I'm imagining something like this.

3 things: 1. I agree, it's a LOT of money 2. It's not my money 3. I'd welcome it if that's the decision, however

You beat me to it! Full sketch:

To be fair to MASN, it's binoculars and not a camera. Watching the game several hours late, so just seeing this.

This is terrific. I always felt that Mounty had a great personality, but those three are great together.

Btw, I realize now that I posted this in an unrelated thread by mistake. I thought it was under the heading NCAA Basketball instead of the Dickie V thread. My mistake. If it can be moved, I appreciate the correction.

I thought there'd be more activity on this forum after that ridiculous NC State run this week. Five wins in five days in the ACC Tournament, topping UNC in the final. I was at NC State in '83 when they went on a run in the conference tournament just to qualify for the NCAA Tourney. I don't forsee anything like what followed, but this week felt magically similar.

It was a 10 day baseball trip. We saw Cal's last game in Fenway, Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards, plus stops to see games in Philly and Pittsburgh. In between, we went to that Ray Davies concert and the Martin Guitar Factory. I want to say on that trip, we started it with a Camden Yards game where we saw Cal's last career HR, too, but I don't know if I am conflating that with another trip. I just know it was late in the season.

In 2001 in Cal's last ever game at Fenway, I was waiting next to the dugout and he stayed a good while and signed for fans after the game. As I recall, I was wearing my O's windbreaker, thought that I was pretty visible as a fan, and was ready to hand him my ball when he stopped. It was foul ball he hit my way the year before that I saved. He stopped signing literally right before me. I figured that since I was a grown man of almost 40 at the time, he assumed I was a card dealer. Oh well. On the drive home, we stopped at the State Theater in Fairfax VA to see a Ray Davies solo performance and I reached in my jacket for the same ball to see if Ray would sign after the show, and doggone it, he stopped right before me. So my assumption from that weekend onward is that folks like bartenders, etc,. whose attention I'm trying to get, is that I'm The Invisible Man.

I've used 3 over the years and I agree that ExpressVPN has been the most reliable. I like its visual design as well as it's easier to navigate on my Mac.

Wonderful piece. I had no idea he was there that day. Truly awful.

I have that. Happy with it.

Mays came immediately to mind. Burned into it, to be honest. I hope he gets 24.

Not defending Apple or MLB, only a clarification, but I do think games that are not aired live as they happen are available on MLB-TV to watch 90 minutes after they are over. I know that's how I saw one of those "exclusives" last year.

That looks like a prehistoric narwhal, something I didn't know existed until I joined their family.

Our oldest kid used to do this to me all the time when I first adopted her. Always with the hypotheticals: "Hey Papa, would your aunt be your uncle if she had balls?" Not really, that but you get the idea. It was more of, "Papa, if you could be dinosaur, which one would you be?"

I read a really thoughtful essay on this kind of thing some time back. It's so hard to say. The '27 Yanks (shifted to 2024) would likely adjust quickly. And in the offseason, hit the weights and have modern trainers and access to their analytic team's strategies. It's easy to say the players from the 1920s would not be as strong or as fast as today's players, but they simply played better than their competition of their time. Whether it was a whole lot better or just a little better, or just enough to win, I can't say. If they played someone better on a regular basis, they'd get even better themselves.

I had no idea this was a thing. Maybe they can have people hit off the top of the Warehouse and into the Inner Harbor next. Or off the Bromo Tower! Personally, I'd like to drive some golf balls into the Hilton that blocks the Bromo Tower.

That worked for me last year. However this year I just tried reloading and it worked.

After the fact answer, but it depends on what platform I'm using. On my Safari browser on my Mac with a VPN, no issue. With my preferred method, the Fire-TV MLB app, I've been denied access for no reason at all. But today, no issue with either. Btw, whoever tipped me to the MLBPAA 50% discount for MLB-TV, thank you! My old subscription expired Feb. 29 and I re-upped with that discount on March 1.

I'm not local, but I still listen on the internet to 105.7 The Fan when I want to hear some baseball talk during the day. I've always liked Ken Weinman.

I'm guessing the camera work was better that Saturday's game? I went back to watch some of it again and it finally dawned on me that the CF cam had the effect of watching the game through binoculars.

I think the CF camera guy has either restless leg syndrome or far too much coffee this morning.
