Man, that's ugly.

In those early days, the players got so muddy you couldn't make out the colors after five minutes. But in 2024, we'll be seeing those colors in hi-def for four hours every game. Haven't Giants fans suffered enough?

I know the fielder has the right to  make the play, the base runner must avoid contacting him. In this case the base runner is automatically called out. I'm pretty sure the batter gets first base though, I don't think there can be two outs called on this play as you described it. So, my answer is A.

I seriously debated pulling the plug this off-season after 62 years as a season ticket holder.  Boy, am I glad I decided to reup for another year  :D

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 17, 2024, 04:22:54 PMIf you knew this team was winning this game during the second intermission, kudos to you, but feel free to share that prediction in real time next time. Any dope can call people out with the gotchas after the fact.



Hey, I think coggs is playing with you, more than anything else, but every one of us here were ecstatic at game's end. Whether, fan for fan, we're taking tabs on who's predicting what, in the end, who really cares, anyway?

Look, we all process our lack of patience or frustration differently. That we can express it here freely, and can kid each other about it after, doesn't change the fact we all have an underlying respect for each other, if not a kinmanship.

You know, I was all riled up early on about destroying the "Paper Champions" and stirring that thing around. But, as the series went on, I grew to enjoy the fight in Carolina and their clawing their way back into the series. I came to realize this series was the best of the NHL, so far, and everyone outside the fans of both of those teams have have watched and admired the intensity the two teams brought. So, I freed myself from the emotions, as much as I could, and just sat back and appreciated the game and the skill of both teams. The game didn't disappoint and neither did our boys when it counted most.

Now, we can celebrate another milestone as the Rangers get the Panthers in the semifinals. It's an appropriate matchup and one that has been destined since the 4-3 shootout Ranger win.

So now the discussion turns to how this Rangers team is going to win four games against this Panthers team who has the speed, the shooters, the goons and an excellent goalie. This series won't be for the feint of heart! If the Rangers are truly a team of destiny, they'll find a way.

Peace!

Carl engages with fans on Twitter quite often and I suspect his criticism is directed at those folks.  I've read some of those tweets and quite a few have openly expressed a desire for DJ to fail

I still find it odd that a shot that hits the iron is not recorded as an official SOG

Same. I like them. Don't look like every other jersey out there. Maybe they're even competitive

Quote from: ozzie on May 17, 2024, 08:47:10 PMHey that's a valid observation.
It is, but IMO most businesses aren't the type where over working someone on little rest may result in serious injury and then claim employee safety is their #1 goal.

Is there evidence that suggests short weeks are causing more injuries?

I have thought the amount of guys sitting out Thursday games that would have played Sunday would be an interesting data point.

A stunning difference in ROI for the OL.
