All Star Game with lowest ratings ever. What can MLB do to restore some luster to the game?

Has the Midwest been expanding just like the Big Ten?

I want a guy in AAA when I have to put him on the 40.  LoA/HiA are pretty much interchangable with me.  Base it on coaching at that level.

I'm assuming the two who made you their favorite were trying to block you.   We aren't surrounded by geniuses, you know.

He just gave people more credit for their intelligence than he should have.

Nothing.  The A/S game doesn't mean anything to the players.  Maybe make it more of a "Futures" game with pre-arb players.  They'll want to make the team and get some extra cash.   A guy making 10m a year doesn't need that money and everyone already knows who the best players are so he doesn't need that prestige.  He'd rather have three days off.  If the players don't care, the fans won't care.

Looks like there are a lot of fatties in SEC country.  They probably migrated from the Midwest because of the weather.

Is the win for minimum win standards a win for democracy everywhere?
Has North Korea contacted you yet about tearing down the wall to the South?

It's a win for private worlds with specific rules.   WifS will uphold them if you document them.
Not yet.  But I'm hopeful.

i'm actually reading a novel about korean unification right now. is kim jong-il so ronery?

No.

What would be an appropriate wedding gift for Bristol and Levi?

A time machine and a condom.

Can I give my ex wife a time machine to put her back 50 years if she is 49 years old?

If she's your ex-wife, there's no reason to speak to her.  I was divorced in '96.   Last time I spoke to my ex-wife:  1996.

good friday morning to you, michael. i have 2 inquiries. first- these are this pitcher's projected ratings- stamina: 79, control: 69, vs l: 73, vs r: 57, speed 90, flyball: 98, pitches 83, 87, 60, 51. durability 23, health 87. i'm thinking this guy is a career ml mopup at best. would you agree?
and second, when taking over a franchise all your budget stuff resets. as far as training/medical, is the allowable range a sliding scale similar to a 0 speed baserunner is the slowest in the league, not necessarily a guy with no legs? or is there a possiblity i can get screwed even if i jack those up to as high as allowed because it's a 14 out of a possible 20?

If he gets somewhat close to his projects, VR being the biggie, I think he could be a 4/5.   If the VR tops out at 49-50, I'd probably use him in LR just because of his pitches.   However, if the first two top out in the mid 70s with a 50 VR, yeah, he's mop-up/LRB.

As I understand it, a 14 is a 14.   Everyone else can be a 20 but your 14 would work the same as it would if everyone else is a 0.

If Levi and Bristol made a porno,,,,would you view it?

I wouldn't make a point to not watch it if someone said "Hey, watch this!"  Nor would I seek it out just so I could view it.
