“We’re already over budget and we were substantially over our budget last year and this year. We’re not going to be looking to add a lot of payroll,” he said. “And it’s hard to imagine fielding a better team. If we play up to our capabilities we’ll be fine. That’s the question: Will we?” – Powder

If they were capable of playing up to their presumed capabilities they probably would have done so by now.

as much as it will suck to see Al in a sixers jersey, hard to know what they are doing there. It’s like they are putting together a team to combat the mid-80s Celtics size

London seemed to have a lot of less than ideal features (tons of foul territory, awful sun fields, way too quick infield). I wonder of MLB with change things for next year.

Holy shit the winner of Fatty’s “write my column”…all preamble from some hick in idaho, then it’s over. Like if “Our Town” got soaked in Coors Banquet Beer and Meth and then wrote about it, tacking on some superficial comments about football to technically fulfill some requirement. Fatty will have to hustle to write a worse column. Jesus christ.

Do you like gladiator movies Donny?
Donny
He’s 65, and recently retired from the Glanbia Nutritionals Plant. He owns Chariot Racing Horses and used to race himself. Yes, chariot racing is exactly what it sounds like: two horses pulling a person in a chariot not much bigger than a wheelbarrow that sits on two large bicycle tires.
Donny is a New England, Bill Belichick and Tom Bradyhater. “They are cheating SOBs,” he likes to say. “Only way they can win.” He’ll go on a tirade for a good 10 minutes about New England, and sometimes when things are too quiet, we’ll ask him a question about Brady just so there is some noise.

I just erased my whole post. There are no words.
So why are the Nets all of a sudden contenders for this year?
C: DeAndre Jordan*, Jarrett Allen
PF: Kevin Durant*, Rodions Kurucs
SF: Caris LeVert*, Allen Crabbe, Garrett Temple, Nic Claxton
SG: Spencer Dinwiddie*, Joe Harris, Dzanan Musa, Jaylen Hands
PG: Kyrie Irving*Durant is done for this season…so they are ridiculously thin at PF and PG. They could go the Brad Stevens positionless route (bigs, wings, ballhandlers), but their star PG ain’t going to play that shit 2 years in a row.
They’re now over the cap…I don’t see where there scoring comes from unless Lavert or Dinwiddie make 10ppg scoring jumps form their past years.
I mean, that’s like an 90ppg lineup..at best. And no defense.

Donny sounds like either (A) he’s a complete fabrication by King’s crony’s or (B) the greeter at Hells Wal-Mart.

I think the bullpen IS playing to its capabilities and that is the specific problem.

During the game yesterday they talked about how MLB teams would have to build their teams completely different if they played a stadium like that with miles of foul territory. Poor Chavis and Judge. They looked exhausted after chasing foul ball after foul ball. They were saying teams would get speed athletes to cover the corners and they were suggesting this might make baseball better going forward because it would reduce the amount of foul balls into the crowd, help pitching and could essentially speed up the game. Naturally they’re saying this the very day after the 3rd longest 9 inning game in MLB history in said stadium. The pitchers were all complaining about the airflow dynamics from the mound and unable to get pitches to do what they wanted. The visuals backed that up.
I enjoyed them interviewing the casual London fan who knew less about baseball than I did about cricket. Great marketing. Wouldn’t it make more sense to play these games in say the Dominican or Mexico where baseball is still sort of big? Instead of a country where all of 45 countrymen have played in MLB over the past 160 or so years.

Both the Fox and ESPN broadcast teams clearly go the message from MLB to trumpet over-and-over the fact that the London series was a big success. I can only assume that the sole metric for success was that they were able to play the game.

I feel so misled by “Longmire”.
