Didn't both of their losses come on walkoffs? Or at least 1 run games?

What is the score of the Bears vs. the Pigs?

These teams really, really do not like each other, and it was always fun to be part of the games.

Sounds about right that the players will strike and frick it up.


This will be a lockout, not a strike. I can see both sides of this issue. I get that the players think they deserve the owners' money for providing a service. But the owners are paying fair market wages for the service. It is going to be really ugly over the winter, I feel. The Winter Meetings will be an interesting get-together.
Here is what the MLBPA has submitted for the newest agreement

Among the key components proposed by the MLBPA:



Significant increases to 40-man minimums, including a Major League minimum salary of $1.5m beginning in 2027

Expanded Pre-Arb Performance Bonus Program distributing more dollars to more players

Expansion of salary arbitration eligibility

Enhanced compensation and contract guarantees for players in salary arbitration

Expansion of rules aimed at combating service time manipulation

Elimination of the qualifying offer as well as the penalties for Clubs that sign free agents

Increased benefits for lower revenue Clubs who lose players to free agency

Qualified free agency for players with five or more years of service who have reached age 30

“Luxury Tax” threshold increases and removal of non-monetary penalties

A new “Competitive Integrity Tax” applying to Clubs that fail to meet minimum payroll benchmarks

Expanded draft lottery to further disincentivize tanking



Additional MLBPA Proposals that are designed to improve competition while also supporting lower revenue Clubs include:

Increased revenue sharing that initially guarantees every small market Club a minimum of $240m in revenue every season, subject to requirements that funds be used to compete on the field. Beyond that guarantee:

Clubs will be able to keep more of the stadium-related revenues they generate

Tens of millions in extra revenue sharing will go to low-revenue Clubs that qualify for the playoffs or have a winning record

Significantly increased sharing of local media revenues from high to low revenue teams

Curbing revenue sharing dependence by barring excessive transfers

Penalties for Clubs that neglect to spend revenue sharing payments on team payroll

Draft picks and other benefits for low revenue Clubs active in free agency and other signings

3rd intermission discussion

Why has scoring decreased since the 80’s

Or

Who feels old because they remember Marty and Brindamour as rookies?

Or

Why is Anson Carter wearing ugly shades

Ok thanks

I see Carolina fans whining right now so wanted legit answer

Dobes has that Roy swagger at times

But at least he isn’t out there doing figure skating compulsories like Hextall and Brodeur.

Off topic, but isn't PCA's mom the mom from Little Big League?
Are they getting a new stadium or is it "just their turn'?

So Iran isn't defeated then?

Have you taken a history class? It's a well-established fact that after every war—except for the Korean War, because it is still truly ongoing and no one has been "defeated"—there are always remnants or pockets of resistance, even in defeat.
At the time, Brees was not the better player; you are using the Saints' offense and quick game that Marty did not use for your argument. Plus, what you are paying Brees would have been more than what they paid Rivers on the rookie contract.

Drew Brees, let him walk away


Do you resign him after a shoulder injury, and Phillip Rivers waiting to take over?
I am about to ask a pre-K-level question, so I apologize in advance...


Iran does not want to give up its nuclear program, which is understandable, and the US and the rest of the world want it to never have it, which is the best thing for humanity.

Should the US take a MOAB and blast the holy beJesus out of their sites, above ground, to make them inaccessible? Because we all know a bunker buster would cause damage that could never be repaired, ecologically and socially,
Can someone break it down for me like I'm a total newbie? How did Canada end up ranked second in CONCACAF? It kinda feels like when Wales had a high ranking a few years back, or like they figured out how to game the ranking system to look better.

Strange Question but WC 26 related

Next August, the institution is hosting an award ceremony, and I've been put in charge of decorations. I was thinking it would be fun to use the World Cup as inspiration and create pennants or buntings for all the countries involved.

Does FIFA or any of the governing bodies have a website where I can find printable flags? I tried looking online, but all I came across were coloring sheets.
