Tomlin was hired before Carroll. Both were hired before Francona.

So his trivia question is wrong then right?
Belicheck Tomlin Pop and Pete is 4.

Yes. To be fair, I think a lot of folks forget how long Pete has been in Seattle. I had to look it up to be sure and I'm a USC and Seahawks fan. lol

Yes...in addition to the many words for a fight the ones for getting ripped off are good too.

 

[shopson67]

Nah. Not a baseball guy.

To be fair, in today's baseball the answer is focus on your launch angle and swing for the seats. Conventional baseball wisdom like hitting behind the runner doesn't fare as well with the infield shifts in play today.

Remember the prank Pete & LenDale White pulled on USC?

The shift for a RH batter makes hitting behind the runner even more enticing. That gap between 1st and 2nd base is huge.

Sure, but if we've seen anything, it's that most of these hitters won't sacrifice launch angle to go the other way. If hitters would do that, we wouldn't need to change the shift rules.

Some can and do still hit the other way.

Yep. lol

If memory serves, it was a Halloween prank.

 

[dtgold88]

And they ain't winning shit.

winning division is more than shit.

Don't remember all the details. Helluva prank though.

And a question about someone very special. Did k_2_t get himself banned or will he be able to be around this season? With Kawhi back his dumbfuckery would be twice as funny.

Them winning the division was completely unexpected.

But just ignore that person you responded to. He has nonstop Cleveland issues for some odd reason.

Basically, they staged an "argument" between Pete and Lendale with Lendale storming off the field. Then Lendale appears on the roof of an athletics building, then threw a dummy off the building to look like he jumped.

The team thought it was hilarious...a couple of folks in the press...not so much. lol

Okay WHAT DA FUCK!?!?!?!?!?

Watching the local news last night found out about some Broncos hotline fans can call to leave their opinions after the game.

One caller called Wilson the "best passer in the world" and doesn't understand why the Broncos are only 2-2. He should stick to cars driving in circles for 3+ hours instead of trying to figure the NFL out.

Then this.

One caller suggested the team only eat organic food and listen to jazz to get more focused.

The rest of the division is at or under .500, the only such division in baseball. Faint praise.

They don't call Denver "Mile High" for just one reason any more...

Sure, but it's a distant minority. I wish there were more disciplined singles hitters in the game.

I mean, the NL Central not anything special either. They also beat out a couple teams who actually spent and tried to win the division.

Just enjoy the extra baseball. You don’t have a leg to stand on here. The AL Central is the worst division in baseball. You don’t need to apologize for being the tallest midget but it is what it is.

Guardians' record puts them 2nd or 3rd in every other division in baseball. Never thought I would say this, but they are actually lucky to be in Cleveland.
