Exaggeration much?

We knew it was going to be big and gaudy.. I thought it would be about as big as three of those arches, at least…

Can’t wait to see it used anyway

That stupid apple the Mets have

None of those things are really this in-your-face horrible, though.

Well, maybe the hill in Houston.

Holy fuck that’s in our division next year. I just realized that.

Well, he might be pinned by gravity instead of paralyzed by fear, but that’s kind of a po-tay-to/po-tah-to thing. Look at that poor fool, slumped up against a wall in the fetal position, listening to the ungodly hum of the structure, wondering if there’s a way to throw some sort of fabulous, multi-colored bone into the air so we can just cut to the next scene in space already. And if that’s not possible, he has to find a way to hop on one of those painted clouds, crouch down for a bit, and run to the warp zone after he drops behind the structure. It’s his only chance.

Nice.

That's why the Marlins home opener promotion is pacifiers.

as punishment whenever a home run is hit against them.

by Akalhar on Jan 26, 2012 2:14 PM CST up reply actions  

Agreed especially for LH hitters against righties

They make stadiums change tarps over seats and even what color people are wearing in cf seats. That’s a technicolor nightmare. If hitters can really see the seams spinning on a baseball that’s going to be a distraction.

Football can go to hell. The Rangers aren't ready for football season and neither am I.

Is the back going to be open, or are they just not finished with the back of the stadium?

Is its open thats going to be murder during the day.
