I feel fairly confident in saying this
that Clayton Kershaw sure is a nice young man. His kin must be proud
I bet he doesn’t drink many caffeinated beverages.

yeah, I bet he doesnt even drink alcohol…. he is a straight edged kid forsure…. probably didnt go to one party in highschool.

This kind of stuff drives me crazy
Apparently, you will be unable to watch Mariners games in Alaska.
I dated a girl in college from Alaska who was (and presumably is) a huge Mariners fan. If I understand this correctly, Alaksan fans who want to watch baseball will have to buy League Pass and then be able to watch all teams but the Mariners.
The weirdest part of the blackout policy is that teams are signing 15 year deals that continue it.
If baseball is only available on cable 15 years from now, it’s going to seriously hurt the sport’s ability to attract younger fans who will look to the web for everything.
your TV is going to also be your household’s hard drive and server soon, where you can access any tv station or website from any screen in the house wirelessly. Paying for NFL Sunday Ticket and MLB.tv full game packages will be the same thing.
except that won't be allowed to happen with the deals that jake is referencing
content providers are going to take everyone down with them before they will be willing to join the modern age.

If the modern age is you don't have to pay for it
then yeah, they will take everyone down.

i want to have a centralized server for my residence and be able to play my music, movies, and internet from any screen in the house. It’s not hard, just expensive right now. I want to play WoW on my TV without hooking up the cpu tower dammit.

A friend if mine used to play in the Alaska summer league back in the 80’s. They would play games at midnight. Then, he’d go to the bar. The bars have to close for one hour each day, so at 5 AM they would throw everyone out. My buddy would get a newspaper and read for an hour, then go back in. He had no trouble sleeping (er,,,passing out.)
Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.

My opinion there: That is not going to work out for Dude #1. The reason you don’t want to have a kid is that you don’t want to raise a kid. That is OK. There is nothing wrong with not wanting kids.
But if you live in the house with the kid and the kid knows you are having a romantic relationship with mommy and you are always around, you are raising a kid.

Just curious, real question. How many superstar players were truely a good person? Would you say its the same amount as the asshole ones?
I would guess there are fewer humble elite athletes than there are d-bag elite athletes.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
thats what I think… and I think its because to become truely great, you need that cocky, arrogant, asshole side to become great…. so thats why I dont mind it in a player…. You have to be full of yourself to fullfil your potential…. OR, maybe its their skill and being so good that leads them to being an asshole.
I think you can know that you’re really good at something but if you have someone to check you from being a giant asshole or something else that will make you humble, then you have the chance to not be BronBron.

I don’t need a “good” person, just don’t want to actively root for an asshole. Was not a fan of being a Dodger fan during the Brown / Sheffield years.

I don’t consider marital infidelity a sign of an asshole. I’m not sure how to define an asshole but I know when I see it.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
It just seems that so many successful people in life, money wise, power wise, whether its sports, business, acting, producing, politics, whatever, are assholes… So the question is, is it their arrogant, asshole personality that drove them to their success, or is it their success that drove them to their personality? I dont know the answer.

who made their fortune themselves is refreshingly humble

That is a key caveat. For the rest of us, to succeed in the corporate world, you do need to be in touch with your inner asshole, and know how and when to draw upon that.

Reading link about Casey Blake on MLBTR, I suddenly became upset that he signed with Rockies
(not really upset, more just wishing he’d signed with an AL club so I could still root for him.)
Given that he’s supposedly (accent on supposedly) healthy now, makes me also worried he’ll be great for a division rival. But just as likely he’ll get hurt again and not be much use.
On other hand, still would’ve rather brought him back than signed Adam Kennedy. whatever that’s worth.
