Man, the Melvin jokes must have been brutal to go back to being known as BJ.


He's the Upton who wasn't all that good, right? He retired a coupla years ago.

Yes... “retired.”

Only place I've ever found Big League Chew in years has been Hobby Lobby.

Sorry. The only BRICK AND MORTAR place I've seen Big League Chew in years has been Hobby Lobby. It's more of a checkout lane impulse buy. Too much time to think about it buying online.

Dicks Sporting Goods has them up front near checkout. I'm going to get some one day and report back

Shriver's in OCNJ has it but I don't know the last time I saw it anywhere else.
Yes son. I'm the best mono-thingy guy there ever was.

Probably just made one big batch in the 70s and are slowly running out.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

"Refreshed" Barve uniforms. Big improvement on the navy alt. The white home is the same

gotta admire what the Reds are trying to do. It will be really tough in that division, but Bryant can't accuse them of not trying.

Might help the Phils, too. If that division beats up on each other and we end up in a fight for the WC, maybe these moves will be the difference for us.

No more Miller Park after 2020. American Family Insurance takes over the naming rights of Milwaukee's stadium in 2021
