This past weekend, I was at the celebration of life for the father of a friend I've had since I was 10. I don't see him as often as I'd like, because he, his wife, and their kids don't live in town any more, but I still hang out a couple times a year/text and play fantasy baseball with him all year

Full entire revenue sharing. All broadcast(local and national, radio, streaming, and TV), all MLB gear, ticket sales, "we call it the Ballpark Village" real estate stuff, etc.
Then drop in a salary floor with some teeth to it. And you don't need pro/rel anymore.

I loved the between-the-legs snap, because it was a "finally, it fucking happened to someone else!" that benefitted my team.
But yes, exactly.
Many pitchers are smart, funny, friendly, genuine people.
Every single pitcher, in-game and on the mound, is a fucking DUMBASS.

This is more for the sweets - using up baking fats, sugary preserves, etc. Give you a few days to finish eating all of it before Lent.
I do know quite a few Poles who abstain from meat and/or booze for the entirety of Lent, not just AW & Fridays.

Ooooh boy, just what I want to see, a situation where the Dodgers, Yankees, and Red Sox have an even better set-up at winning a World Series.

Yes, I know - I was being sneaky about it - because the football uniforms are Boston College and the fight song is Notre Dame.
I sometimes forget that other people haven't fallen down the brainholes I have - but the other references were for other CCL schools in Columbus.
