I'm a Cardinals fan first, but since you brought it up... The Cardinals drew 3.52MM this year, 98.8% of capacity, second in turnstile count behind the Dodgers. The Royals drew 2.70MM this season, 88.2% of capacity and 10th overall. Considering the Royals have to share a state with the #2 drawing team in the league, not too bad to finish within 100K of the Blue Jays, who have a MUCH larger metro area and and entire country to themselves.
Please cut the ####.
He apparently isn't a big fan of autographing betting slips, according to a buddy of mine. Pretty good shtick.
How did the Royals do the 22 years prior? And I should have known you were a Cards fan....
He once cut my dad off in traffic in a convertible and then flipped him the bird out the top. No shtick.Scum of the earth.First time anyone ever said this IMHO.I met Pete in Vegas and he seemed like a nice enough guyI listened to it four times, he said it!
if CFL defenses were allowed to move the goal posts as frequently as you have in this discussion, no CFL kicker would ever make a field goal.
Cleveland is mid because they're able to claim Akron and Canton. Supposedly, the same will happen with Cincinnati claiming Dayton very soon.
Yeah, but stuff like this happens almost every year on one of our four major sports. I don't know why we continue to act like it's some terrible injustice. Four years ago the 97 win Cubs would have been left out of the playoffs entirely; this format is far better for many reasons. It's not perfect, but IMO it's by far the best one we've got across the four sports. This year was just a weird anomaly.
Whatever, good luck to all your various teams this round.Bruce Dickinson said:
The 1909 Cubs were 104-49 and didn't make the post-season. Same thing with the 1993 Giants who won 103 games and missed out the year before the wild card began.
Yup it seems to happen in the NFL every year. 8-8 team wins division and some 10-6 team is screwed. I think the current format works but why can't they do a 3 game series rather than single elimination? With the current format, you basically just advance the team with the best pitcher. Last year, the Giants were able to set up their ace for the WC game while the Pirates were competing for the division and ended up having to throw out their # 3 starter. A 3 game WC series would be ideal IMO
What does this mean about the Jays? What do they buy on mlb.com that isn't apparel? Is it the tv package? Because there is a reason one would want to fake being a Jays fan for the purpose of MLB.TV you realize?
Scrapping the divisions, playing a balanced schedule and letting the top 4 teams in would be ideal. But it is too logical to happen.
Thankfully, no. He's on the pre-game panel with Frank Thomas and Dontrelle. Pretty sure he's drunk.As in part of the broadcast team?Pete Rose on ALDS pre-game.
Typically licensed apparel sales on .com is < 10% of total apparel sales for a retailer or league. Total apparel is around 7%. It doesn't translate as well as hard goods. And can be an impulse buy in a store.
Yep. Even the grocery stores have cleared aisles to sell Royals gear. Hy-Vee has "Royals watch party" displays with Royals shirts and hats to go with Royals-themed party foods.
Rally House will do the same thing next round, across the street. KC is similar to a college town.
This year's AL West race was actually less meaningful because of the 1-game playoff. The Astros let the division slip away and under the old rules they'd have been out. Instead they got the second wild-card and another chance.Daywalker said:
That would be a disaster. The travel demands would be out of control. And think about how much it would suck as a fan on a practical level. If you're a fan of one of the three AL West teams in the Pacific time zone, almost half of your team's weekday games would start at 4 or 5 PM. In the NL all five West teams are in the Pacific zone, so now you've got the bulk of the league dealing with 20+ games a year that don't even start until 10 PM local time (even later in SF because those dooshbags start at 7:30 local time). That would also damage the sport's cash cow, the RSN deals, because ratings would plummet.
The winner should be allowed to defend their title. I'd be ok with the idea of any win, place, show horse competing the next season. 3 carry over horses, 17 newbies
Astros were still desperate to win the division which was not the case with the Yanks/Sox before the 1-game playoff for WC.
