Also, do the people who rip on the A's and Moneyball realize that the Red Sox broke the curse by appyling Moneyball principals to a club with deep pockets? Do you think David Ortiz would have ever been on the Sox if triple slashes was all they cared about in 2003?
DEEP POCKETS is the operative word. The Yanks dynasty was won with DEEP pockets. NOT moneyball. Also David Ortiz was one of those guys who was looked at as a prospect who might explode with in Minny. The Yanks looked closely at him at the time because they thought he would be a monster in Yankee stadium.
Schilling, Ortiz, Manny, Damon, Pedro, Papelbon, Varitek.....it did not take a rocket scientist to figure out that a team with that core might win some games. Those 2 great starters, 2 big bats, a leadoff guy a closer and switch hitting power hitting catcher. Money ball or common sense? Oh wait we didn't repeat on that team...lets add 2B prospect Pedroia and Marlins ace Josh Beckett. Nothing there screams of mystical mathematical knowledge you gained. Just money to sign those guys and have money left for some extra pieces.
The Yanks dynasty won by surrounding their homemade talent with supplementary players that they could afford. They tried just throwing money at everybody for a decade and a half before that without making the playoffs once in the 80's.
More recently, the Dogers have proved again and again that cash alone does not build a championship team.
You realize a lot of the dodgers successful pieces are homegrown or diamond in the round agency and trade acquisitions right ? Yes they have money but they don’t spend like crazy in FA but instead trade and build through drafting and developing.

Actually you are Interesting. You do what Trump does you make up silly points. When confronted by facts you pivot to even dumber points. Making up things the other person says. I can tell you are a sad lonely “winner” like he is
Can you please let me know even one fact you have presented? I have provided you actual numbers and references. You have provided your own very flawed bronsexual opinion.
Well id rather be anything that a liberal. So yeah. Your party is actually a joke. Joe biden is your nominee. Lol. The party itself is going to cannibalize itself over the next 10 years.
You’re right. I knew when Trump downplayed covid-19 for weeks that America made the right choice. Now America is thriving...
650k die a year from heart disease in the US. 20 k have died from corona. Virus Sooooo scary
Tell that to the families of the victims, healthcare workers, and the millions of Americans out of work.
Bro. You are going in circles. People are out of work because the government is taking it serious. Yet you just tried to make a jab at trump for not initially taking it serious. Want to try again?
If he initially took it serious we wouldn’t be in this situation.
This is just incorrect on literally every single level haha.
How is that? Do tell.
No you go ahead and tell me how we would not be in this situation if trump “took it seriously enough initially” was the virus going to magically stop spreading if trump issued a country wide shutdown two months ago? Its not an exactly easy decision to just shut down businesses and put millions out of work. Im sure there were a few moving parts. But you seem really smart so go ahead inform me.
Yes, that is what China and South Korea did and they are coming out of this mess. The death rates are lower. Our death rate to this is the worst it rivals a third world country. You clearly don't read or listen to anything other than Fox News. Trump has turned the coronavirus reporting into his new campaign ads. Only problem is they are horrible ads. He is the poster boy for how NOT to lead in a crisis. He takes no responsibility, no leadership and limited action.
Yes, it was not an easy decision if you ONLY care about the economy. But Presidents and leaders job is to make TOUGH decisions. He had the evidence. But his [censored] never pays attention to science. So here we are...2x more dead than 911 and climbing. And still he doesn't take proper action. I can't imagine a person handling this worse.

China? The ones who started this? Who has lied about everything every step of the way? Thats your example?
Our death rate is the worse because we literally get everything from other countries and let people come here from other countries. Thats why we have the most cases.
Most states have ordered you to stay home. How is that not proper action.
20k people is literally nothing.
Enjoy four more years.

You know isolation is bad for people's minds when a thread about Joe Carter devolves into a Trump vs Biden discussion.
The true evolution was:
Joe Carter is awesome
Joe Carter sucks
Do you even WAR
Some basketball [censored]
Political BS -
Kyrie is hugely overrated, good scorer with a great handle, terrible defender, a number 3 guy on a team and not someone you can build around.
Before people start freaking out, you can be a good player and still be overrated..

I didn't read anything before the last page of replies. What in the actual f*ck am I reading right now??
Edit: Ahhh just read back through and I think I get the gist. Some dumb*ss downplaying COVID-19 and blindly following trump. Can't say I'm surprised

It is literally 20k dead people, actually. Your opinion may be that it is figuratively nothing. You say you went to college?
We fought the 2 longest wars in American history for an attack that killed less than 1/6 of that many people. So I guess I would say that it is both literally and figuratively something.

Lol...oh you believe he went to college. Here are the only ways he went to college. He works in the food court. He went on a tour, or he registered for a remedial class.

Generally I’m pretty libertarian with individual rights, but your existence makes a strong case for the need of a registration system that doesn’t allow some people to procreate.

If he is going to be to blaise about the issue and the health concern for all then I'm going to be blaise about any concern for his health or mortality in return.
I work in health care so I just can't handle any more of the dumbs by idiot people who can't even grasp the difference between a virus and bacteria.
