I'm starting to agree with this in some form or another - but if it's going to happen, it has to happen fast. I think the most viable option is...
Why would MLBPA oppose expanded playoffs? It seems like it creates more buyers when more teams are in the mix for the playoffs. If you add 2...
Extra innings rule didn't make it past 2 years. Adding a DH wasn't an MLB rule change. And you not liking it only until the Astros got a good DH...
Xerobull was talking about a world where crypto is a primary form of currency/investment - not Russia owning crypto today. That's the utopia that...

The crypto argument is that no one can freeze his crypto. Right now, the Central Bank sanctions work because the Russian Central Bank has...
Or he is like every other deranged lunatic dictator and thought he was stronger that he was, thought his opponent was weaker than it was, and he...
But he is a genius and has access to big data.
So in your view, every single thing in the entire world's future would be predictable and no one in the world that has access to "big data" should...
