You should be used to flag football, with all your 7v7 games Glen tells us about.

Not if you are sitting in primo $2,000 front row FT seats.

My kids have gotten a ton of BP balls and balls after the inning is over. They got one from Fatty Vladdy after an inning last year.

You couldn’t, you have had knees like Acuna.

Batting practice to me isn't special. It's not an actual game-used ball. Having a plyer throw you a ball is cool too. My Son had one given to him by Dante Bichette Jr. when he was with the Yankees AA team. Too bad it wasn't from the better Bichette kid.

I never sit there anymore because of the nets. And I've never paid anywhere close to that for a baseball game. The highest I've ever paid for a sporting event was the $600 tickets to be front row at a WWE event so my Son could enjoy it.

Last night was the hardest hit ball I almost had hit my hand, subconsciously I think I knew not to get my hand on it. Was funny that it bounced right back to me. There were 4 girls walking past as I was looking for somebody to give it to. They had those mini batting helmet ice cream bowls so I just gave it to the girl whose helmet was empty. The only way I would keep a ball is if it was a pro rehabbing and I could get his signature. I got my one ball for the year and that’s all I need.

A player flipping the ball is cool and I guess if your favorite player hit a batting practice home run that you got theirs is a connection. This year the Mbraves don’t really have a hot prospect worth trying to get.

Between driving my son to work yesterday and all my running around the headache I have this morning reminded me I forgot to take my medicine. I guess taking it right now wouldn’t hurt.

So I have a sexy voice and I'm ripped?

Do you imagine me as a Greek God or something?

Your chances of meeting me are dwindling by the second...

Pick your sport.

But hey, they won the inaugural women’s hockey championship.

23 girls, one cup.

Congratulations especially since they had to win it twice. That called off goal would’ve been a big story if it happened in the NHL.

JBLR squirrels have single handedly turned the football forum into a dumpster fire bigger than baseball and basketball combined. This is why we can't have anything nice.

Good thing Dallas didn’t have a team, MN would have lost for sure.

But I guess this way Dallas now has a chance to steal the team like they did with the North Stars.

Stop your fussing. You got the Wonders or the Wicked or whatever the hell that irrelevant team is called.
