Quest4Nes | 376 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) what smoking gun? some random deleted twitter account. Baseball already said they found no evidence of it. Still the biggest question. If players are wearing wires wouldnt teammates know not to rip their jerseys off? Sick of this hit job. MLB knows to make this story go away they have to pin it all on one team and let that spotlight fester and make 1 team the enemy even though there is so much evidence video sign stealing was league wide. Prior to 2019 there wasnt even a rule against having live feed cameras, but if we are going to punish teams with things prior to it being a rule violation then you need to go league wide because its everywhere.

Quest4Nes | 376 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 yea, when there is no evidence and you are talking about ruining someones career. I know your trying to get under my skin, but Im not an idiot. You know all about your trump conspiracy theories when it comes to your politics.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Opening day is this week. Is anyone excited for a 60 game season? Will they actually play all 60 games? As much as I enjoy baseball, I'm having a tough time getting fired up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please don't remind me of any suggestion of replacement players like we nearly got in 1995 *shudders* Remember how the NFL had to use replacement officials and we ended up with such gems as... I mean I know we don't want 12 men in a huddle but isn't this penalty a bit much? Edited July 19, 2020 by Estil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the games that Reds get to play against the Pirates, Tigers, White Sox and Royals, they should finally be able to get back to the playoffs.

Happy 30th anniversary to the 1990 champs! At least you didn't end up like the Buccaneers who three peated as division champs in 1990-92 and in the last two years just barely missed going to the World Series...and then ended up with twenty straight losing seasons.

I don't suppose you were there for the 70s Big Red Machine? You know, us and Joe B Hall did pretty darn well for ourselves too, we won the championship 1978, runner-up in 1975, and NIT champs (back when it was still a semi-decent thing) in 1976...we're still the only school with multiple NCAA (8) and NIT (2) titles.

I do love your theme song! And this year marks 30 years since the last season at old Comiskey; I wish you guys had found a way to save it to go with Wrigley as historic places but your owner at the time just had to throw a tantrum threatening to move to St. Petersburg if he didn't get his new stadium. And I guess the North Siders can't be left out... That reminds me, are there people in Chicago who are fans of both teams ("Chicago is Chicago") or is it like Democrat or Republican, you're either one or the other, you can't be both? What would say would be the ratio of those two groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Boy I do miss old Comiskey. Saw my first baseball game with my uncle when I was 7 at the old park before it was torn down. As far as fandom, it’s normally north side versus south side but there are times when families are split like mine. Funny how a town can be so civil and brotherly when it comes to the Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks; but absolutely lose it and almost go to war when it comes to baseball. Side note, I do wish the Sox would make theirs 80’s uniforms standard. I like that color scheme and logo so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 The season officially starts tonight. Hopefully they are able to get all of the games in and it feels close to normal by the time the playoffs start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
