LilKitKat's Second Cumming Thread 💦

In general I agree, but also...who had the highest payroll for baseball this year?

The Mets

Didnt make the playoffs

3rd highest? Yankees. Got humiliated by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Toronto is a huge city but in general they are a middle of the road team. But they spent money (5th highest payroll) and wow, in the final four.

But ok, if its only the biggest market, then explain the Royals who won about 10 years ago. If its only franchises with history thene xplain the Florida Marlins. Or how Tampa Bay made it a few times recently. How
The Cardinals have the history, but its a midwestern city with not a lot of media exposure as compared to NY/LA etc and yet have won it all recently.
Being in huge market helps, spending money helps but nothing is ever guaranteed.
People are just upset that the "rich got richer" with the Dodgers in terms of talent but they put it all back in the team instead of their own pockets.
Nobody likes a winner to keep winning. Theats why the most popular teams in each sport are also the most hated (Cowboys. The Chiefs now. The Patriots a few years ago. Duke. The Lakers. The Yankees. The Dodgers. Man U and Real Madrid...)
Agree with all that, and I hate most of those teams

Except the Lakers 🥰💜💛
 
Qualifying was certainly interesting. Not sure if McLaren's pace difference between SQ3 and Q3 was due to the repairs made to both cars, or if the track changed that much in the 24 his between sessions. Would have been nice to see their sprint race pace though.

Stevie Wonder could have seen that wasn't a gap he could go for. Someone seriously needs to interrogate Lawrence in why Lance keeps getting contracts because this is ridiculous.

I'm not even sure you can blame Piastri for that. Maybe a slight lack of judgement to make that move in the first turn of the race, knowing how that corner can be for contact but there's no way anyone could have expected to get launched sideways the way he did.
Well, Lawrence does what he can for his baby boy.
Itll be a good day when Stroll doesnt want to drive anymore.
 
ok I gotta make coffee, breakfast, go for a quick jog, shower, and wake the f up.

A couple things:

• Deferred salary. Check out the Dodgers deferred salary.

😳

• Yeah, the Kansas City Royals won (by “shooting their wad” on pitching) in 2015…and it sparked the current “salary arms race” (not that the absence of a salary cap wasn’t a problem before the Kansas City Royal’s splash out for pitching). I would also argue that success in MLB is basically predicated on pitching, and the big market (money) teams that can monopolize pitching (pitching depth) by poaching from other teams AND STILL afford quality hitting and fielding just might have an unfair "competitive" advantage. The big market (money) teams can also fend off other teams who try to poach THEIR players.

Of course, there WILL (very occasionally) be exceptions to the rule (especially in the current environment with the current rules), but very occasional success for smaller market teams is killing baseball, imho. I’m sure Dodger & Yankee fans (and a few other big market team’s fans) who experience fairly consistent success would disagree.

It is what it is.
 
I have all of his old dms btw...I think it might be against the rules to post them, but if not, Ill happily share.
Very desperate, and good for many laughs.
Another fun one it sounds. Sheesh... Glad you're a big enough person to take people's stupidity in stride. You've put up with mine eloquently thus far! 😉
