now there’s a good point, although for long-term strategy, i don’t think it’s a smart move, unless having Scrooge McDuck money will somehow stimulate interest in the sport

Yes, I’m certain that MLB TV and Extra Innings really appeal to baseball’s older demographic.

And regardles…pretty sure that “Scrooge McDuck” still carries a lot of influence over what his son watches and is interested in.

The lack of basic insight here is rather jarring, but I guess that’s the sacrifice you make when you troll for page views.

By the way…baseball will always be the #2 sport, it’s the sport that most kids go to their first professional sporting event to. It’s the most kid-friendly, period

baseball then hockey then everything else as far as kid friendly.

Why doesn’t TBL just take a stance on the issue? He throws all this shit out there and then doesn’t even really put a definitive stance on the issue on paper. Kind of chicken shit, if you ask me.

Why would someone pay 30 dollars a month for it when you can get HBO on TV for what 12 dollars? Or am I missing something.

the rates vary for HBO, anywhere from 10.99 to 24.99 depending where you live, a good chunk of that goes to the cable companies. surprisingly, with comcast I’m moving from one county to another in NJ and i’ll end up paying an extra $2 for HBO per month than at my current address.

I will never hate on TBL’s business acumen. The guy made a million dollars!

Tom Smykowski?

You obviously have never seen pro athletes spend cash

and SBs are overrated especially on a bipolar team. small ball or slugging? which is it on the southside?

man, i loved this thread. time capsule, for shizzle

not enough Mazada talk for the time capsule to apply.

I’m not sure which subject TBL understands less of, business or college football. either way, his ideas and opinions on both just plain suck.

To be fair, Pierre is a poor fielder himself. He has a terrible arm, drops fly balls on occasion and his only value is his speed.

Oh, he sucks. You won’t find me arguing. I just think people get enamored with the young guy and rarely take into account things like defense. Guys with a well deserved nickname like “Tank” generally don’t translate well to MLB outfields.

this is not a media creation. it’s amazing reinsdorf has 1, let it get to this, and 2, let it continue

the sincere-ometer didn;t go off

Naw, that was sincere. Dude’s a stud, and it sucks to see guys out for a year or two.

but I don’t call that an understanding of business.

fair enough.

So if he takes Pierre’s spot you have a big problem in left.
