  1. I think that's the way it works for the American leagues as well. I honestly only care about the MLS cup, but ATLUTD have also competed in the Concacaf Chanpions League, U.S. Open Cup, and the Campeones Cup.I have no idea where the prestige lies.
  2. The biggest disconnect for American sports fans is the concept of teams competing for multiple trophies. I didn't get it until Atlanta United won the MLS cup, and then participated in Copa, Gold Cup, and concacaf. Even then, while I understand the concept, I still don't understand where the leagues exist as far competition/prestige in Europe. This post may not make any sense.
  3. Oh, I definitely had them. I had a bunch of pretty much everything else mentioned as well. G.I. Joe was what I probably had the most of, but thanks to the internet G.I. Joe just makes me think of pork chop kitchen fires.
  4. If Acuna's injury is serious the Brave's are in serious trouble. What a shame.
  5. I just found out that Hasbro owns Death Row Records. I get that it's a subsidiary, but it still made me lol.
  6. The 80s for me are Robotech and Star Blazers. I do have all of the MASK toys somewhere.
  7. Domestic violence call, arrest the 1st black guy they see, and later find out the actual suspect was white. Cops are so damn stupid.
  8. Baseball managers are the least consequential out of all sports. They sign the lineup card, and make pitching changes. 90% of their job is to stand on the top step of the dugout and yell come on kid. They are glorified cheerleaders. Do you actually watch the games, or do you just get score updates? Going into yesterday's game Morton had a 1.13 ERA in the 1st 4 innings. He gave up 5 in 3 yesterday. Is that on Snitker? The Braves lead the league in team bullpen ERA (low 2s), yet they were garbage over the weekend. Snitker? Pache's bat isn't ready for the show, but there is no minor league for him to participate in. They can't just let one of their best prospects rot. Snitker? The NL leader in HRs and RBI from last year has 1 HR and 4 RBI with a sub .200 BA. Duval would've helped cover that up but without a universal DH there isn't a roster spot for him. Snitker is exactly the kind of manager you want at the helm on a team this young. Complaining about him just makes you sound like a typical know-nothing caller to a sports talk radio show.
  9. You called him a journeyman. He isn't. That's what I was addressing. Words mean things. They play 160 games. Calm down, or send your hat back. I don't really give a shit.
  10. he's been with the organization forever. it's ultimately up to the players to win games. the Braves will be fine.
  11. there are far more checks in place in order to prevent pharmacists from doing this, though.
  12. Yep. The quality of the opponent will almost always dictate the quality of the athlete (unless you are Katie Ledecky). It's impossible to draw any conclusions about how women would perform against men without them actually competing against men. This would have to be a generational test study. You can't just say best v. best at this point.
  13. not really. their mental fitness is even further behind. I can't think of a group of employees that are less capable of performing their duties than law enforcement.
  14. If she had permission to use the vehicle then she is protected under the 4th amendment.
  15. sure you can. she wasn't who they were looking for. move on.
  16. The person with outstanding warrants wasn't in the car. It's none of his business what is in the car at that point. I'm not insulting the officer. I'm questioning why we don't have fitness requirements for a job where fitness is potentially extremely important.
  17. she obviously wasn't who they were looking for. Let her go, and live to fight another day. Why are morbidly obese people allowed to be on patrol?
  18. Stop pulling people over when they don't pose an immediate threat to public safety. This protects law enforcement as well. The officer that was just shot in New Mexico pulled the driver over for a tint violation. This poor kid was stopped for an air freshener.
  19. Bohm still hasn't touched home plate.
  20. This win alone is estimated to earn him $1 billion in endorsements.
