New logo isn't bad, but the first Miami logos were awful.

Most people would agree, Pujols was the best player of his generation. His first 10 years were pretty much unmatched by anyone except the likes of Ruth and Bonds. Unfortunately his second half career took a tremendous fall.

With that being said, I think people forget how good Manny was. Without any other context or any other stats, people would look at those averages given above and think he was the better offensive player.

Yeah I mean based on those 3 numbers (BA/HR/RBI), 3 is clearly the best, but obviously there’s more than just those

Of course, one of these players was also a defensive stud as well, while the other 2 were the complete opposite.

Just curious, but what made it seem legit. Because they all have the same characteristics. Blankets covering the windows, and shitty signage in the front. typically strip mall or sketchy area.

I've never gone to one, but I'm thinking that will change soon. One is walking distance from my place. I'm sure a bunch of baws on here got some stories.

A shell of its former self. I'm big into mob history and it's cool to see all these mob guys all over YouTube talking about their life. There is only 1 podcast I know that tries to keep up with the current news, but there really isn't a whole lot. This past week there was a big Lucchese bust involving gambling. Violence is way down, due to surveillance and technology now. Mostly only white-collar crimes now and petty stuff.

re: Barry Bonds only had 4 seasons of more than 45 homeruns

It's not that interesting but a very misleading statement nonetheless

When he was juiced to the gills from 2000-2004, his average per 162 were

.339/.535/.781
1.316 OPS
58 HRs
123 RBIs
197 BBs

During his pre-roid prime from 1992-1999, those numbers were:

.303/.441/.618
1.059 OPS
43 HRs
121 RBIs
136 BBs

His 2001 season highly inflates that average though. Obviously there is a difference, but his one anomaly of season changes those numbers drastically.

His HR average his first 10 seasons was 29.2 HRs, his average before he hit 49 was 31.8 and through the year before he hit 73 was 32.9. In no world is 33 almost 40. So yes, his HR average jumped dramatically after taking steroids, by at least 25%.

1998 is the consensus. From 1993-1997 he was averaging 40 homeruns. I'm not going to include his first several seasons because he wasn't in his prime years yet. So yeah, there was not a big jump in homeruns after steroid use.

Posted by West Palm Tiger561 on 4/8/25 at 7:55 pm

And only 1 season he hit more than 49 home runs (73). Kind of surprising. Also interesting to note is that his homerun average did not drastically change after taking steroids. Was averaging close to 40 hrs a year during his pre steroid prime.

Very surprising. The way parking prices are these days, I'd imagine most teams make this a game.

NY Red Bull striker Elias Monael refuses to play for Salt Lake after being traded.

Posted by West Palm Tiger561 on 3/9/25 at 9:02 pm

Elias Monael is Brazilian, and like most foreign players, is not familiar with the concept of being traded. RSL sent him off on a transfer back to Brazil. He couldn't understand how a team could send him off to another team without his consent. Do you think MLS will do away with trades in the future and get on board with the rest of the world?

re: USL

Posted by West Palm Tiger561 on 3/6/25 at 1:13 am

I'm pretty impressed with USL facilities and fanbase. Most games I see have pretty good crowds. I love the suburban/neighborhood feel some of these stadiums are in. Feels like a real club.
