    Anyone telling me about a movie I will never see, and quoting said movie, is like death at times... Just shut up! I make a point to never quote movies or talk about the plot if they have not already seen it. I know what it is like on the receiving end, so I don't put people through that. I have never actually seen TikTok in action, probably never will, but I have heard all about it from colleagues that have teenagers. The world these kids are growing up in is sooooooo different than being a kid of the 80's...

    I can relate, but the opposite of ancient is current... I teach High School. I constantly have kids that ask if I have seen "insert current culture youtube clip, movie, whatever" or even worse, some new music video clip of really bad current crappy music. My answer is "NO" 99% of the time. It is world ending if I don't see it, so they want to show me. I tell them they can show me after class, hoping they forget. They NEVER forget, so same thing with me. They pull it up on a device, either their phone or chromebook, and I stand there, uninterested, hating every last second, waiting for it to be over. I'm not as nice as you, if I hate it I just tell them it isn't for me, which I usually tell them from the very beginning, or if it is music, I tell them it was horrible, and I like actual rock music. lol I feel the pain.

    With Phelps we have signed the 3rd most players in the NL for the 6th highest total dollar amount... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/01/free-agent-spending-by-team-national-league.html But did we also cut the most money from last year's roster?

    It could extend Braun in Milwaukee if it hits as early as 2021.

    You could also join one of the many facebook pages specifically devoted to bobbles and sga items... For example: https://www.facebook.com/groups/907374242654594/

    yup, I love bobbles, but they are dangerously close to severe overkill.

    Jon Heyman of MLB Network writes that the Cubs are one of "about a half dozen teams" considering free agent second baseman Scooter Gennett. Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reported the Cubs' interest in Gennett on Monday. He's reportedly working out for a couple of teams this week, so a decision should soon follow. His value couldn't be any lower after a disastrous 2019, so he makes sense as a buy-low candidate for a number of teams. RELATED: Chicago Cubs SOURCE: Jon Heyman on Twitter Jan 28, 2020, 1:09 PM ET

    Has anyone said the Reds are clear favorites on this site? Not being snarky, I don't remember anyone saying that. With the Brewers turning over more than half of their roster, if anyone is questionable as far as how the new pieces will work, it is the Brewers. I have said from the beginning that the Reds WILL have something to say about who wins the Central. Either they will be in real contention or they will win enough more games in the division that they will have an impact. I honestly see them as actually contending, along with the Cards, Cubs and Brewers. One of those 4 teams is going to win it, and any of them could. The Brewers are fielding a roster, more so than any other team in this division with the most amount of question marks, which is troublesome for me. People talk about the Reds adding pieces on paper, and we won't know how they actually fit and perform, but the Brewers are in the same boat, even more dramatically.

    ^Question regarding this. If I bought a 4 pack to get the Elf bobblehead, and one of the dates in that package is on Star Wars night, do I have to purchase more tickets to get the Star wars bobblehead, or can I call and they would sell me the vouchers, even though I am not a ssh? I was a bit frustrated to find out I have crap tickets on star wars bobble night, and no way to get the bobbles...

    ^Excellent take. This is exactly the issue I'm having here lately. There isn't much I can say here that I haven't said in countless other threads, but it would be nice if people were allowed to have opinions without others telling them that their opinions are not valid, yada, yada, yada.
  12. TURBO
    Odds are, to make a trade involving division rivals, someone is going to overpay.
  13. TURBO
    Shocking you want to get rid of Lutz once again. Do you include him in EVERY trade deal you come up with because you hate him, or do you view him as the only player in our minor league system that anyone would want? geez.

    The kool-aid is flowing... I get it, we have people who hate the thought of talking bad about the team, so much so, that anyone suggesting this team has not taken a step ahead, in fact has moved in reverse, is scolded, scorned, and made to feel like their opinions aren't valid. To be 100% honest, I'm in the camp that says we are not a playoff team for 2020 as the teams sits today. All the people who have continuously said it's early, everything will work out, etc, I'm not seeing it. Barring a big trade of some kind, if this is the team we go into battle with, hoping and praying that all these retreads, once weres, and bounceback guys pay off, it will be a long season. Waiting to make a deal at the deadline won't do us much good if we are out of it by that time. Any deals we make at the deadline could very well be to sell off pieces for the future, not to improve our chances at the playoffs. When is panic time? When can the people who don't see this roster as a playoff type roster start to worry? July is too late, there is no way we can possibly expect an ending like last season where we had to play out of our minds to make it to the wildcard. Lightning doesn't strike twice, much less three times in 3 straight seasons. The sky may not be falling, but I see very little reason for unbridled optimism either. I want to be wrong, and hopefully I am, but if I were a betting man, I wouldn't bet a nickel on this year's team making the playoffs.

    So now you are trying to tell us what to wear to a ballgame? Because you don't like to wear jerseys to games, then no one else should wear jerseys to a game? To be honest, the last jersey I bought (a knock-off of course) was back in 2010 or 2011 (Braun). I have worn it maybe 4-5 times total. I'm not a big jersey guy myself, and in all actuality, would rather have a jersey with no name and number, so when the player leaves, or starts to suck, I am not stuck with it. The only T-Rats jersey I own has no name and number, and I have worn it maybe 4-5 times as well. This time, I bought a Hiura. I saw him play most of his games in Appleton, and really like the dude. Thought I'd take a chance and grab one for a measly $20. I find it strange that you have become a Sargent on the baseball jersey police force, but if that is what it takes to make you feel good about your choice in gamewear, then have at it.

    Who is trying to fool anyone? If it makes you feel better, I can wear a disclaimer sign around my neck so everyone knows I'm not trying to fool them. I am far past the point of trying to impress anyone with material objects such as baseball jerseys. I simply don't care. I ordered one so that when I do wear it, I don't have to worry about it getting wrecked by some idiot at a game, or myself for that matter. If I get a stain on a $20 jersey, no sweat off my back. If I get a stain on a $300 jersey, that would be a problem for me. Hell, if I was foolish enough to spend $300 on a baseball jersey, I would be scared to wear it.

    *gag*gag*gag* There it again, the Archer stuff just never goes away.

    I don't see what this has to do with anything......at all. The Reds have improved, and makes the division that much tougher to win.

    Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reports that the Cubs continue to have interest in free agent Scooter Gennett. Gennett had a nightmare 2019 season, first missing time with a severe right groin strain before struggling with a .226/.245/.323 batting line over 139 plate appearances between the Reds and Giants. Still, he was a very productive hitter between 2017-2018 and makes sense for a team who has been reluctant to make any major investments this winter.

    Looking forward to replies to your post. I agree by the way.

    I do not...I think I ordered the cool base. I did some Google searches and it sounds like the Flex base are equivalent to on-field jerseys, with mesh areas and the longer tail. Cool base are more tailored to fans... the “replica” jersey style. Good to know, glad I got the cool base then...lol

    Which is exactly why I said this above: "Sadly, the Brewers don't care about what the loyal collectors want, they just want to sell tickets, and these players will do just that."

    I will thank you now. This site looks awesome! A couple questions: Any suggestions on sizing (do they run smaller than usual or anything)? Have you ordered anything with a custom name on it? Do you just put it in the notes during checkout? I belong to a facebook page that is bananas over this site. TONS of people have ordered them, received them, and are very happy! I placed an order last week, but haven't gotten it yet, so I can't answer your questions first hand. I was told that the sizes run pretty normal, and it was not necessary to order bigger, so I ordered my normal size. Not sure on the custom, I ordered a Hiura gray version, so didn't use the custom route.
