hammerva Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Sports card collectors looking at the issue with Fanatics and jerseys just kind of snickering like "Been there done that. Soon to be very worse" After listening to Anthony Rendon comments where he basically told the media that he is in only for the money, I have to wonder if Mike Trout is either too nice for own good or just a moron who doesn't understand what his legacy will be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubbymark Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Add Jerry Reinsdorf to the list of owners that want public money for (another) new stadium. He wants the state of Illinois to pony up at least $1 billion to build a new stadium for the White Sox or else they might move to Nashville.

Tabe Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Adding to the transparent pants issue is also this: Apparently, many teams aren't able to get pants. At all. Teams are literally breaking out piles of pants from last year and tossing them onto a table in the locker room for guys to wear. There's also the issue that Fanatics isn't allowing the same customizations of the pants that Nike/Majestic previously allowed. They can still be tweaked but not nearly as much as before.

Travis Sheldon Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I haven't dealt with any Fanatics related trading cards since they've taken over the industry, but I do get a chuckle out of these clothing issues. Somehow I was under the impression they got their start in that industry, but after looking into their history there's a lot of venture capital money involved. To me, at least, that explains most of the issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 seeing a player named Bryce Windham playing for the Cubs in Spring Training.. that would be a solid jersey purchase for any people who are both fans of the Chicago Cubs and Barry Windham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireThunder Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Love this deal for both sides. 3 year deal, $30/$30/$20 with opt-outs after each year. Bellinger gets to prove last year wasn't a fluke and can take a shot at getting a longer deal after one of the upcoming seasons, the Cubs get flexibility and also make sure their hot prospects (PCA, Busch) aren't perma-blocked. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39596106/cody-bellinger-cubs-agree-3-year-80-million-deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 The Yanks and Tigers played the most Spring Training game ever Final was 22-10 where both teams tormented everyone by scoring 12 runs in the 9th inning (It was 14-6 going into the inning) The teams combined to use 18 pitchers... in their first spring training game The Yanks Spencer Jones entered as a PH in the 5th and ended up going 3-3 with a walk, 1 HR and 4 RBIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just awful. All I can think of is their kids and hopefully their kids wind up getting regular screenings for cancer and other disorders yearly. Also, I guess the other part of Curt Schilling being a dumb fuck leaking Tim’s cancer news was that at the time Tim’s wife was going through a very rough time battling pancreatic cancer.

Cobra Commander Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Just heard a promo read for a Legends of Baseball cruise. For anybody wanting to go on a cruise with Mickey Rivers, Ron Blomberg, Charlie Hayes, Homer Bush, Jesse Barfield and Jeff Nelson (the pitcher, presumably). also Blue Jays radio has Pizza Nova promos from Dominic Primucci which threw me off at first because I heard “Dominic DeNucci” and I knew that DeNucci is dead and that I wasn’t listening to a Pirates game.
