In this thread, we list things that have entered our consciousness since the last time the National League won the All-Star Game. They may have existed prior to that, but they have exploded onto the scene since. Or, they didn't exist at all prior to that.

Here's a list I came up with to get us started:

The Macarena

Tiger Woods

Reality TV

Baltimore Ravens

Washington Nationals

Washington Wizards

George W. Bush

Barack Obama

Derek Jeter

High Definition Television

Britney Spears

Juan Dixon

Ralph Friedgen

Women's Basketball

Michael Johnson

Michael Phelps

Al Qaeda

Monica Lewinsky

Y2K

24

Electric/Hybrid cars

MP3s

DVDs

The Internet

The Marlins have won two World Series and the Diamondbacks have won one since then while the Rockies and Rays have reached the fall classic.

Moneyball

18 no hitters, 3 perfect games and 48 cycles

I was thinking about this last night as well, there are kids who are 12 years old that only know the Brewers as a National League team.

The cool thing to me, as a kid from the 70's, is that back then the AL never won. It was completely the opposite of the way it is now. I had to listen to year after year of guys like Pete Rose talking about how the National League had more pride, wanted it more, had more hustle, etc... etc. My how things have changed. Oh, and the O's were one of the best franchises in the game. As a kid I used to wonder how teams such as the Cubs and Indians were so bad year after year. Now I understand :(

My sweet baby.

"I was drowning in my sorrows, til my sorrows learned to swim."

Then I discovered this board, that gave me confidence to join another board... where I met my baby. Started talking to her, not even hitting on her, just as a friend who I thought was very interesting. Things bloosomed and bloomed and we fell in love.

That happened since the last time...

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      A couple of things that I find interesting, Yaqui Rivera - Acquired in the Tanner Scott/Cole Sulser trade with the Marlins. Juan Nunez - Acquired in the Jorge Lopez trade.   Creed Willems - still only 20 and already in A+.  He got off to a big start last year as well and then struggled the rest of the year.  We're a little spoiled with prospect success from the college guys and HS phenoms Mayo, Holliday, and Gunnar.  The HS position players take some time.

      Perez threw an inning of rehab last night with Norfolk.  His velocity was down about 1.5 MPH on his sinker, and everything was down a tick, but he was getting some work in and doesn't look too far away from being ready.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      I don’t trust that guy to be very useful despite the strong start. He’s a good regression candidate. Would rather have Kopech.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      O's have Fabian behind Bradfield and Mullins will likely decline after '25 when he becomes a FA. I think one of those two should be able to hold down CF. Beavers could be in the mix as well.

      Its a total joke that Wagner isn’t it in yet.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I see no dilemma. He’s under team control right now during his best season’s. When he becomes a FA he will be out of his prime. I mean I love Mullins as a player and what he brings. But when we are talking about priorities for extensions, he is nowhere near the top considering you have an MVP caliber 22 year old, an ultra talented top prospect who is 20, and your team leader is 25. Those 3 are the engine that will drive this bus toward postseason glory most probably, not Cedric Mullins. If the Yanks want to give him that kind of contract while we retain 2 out of the 3 if Henderson, Rutschman, and Holliday; then so be it!  What I shudder to think about is a prime Henderson or Holliday crushing it for one of our competitors so that we can have a declining CF. Didn’t we just do that the last go around? Where we choose to resign the (predictably) declining player while we let the younger/more talented player leave? Yes, I agree that Bradfield Jr’s development is important. But since Elias/Sig have been here they haven’t struck out on any first round picks. Also, if Bradfield proves to be a bust, they can always draft and/or develop another CF type.

      Thanks, I missed that detail probably multi-tasking in the game thread. I do think Kimbrel has a good shot*...Wagner should go in next cycle, and the electorate in the coming years will be wrestling with how Epstein, Friedman, etc. have improved per pitch efficiency by downsizing the workload literally any individual pitcher can shoulder.      There can't not be any Hall of Famers with all this run prevention going on.    I think now that he's officially retired Strasburg will be a good debate.    Bumgarner too, though I don't believe I've seen that guy yet admitting any retirement. *better shot if say he can get the last out of an important postseason series or three in 2024.
