There are some things you should just know better than to say, but I do agree that it has become kind of ridiculous. No matter what you say these days, someone will claim to be offended.

wait… he made an inappropriate joke in his own apartment and it got back to the yankees? wow.

better yet from Ireland, and I’ve met a few of them and none of them were afraid to make a racial joke.

And…isn’t it always “Irish” Tenor, Ronan Tynan?

The only thing I’m offended at is the fact that the comment was even reported, let alone got back to Yankee management and got him dismissed from 7th inning stretch duties.

As a hopefully luck of the Irish sidenote….haven’t the Yankees NOT won the WS since he was the man for the 7th inning? Cuz the earliest I remember Ronan was 2001 with the whole 9/11 thing and everyone getting “patriotic” so the Yanks needed ol Ronan to sing for em.

? Maybe this is a good thing?

but enough with the CAPS please.

they extended the season to 162 games in 1961. ok, 8 games more, fine. then they extended the playoffs to 2 rounds in 1969. ok, 3-5 more games, all righty. then the LCS gets extended in 1985. there’s 1-2 more games. then of course, the LDS, which adds another 3-5 games.

so what used to be 159-162 game season (including playoffs) is now 173-181 games long! that’s a minimum of 11 more games and a max of 22 more! that’s more money for the owners.

i would have absolutely no problem with more baseball if we didn’t see snow-outs and players wearing masks, gloves and sweatshirts every October. and an easy way to fix that (outside of removing games which the owners wouldn’t like) would be to put retractable roofs on parks where the weather might be an issue.
