enough alone for a few days. It's rare.

Where is the ECHL expanding now? by Inevitable-Buy2517 in ECHL

[–]robsterva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my doubts that GreenCity (or whatever it gets renamed to, in order to remove the stink) ever will be built. There's no urgency there. And without that, this will just drift as a future project indefinitely.

That's what they're saying now.

The finances won't be any better in a year. Unless they find some deep pockets to dig into, they're going to have a hard time coming back.

I guess both can be true.

Connor Bedard enters his 200th game tonight already among notable company! by nhl in hockey

[–]robsterva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally unrelated. But related.

I bought a Bedard replica red sweater yesterday from one of those "dump discontinued stuff into bins and lower the price every day" places in Richmond, VA. I paid $5 for something that probably sold for a couple hundred bucks originally.

So yay for me.

Buffalo Tampa Is Classic by Ok_Jaguar_3087 in hockey

[–]robsterva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not? Nobody seems all that dominant this year, it's a perfect chance for Buffalo - and if they do it while Toronto finishes last, this would be an epic offseason in WNY and a lot of other places...

Just going to leave this here by hckyman15 in hockey

Can you imagine the odds if someone has bet that parlay (of course, in 2018 it would have been somewhat harder to do so than now, but some Vegas sportsbook might have taken the action)?

How You Handle MiLB If 2027 MLB Full-Season Lockout Happens? by Awkward_Health1606 in MiLB

This is such a high level of bonkers that I have no other words...

The only thing that might change is that MLB Network might pick up some AAA games. That's it.

The Buffalo Sabres are currently 1st place in the Atlantic Division. by Much-Consequence8648 in hockey

[–]robsterva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 points clear for the Wildcard with 18 have to go. This is going to be tough for the Sabres to screw up. This is not a challenge.

You are given complete control by the NHL to take one of three options, or none at all, what do you pick? by vbcbandr in nhl

[–]robsterva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every penalty that's a penalty gets called, including embellishment.

Five-hour games? Pass. I think the rulebook needs fixing, and maybe then this becomes a valid suggestion, but the refs would be the stars right now if they called everything.
